          Random but wondering…does old denim fade slower than denim that was recently made? Ive been sitting on a pair of og 21oz since 2020 and it got me thinking. Like, does the dye “imbed” more over time?

            I had a pair of 555 21oz back in 2014
            The indigo was darker.

            Then brought another one in 2021 felt the indigo is lighter.
            This one fade slowly.

              aren’t there two versions of the 21 oz denim ?
              an early one and second what we have now 🤔

                Time changes everything, the Beetle Buster was the same as the older 21oz 555 in dye colour.

                But my votes goes what came out 10 years ago.

                Not only that the shirt 33 indigo colours has change as well too.

                Right side is new colour use on the shirt

                Left side is the old colour

                    @Kasi awesome comparison! Is the amount of wear approx. the same?

                      I feel as though the dye as well as the cotton may have an influence on fading potential as well. The older denim (Beatles Buster era) from what I remember used Zimbabwe cotton. Which probably has different characteristics than the more recent cotton IH uses now

                      I'm as ugly as you

                              Looking for places jeans can be sent to have them tapered down to a smaller hem? Had a bad experience locally where I took in a pair of Naked and Famous jeans to be tapered and they cut and removed the entire selvedge I.D. Would like to avoid that next time around lol. Thanks folks!

                                @christoph I am pretty sure Rail Car offer a tapering service. Losing the selvedge ID might be the price you pay depending on how much tapering you require though

                                The devil is in the detail..

                                  @christoph I,also, had that happen once,and since then I always request that the jeans be taken in from the Non-Selvedge side. That way it doesn’t matter how much you need taken in.

                                      Afternoon fellas,
                                      Probably the stupidest and most irrelevant question I have asked….
                                      I just made my first dip into the -Re:Love section, and came out with a 526PJ. It’s awesome and i love it. And to make the best even better, its got a lovely smell. So i was wondering what detergent you use? Hopefully something exotic and pricey!

                                      Mahalo!

                                        @NorvilleRogers congrats on your good snag at the re-love section!! I once grabbed a XHSbb there😎 i just use what i have for grabbs nothing special.. just don’t use to much just a small zipp will do imo.

                                          We ask all Relove pieces to be washed before sending them to us so there is going to be a load of different, country-specific detergents used out there.
