The Evolution of Iron Heart

Not wanting to split hairs, but Indigo only sits/oxidizes on the surface of the yarn when it is rope dyed. The yarn is tightly twisted as it goes through the vat of dye, therefore not allowing the indigo to penetrate to the centre of the yarn, Look at indigo forum tee's, they are garment dyed and therefore the indigo has soaked into the fabric…
Thanks for clarifying, I knew I was missing something

Couldn't imagine going a year without washing.
My SExIH07BK's have never once touched water and I purchased them the first day they came out a few years ago. However, I do not wear them every day and they do not smell. I also have pairs that I wash regularly. I just depends on the pair, type of denim, how I feel, the rarity of the jean model, etc.
Best reply yet. Basically who cares, and you do what you feel. Plus if you wash after say a month, and you feel you made a mistake, just don't wash for another 6 months, no harm, not like the jeans won't fade properR

Photo is from awhile ago, but worn for a total of maybe a year and a half total over the last couple years
Machine washed a total 3 or four times, soaked in water and Woolite Dark as needed (prob every 4-8 weeks)
Still plenty dark, some crease fades
I don't get a lot of compliments on them, I don't mind the fading pattern as it reflects my life. If anyone has a problem with them, I have an alternate shiny spot on my ass to kiss
Said kiss applied

I just checked and these were released on December 5th, 2009. So a little under 3 years without a wash…
