IH-2527J - Brown Cotton Duck Riders Jacket

Those abrasions can happen due to the stiffness of the material. Rubbing against the drum. Inside out washing is always a good idea. Regardless - I feel for you ..but I would still wear it and fade the rest till it gets as light

The material was nice and soft by the time I washed it, and it was flipped inside out
I used a top loading washer, cold water, a couple tablespoons of Woolite Dark, gentle cycle, inside out, and even presoaked it in water first to get it wet and soft first before the agitator started
I'll post up more pics shortly

I still cannot believe you put that in the washing machine… I hope you do not ever use that thing again with any of your denim!

I have not had a chance to speak to DougNg about this. But I sent the images to Haraki. This is his response (through Ayumi):
"That looks like a fade when you machine wash without letting material wet enough.
Haraki San can ask factory to overdye the jacket but dyeing in same brown colour is impossible. Black is possible, but you will get fade slightly during dyeing process anyway. Harakisan has a sample in almost same dye so he will send you the photo upon his return to Tokyo(in Okayama now). If he likes the result, Haraki san can overdye the jacket for him. " -
Damn, Haraki-San never ceases to impress me. He's all out for customer-service. He takes it personally when shit goes wrong with his products…Haraki is one in a million !
quoted for truth..hell of a customer service ***

Wow what an offer from "The Boss" himself! I would just send it in and trust that it is going to come out better than it looks now. The overdye weather it is Brown or Black, sounds great! I would go for it bu am interested to see the flicks as well. Good luck with it. I wouldn't worry too much now…

In retrospect, it's probably my washing machine. I'm just pissed off with myself that I let this happen. I've put other denim in there, but I think it has to do with the extra stiffness of the fabric that's messing it up. I did actually presoak the jacket before tossing it into the machine, so it was plenty wet.

Bad news people. The last 2 of these that I had, sold yesterday. G
It would have only been bad news if one of those had been a L or XL, otherwise I am glad to see them done and gone! At least this way I know that there is no possibility of the S or M growing into a size that would work for me. THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY….....
