        Don't be too sore about it Graeme. Faster wear isn't really worth a crappy job! 😃

        Actually I was thinking that there's the equivalent of dog years when it comes to your jeans. 😃

        Mine will probably take six months to look like yours do now.

                              Are they rope dyed or hank dyed?

                                To introduce myself:

                                I am interested in denim and vintage clothing, which I also collect. In Germany are only very limited options cause denim was established in europe only in the 50s.

                                I have deliberately chosen this model although i know that it will not fade with the same strong (high) contrast as a dark blue one. The reason why i ve chosen these is that this jeans shows the highest standards in denim manufacturing.

                                An interesting feature of this model is that the warp thread (2.5 mm) (weft 3 mm) was dipped by hand about 20 times in one skein, which creates consciously a slightly irregular color structure.

                                The jeans were bought in Berlin at DC4 japanese denim store.

                                I was wearing them while soaking (March 18, 2013) and dipped them dry to get a large number of foldings (combs) from the beginning.
                                So far I had worn them about 50 days.

                                  Are they rope dyed or hank dyed?

                                  He is not often in this forum but i try to answer for him. It is this denim:

                                  http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/2nd/item/sj-s5000ai24oz/

                                  He bought it from DC4. I guess it isn't rope dyed although i couldn't find out how it's done technicaly. All I find is this:

                                  "Dyeing: A dyeing method of 職人技 repeating that I let the original goods dyed deep blue can touch an increase, air when you soak gyve (you lend) which bundled up a thread in an indigo dye vat and attach a natural indigo plant to a thread and oxidize 20 several times. THE GYVE IRREGULARITY (IRREGULARITY OF THE OXIDATION) CHARACTERIZING THE GYVE DYEING IS A FLAVOUR PECULIAR TO INDIGO DYEING NOT TO BE POSSIBLE TO INDIGO DENIM BY THE ROPE DYEING.
                                  *The dyeing irregularity, please enjoy the taste as personality of natural goods dyed deep blue."

                                  But you should know it better!;)

                                    yeah, I "should" 😃
                                    Usually AI denim is hank dyed but sometimes you will find rope dyed ones, which will fade like other rope dyed denim. My question was more in that direction: for a denim fading contest, why you would take a hank dyed denim. it wouldn't be my choice 😉

                                      But it looks different than your 24 oz denim right?
