@Oaktavia following your journey and patiently waiting for this

40 days of wear paired with UHR.

I have worn it mostly indoors but I do venture out for walks along the river every couple of days. Wore it several times hiking on mountain trails during vacation and drenched it in sweat. It gets gnarly when I am doing housework and yard work too. Typical things I do in all of my denim.

When it gets wet from sweat, I take it off and lay it flat out facing the sun. I then let it bake there for about an hour or so. Before putting it back on, I spray the pits and weft area with a water/isopropyl alchohol solution combined with some drops of essential oil clove. This really helps neutralize any smell and pushes off the first wash. I'll see how long I can last for. The electric blues are just now popping.

Sounds and looks glorious.

Requesting some detailed pics of the popping Electric Blue @Oaktavia.

[Oaktavia]

@Aetas I can definitely take some more detailed shots of the electric blues soon.

Damn dude! You’re crushing this thing. The IPA mix is a classic one for stench. Keep it up. Summer is so humid now and I’m north of you. Keep up the great work man. I’m loving the updates

Yeah @GTPowers tipped me off to the spray. Normally I would probably have washed it by now, but I really want to see how far I can put off a first wash. I'll definitely keep it up, I really have developed an affection towards this CPO.

@Oaktavia awesome macro shots & amazing shirt

[SKT]

@Oaktavia looks so good my man. Loving the pen in the pocket.

[FlavourFade]

@Oaktavia fantastic!! When I think about how Long I needed to produce visible fades in 21oz bottons it's crazy how contrasted your fadelines are already

[Oaktavia]

@FlavourFade for the first 23 days, I had it on 24/7, morning noon and night. Its pretty grimey now, so I dont sleep in it currently. Once it receives its first wash, I'll start sleeping in it again. The key is to wear it as much as humanly possible to get these shirts to fade quickly. 100% dedication, even on days when its 90F + outside like today.

Some folks seem to fade bottoms more rapidly, I recall @louisbosco telling me this in Gosport. I feel like my bottoms take forever to fade, seems like twice as long almost. I am not sure why. Maybe I move my upper body around more and shirts/jackets just get abraised more than my pants.

Could we expect this in a western cut too? Not sure if someone has already asked and I missed it!
