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.

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

Did you count the number of wears?

Beatle

13 weeks plus 4 days…95 days

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.

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

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 posted the 634SR evo pics in the product forum.

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:

Beatle

that's a lot of washing going on at the cosmo residence…proofs that IH indigo lasts forever

Giles

Only 16 pairs to go Cosmo!!!!
