        My TWHR01 are about a year old now, and need a little bit of a rebuild by the master.  Just going to give them a wash and ship them out to Hachioji.  These are the before pics, when I get them back I'll post the after pics:

        And this is a tiny hole on the left knee, but it'll get bigger and fail if I don't get it sorted

            TWHR01.

            So they're washed and ready to be shipped - they didn't really need a wash - but I thought it would be rude to send them for repairs unwashed.  So this is 12 months of wear, I would reckon worn about 70% of the time.  1 soak and 4 washes:

              Those look really nice. What strikes me are the cuff tears. I get those only in the back but not in the front. But all my jeans where I had that are only 11-12oz, maybe that plays a role.

                  Nope, I get cuff tears on my IH 634S and 1534. I manage to do that because I pound the pavement walking and walking, sometimes 15 miles per day (on the weekends).

                                I was actually just about to ask you how you planned on washing them.  A spoonful of soap huh?  What kind?

                                        Beats, is it just me or are your jeans fading from black to white? I thought they were supposed to fade from black to blue to white?

                                        This weekend will be my first weekend home in over a month. With a little luck I will be able to post up pics of my SEXIH07 indigo's after 3-4 months of wear (and a lot of travel) and my IH messenger bag with 7 months of use (1 soapy soak)

                                        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                          Yep they fade to white apparently… Not stoked on that... Some areas are more blue, though... In the long run, it'll be blue, I guess/ hope...

                                            different light will bring out different shades of blue or grey …
                                            and Seul - every denim that is rope dyed will fade to white - the original core color of the cotton threads.

                                            You just actually made me very happy by pointing that out - cause the biggest question with overdyed is whether or not it "penetrates" the yarn all the way through to the actual core and thus won´t give u high contrast fades. I am delighted to know that this isn´t the case ***
