    Different strokes for different folks. I dig the channel and learning about how others wear and treat their jeans. I only buy in Japan and wear daily. I don’t do anything special, just wear my denim and don’t worry about babying it. Takes me a little longer to get sweet fades, maybe 10-12 months but I get a lot of satisfaction from my natural fades as well as the time and memories it took to get there. Aside from buying based on need, I always get a new pair of jeans to mark significant moments in my life. Got a pair when I got married, pairs for the births of my boys, a pair for a significant job, a pair when I earned my masters degree, etc. I find it rewarding to mark achievements with a physical object and then fades become a new memory associated with the achievement and I reflect on it each time I pull them on.

      Me too bro. My 21oz 777s Have not been washed once yet (surprisingly don't stink) and I bought them October last year. My whiskers up top are starting to develop finally and my thighs in the right light show a bit lighter indigo wear. But man do they make you earn it...I guess it's that heavyweight life.

    Did you wear them EVERY day?
    So final wash is:
    1. Regular cold wash-gentle, no spin (EVER)
    2. 1 hour soak- 100 liter cold water 1/2 cup of bleach.
    3. Regular cold wash-gentle, no spin (EVER)
    Also what soap do you use?
    Thanks brother! Got my first pair IH 777 XHS at 30 days of every day wear ! 🤘👌🤙

    Funny question but....can i do that (fading) with 100$ jeans or those samurai jeans are made of special kind of denim so they can be treated/faded that way?

    • @Fjorde
      @Fjorde  11 месяцев назад +1

      Sadly, it's not possible. It's hard to get a good contrast if you dont have jeans that have a lot of indigo to start with. 👊👊👊

    • @hwil09
      @hwil09 7 месяцев назад +1

      There are plenty of $100 jeans that are great faders, bravestar denim, benzak denim and mischief are high quality selvedge indigo denim for around $100.

    • @orlog3343
      @orlog3343 Год назад +2

      It can cause unnatural fade marks that are like straight line. Personally, turning them inside out I’ve never noticed it and it only looks bad if you are going for high contrast and get an aggressive fade mark where it shouldn’t be

  • @SarcoidosisWarrior
    @SarcoidosisWarrior Год назад +1

    I believe from experience that it's about right to wash selvedge denim every 3/4 months exactly as you say. I don't do the shrink to fit bit though. I use bleach to really diluted as you mention and the honeycombs are amazing.

    • @mikv8
      @mikv8 25 дней назад +1

      This has to be natural indigo dyed denim. Usually it's called raw selvedge denim. Most mainstream jeans won't fade like that as they are dyed differently with cheap chemical dye.
