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.

Beatle

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

Giles

Only 16 pairs to go Cosmo!!!!

Isaak, did you turn them inside out before throwing them in the washer? What temp did you use? How long? Do you like how they have turned out? I cannot say I am a fan. In fact, I have to know what you did to these so I can avoid it myself! I don't mean to sound rude but when I think of Overdyed jeans fading evo, this is not what I think of. Thanks for any and all info!

PS - The pictures are fine!

Yeah… turned inside out, cold water with Woolite dark- regular wash cycle- hanged to dry. Can't remember how long I wore them before i washed them.

I don't like them( on a number of fronts), and will probably redye them eventually- with a permanent black. They seem to be evening out a bit though- a distribution of errors so to speak. They look really washed out it the pictures. They're still weird looking, but more black and blue in person.

Anyways- there's a warning for the washing machine aficionados contemplating overdyed stuff.
