Clean Start Project Out-of-State Month 4

February 25, 2013

Since we host the OKC Clean Start photo shoots at Blue Seven, we get to see most of the photos while they happen. There are perks to this… we grab a soda and catch up with friends, we talk about style and what everyone’s wearing — the excitement for us is then, happening in that moment. Receiving the photos a week later is more like a documentation of that experience.

However, it makes for a completely different experience when we open our inbox to retrieve the Clean Start out-of-state participants’ photos. We don’t get to see these photos in action. How are their jeans evolving? What did they wear in the photos? Where did they take their photos? Opening our email is the experience for us. We hope that you enjoy getting these photos every two months as much as we do.

Clean Start Project Month 4 Photos

February 19, 2013

In the fourth month of the Clean Start Project, the jeans aren’t the only things changing. We’ve noticed how our local participants are starting to find common threads and developing friendships through the challenges of the Project. With only two months to go, we can hardly wait to see how this group continues to learn from each other’s wisdom and wear patterns.

Clean Start Month 2 Photos

December 14, 2012

Our Clean Start participants have been wearing their jeans for 60+ days. We’ve already made patches and repairs on several pairs and a few wear patterns are starting to become apparent. We captured a moment with each of our Clean Starters in their jeans around day 59…

Alex Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Alexandra Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Alexandra’s jeans have participated in interstate travel, going south to Houston for a family wedding.

Aliester Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Allison Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

As someone that’s fond of skirts & leggings in the winter, Allison was a little skeptical about doing Clean Start. She told us that wearing the same jeans every day has forced her to be more creative with layering cardigans and scarves. (Cardigan & shirt from Blue Seven)

Amanda Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Amy Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Amy reports that she’s had one incident with white paint and many incidents with dog slobber.

Ashley Smith Blue Seven Clean Start Project Month 8

We had to make a pocket repair for Ashley Smith after her phone fell out of her pocket at an inopportune moment (in the toilet). No worries though, the phone and the pocket both survived.

Ashley Sellers Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Ashley ‘s beautiful kids decided to join the Clean Start photo. We think that’s fitting since we’re crediting the wear on her knees to picking up one or two toys in the last 60 days.

Ben Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

We’re not sure what Ben is so happy about. Let’s assume it’s Clean Start…..or perhaps his recent successful Kickstarter project to raise money for the recording of his new album.

Blake Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Blake’s jeans are already showing great wear and creasing. Check out those knees.

Brendon Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Brendon: “18 oz. of denim keeps you warm… but requires a mental and physical strength.”

Brent Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

With everything that Brent’s into these days, we’re surprised to hear that he hasn’t had any spills on his jeans. Hopefully, this doesn’t jinx anything!

Caleb Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

That look on Caleb’s face is because its only 2 months in and he is already tired of seeing red.  He misses his indigo!

Chance Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Chance has run out of gas four times since he started wearing my Clean Start jeans. Clearly his jeans are conspiring against him.

Chris & Lisa Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Chris & Lisa look so happy because for this brief moment they get a much deserved break from their (very lovely) children.

Darren Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

That’s Darren’s little boy Lochlan making his first Clean Start appearance.

Derek Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Derek recently got a new girlfriend. Was it because of the jeans? Possibly…

Dusky Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Dusky is convinced that “you can dust almost any stain out of these jeans with your hands.” We agree.

Dusty Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Dusty proposed (in his jeans) to his lovely girlfriend in a way that only he could pull off. She said yes. We’re sure it was the jeans.

Elaina Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Emily Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Emily always wears a Falling Whistle.

Eric Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Eric was recently honored with the Emerging Artist award from the Paseo Arts Association in OKC! Congrats!

Jacob Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Jacob carries the denim-on-denim (sometimes on denim) look well.

Jeremiah Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Most definitely, Jeremiah.

Jeff Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Jennifer Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

We assumed that was a phone in Jennifer’s back pocket, but no, it was a calculator! (accountants…)

Joe Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Joe visited Raleigh Denim recently and shared the Clean Start project concept. Raleigh Denim, if you’re reading this, Hello!

Joel Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Jonn Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Josh Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Josh Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

From working in a BBQ restaurant, Josh’s jeans may have seen the most spillage of any pair in Clean Start… BBQ sauce, wing sauce, soda, tea…

Kathleen Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Not only does she look awesome but her work is not too bad either.  We’re going to take this opportunity to direct you to Kathleen’s blog. It’s pretty great.

Kris Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Kristy Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Lacey Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Lacey turned 26 in her Clean Start jeans. She celebrated with a bonfire with friends… that she smelled on her jeans for several days.

Lizzie Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Lizzie loves her jeans so much that she’s slept in them several times. But she warns that her sheets turned blue!

Matt & Sara Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Sara’s jeans have survived cooking two turkeys at Thanksgiving.

Matt wore his jeans to a wedding with a pink tuxedo shirt and green tie!

Matt Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Do you think Matt loves to paint? Yep.

Matthew Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Mauricio Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Megan Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Megan told us that she may finish the Clean Start project by running a 15k in her Clean Start jeans.

Molly Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Wearing her Clean Start jeans has been a time saver for Molly and having to style around her jeans has inspired her get creative.

Nathan Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

So far, Nathan’s jeans have survived two Flaming Lips concerts, an emergency trip to an animal ER and a trip to Ireland.

Orchid Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Sloane Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

The very first day that Sloane wore these jeans out of the shop, she bleached the bottom of one leg. She has no idea how it happened.

Steven Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Tanner Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Tiffany Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Tiffany is really happy about Clean Start.

Tony Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Ty Blue Seven Clean Start Month 2

Ty’s 15 month old niece spit up on his right leg. She’s super cute though, so it’s okay.

Tyler Blue Seven Clean Start Project Month 8

Tyler is another one of our Clean Starters who’s wearing their jeans from last year for another 6 months. Last year, he avoided wearing his jeans when he played with his band in smoky bars. This year, he’s been throwing caution to the wind and has worn them during shows. Febreze and fresh air…

Clean Start Project by Blue Seven

On October 1, 2012, we officially started our second Clean Start Project. With over 50 people participating in this year’s Clean Start Project, it took hours of photography, editing, information gathering and denim documenting to produce our Month 0 Clean Start photos. Thank you to the lovely Greer Inez Photography for capturing our participants.

We produce this project because we love it. We love denim. We love connecting with our customers & friends around the world. And, we want to make it bigger and better every year. Thanks to everyone that followed along as we documented last year’s Project — We hope to make this one even better.

You’ll notice that not all 50+ participants are featured below. We decided to split the photos into multiple blog articles to keep the article length reasonable. (Your scrolling finger will thank us)
