G, those are incredible looking! I can't wait to get myself a pair!

[Giles]

Thanks Lando.  Just asked Haraki toi make me a load more.  They seem to have struch a chord…G

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)

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...

[Beatle]

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 ***

Yes but I think Seul, like me, was disappointed it wouldn't fade to blue BEFORE it finally fades to white. Well, we'll see how it looks in a month and from then on forward.

[Beatle]

but it does go from black to blue to gray to white  …high atari parts are already faded beyond the blue phase

[Guest]

Did you count the number of wears?

[Beatle]

13 weeks plus 4 days…95 days

[Guest]

Thanks! That's like two years for me. Of course, they'd get washed at least 3-4 times during that period so my overall fade would be more but the contrast less.

That explains the fade to white in high friction areas.

[Beatle]

which reminds me - any evo pics hiding in ur closet ?

[Guest]

My 9634Z have no evo. They are just getting softer which is nice. The 634SR look almost exactly like Stewarts. I suppose I have around 40 wears on them so far. Will take pics tomorrow.

I have a FH Type II jacket I wear on and off, but I'm getting nominal fades on it

I am posting this here on behalf of J Cosmo ASP:

These are about one year old.  I've worn them 4 days a week since sometime in late October, and washed them in cold water, inside-out on a short cycle each week, air-drying thereafter.  That usually takes three days, thus the 4 day schedule.  I wear pair #1 of the TWHR01s the other three.  They fit perfectly and make me happy everyday I have them on.  Thank you, Haraki San!

If you think you can or can't do something, you're right.

Tell Cosmo Thank You! Any front view shots? Knees or combs?

[Giles]

With a once a week wash, not sure that Cosmo is in pursuit on combs:
