Sweat more than likely damages denim over time (where are ya Doug Ng?) but heat and humidity works wonders with fading. Just check out any number of jeans from Indonesia. My jeans take a leap forward in evo anytime I'm in Hong Kong.

The problem with sweat is that when it dries, it leaves behind salt residue, which is abrasive as hell. This is one of the reasons those folks in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, etc. get dramatically fast wear.
Evo/wear is a double edged sword- it looks cool, but it is the steady destruction of the denim that gives it that look. Fast wear = shorter lifespan. Your call as to which is more important.

I'm not a fan of smelling like my father in law, and I'm even less a fan of being sweaty, so that's the reasons why I'm going to retire my 25oz for the summer. But yes, salt is incredibly abrasive. Any type of crystal is abrasive.
To each their own, though

This is so true..Iv slept in mine a few times early on. When i wake up my jeans are a lot more stiff and abrasive …I had no clue it was because of the sweat. I def don't want to smell BUT i'll give it a whirl and if they start to smell i'll wash em then. My pair is moving along pretty well right now so a premature wash won't be that bad. Thanks for the info I definitely got my answer

Just a guess, but I bet the answer is the 634s…

You know you want to create an IH version of my father in laws shirt…
With the dice...
And the cards...
And the chips...
And the martinis...
And the flames...
Pretty much sounds like a shirt from Dry Bones or RJB.

21oz flagship. It's on a number of jeans (634s, DC4001, B01, 461s)
That's compared to 18oz unsanforized, 21/23oz unsanforized, 25oz XHS sanforized, and cotton duck
21oz flagship sanforized in OD feels about the same for me
