      Thanks Lando…I'm hoping they're not ruined but there's still enough indigo I can wear these out for a while before it'll be noticeable.  But yeah it's more of a "damaged" crease...don't think I can really fix it.

      Guess just live and learn. In any case, they are perfectly fine and with some wear that crease will fade away. Photos would be great if you happen to get a chance or are able. Cheers

        You washed and dried your jeans inside out? Yes? ….

            THanks for the link Lando…yes washed inside out but I think the stiffness during the drying process caused the crease to get set and rub against the inside of the machine...  Had to do it since I wanted a lot of shrinkage.  Oh wells still ok till they really start to fade.

              have always been curious… do all cotton tshirts/shirts shrink upon the first wash/soak(hot?) ?

                It's usually the dryer that does it but if they're not pre-shrunk they are bound to shrink a little

                  Even pre-shrunk tees will shrink a little bit over time and multiple wash/dry/wear cycles, it's just the way tree shirts are.

                            This afternoon, I took most of jeans to the beach and dumped them in the ocean for a good soak. Here are some pix and a video. The water was freaking cold, but after a while I did not feel any pain and actually had a great time in the water.

                            The almighty 634SR that Haraki overdyed for me

                            634XHS vs Samurai 24oz (no contest, but nice pic!)

                            Not sure what these are, but I like the sand on denim texture

                            Another shot of the OD'd SR's

                            Nice patch, nice pants, great light, what more does one want from life?

                            and the video will be ready in 29 minutes, so I'll post it in a separate post

                              this post wasnt a "care for your denim" post but rather a "denim poetry / art / lifestyle" post!

                              I almost would be pretentious enough to call it a denim haiku post…

                                            about 10 and my IH27 shirt, which I LOVE.

                                            There is a number (too many in fact) that I dont wear because I spend most of my time in the 634XHS and when I dont wear this one, I wear the 24oz dark blue PBJ's. I used to wear the SR's but these have been relegated to the bottom of the pile of active pants.

                                            Those I do not wear at all are the light weight pants (the Evisu x Sugarcane or the lightweight PBJ's) and the 634S's. I wish there were more legs or I could change during the day because I love those S's and even the light PBJ's (incredible texture and color, I'd love a slubby IH model one of these days)… Also, I've gained a size and some since 2010 and some of my 31's are too tight. Maybe this Summer when the heavy heavy ones are too hot... and when I've regained some thinness...
