@Jcaz6996 - is that Alderton? Looks familiar…

[Jcaz6996]

@Nocturama yeh sure is only a small site with 28 houses on it. We’ve only got a 5 houses left to build it’s been a very slow programme .
You from that area ?

@Jcaz6996 - I live the other side of Tewkesbury, but worked for many years in Ashchurch, so cycled the area regularly (at least during the warmer months).
I also did football coaching in Winchcombe until recently, so drove past that location twice a week for a few years too.
Lovely area - I recognised the hills first, then saw the derelict garage in the background to pinpoint where you were! ️‍️

I gave mine another machine wash last night after soaking and agitating in our utility sink. Flipped it inside out and used color-safe bleach (peroxide based, no chlorine) detergent. Kept it inside out and put it in the dryer. The jacket looks clean and the white fades are brighter than before. I will take photos and post my results.

@Oaktavia
curious to see how they look now bro

[Oaktavia]

@Daniel-San I will take photos when I have a break from work if the lighting is good, otherwise I will take some when I get home.

Edit: I'll try and do both since you're in a later time zone than me.

It has gotten to the point where I am okay with using a dryer. I do not dare to use one until I am satisfied with my fades. I wanted to experiment a little bit and see if it would change the way it looked or felt but honestly it did not seem to change it much at all besides simply making it dry. I think the wash is what made it look the way it does not and I am ecstatic with the fade results. Can't wait for you to get a new one too bud. Not if we could get an indigo/black version...

@Oaktavia @Daniel-San - has there ever been an indigo black lefty denim? Can it be done? Would be awesome.

@Crispy-Heron Are you asking if there has been an overdyed lefty? If so, yes there has been. https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/6859/ih-526lod-19oz-left-hand-twill-selvedge-denim-type-iii-overdyed-indigo?page=1
