I am getting obsessive I know, if it annoys anyone let me know and I'll seek help. However being as everything is still pretty well snowed in, and I have the family close I might as well enjoy it. The Mrs snapped some solid shots this morning and I thought I would share.

Chillin with Allie

Friction is fade tastic….666 in action

[derivative666]

No worries JDL we LOVE photos!!!

[Seul]

Yes we do… And once again I wanna add that this denim is just fucking unreal once it starts fading...

[jdl1279]

Thanks fellas, was a bit surprised to see some contrast in my combs started already. Nothing I could get a pic of, but definite shade variances. I was also surprised by how quickly I have gotten comfy in them, they chewed on me for a couple days, but now it's like a soft gumming, almost massage like

[Seul]

Oooh yeah - another lad's hooked… 

[jdl1279]

Seul,

You guys have me noticing details in old gear I hadn't before. Addiction rarely breeds education, but if that's what it is…..

[ropeadope]

My cuff has gotten some indigo on it, any way to get it out? will washing the cuffs, or scrubbing it remove it?

Seuls right, when it starts fading, its a really nice experience!

[Giles]

My cuff of what?

[ropeadope]

Well, the cuff/flip of the jeans, the weft..

[Boit]

^ no way. besides, indigo stains should always be admired. Shit, except if its on that white couch.

[superfuzz]

You really care about indigo on the cuff of your jeans?

[seanocono]

No worries, ropeadope. As you've probably discovered already, we're a pretty obsessive lot on this forum.

If they are bothering you immensely, you could try to scrub it out with soap and water. As hard as it may sound, though, I would try to look at it as a good thing.

I remember the first time I experienced massive leg twist on a pair of unsanforized jeans. I was trying to twist that shit back every minute or two. It was driving me crazy. Eventually, I just accepted it and it stopped bothering me.

Now I kind of like it. Adds character, as they say. Embrace the evolution, my friend.

@ropeadope:

I'm still not understanding what the issue is, can you post pic?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I guess he's talking about this problem: if you have worn a pair of jeans and turn them inside out, you will also see the blue wearing marks. Kinda like a negative image. Especially at the combs and whiskers. But this can also be visible at the cuff as the indigo from the warp threads rubs onto the weft.

I might be totally wrong though

[Friday]

maybe like this..?  which is to me, not a problem at all.

[Bums_Fan]

Might as well keep speculating on what ropeadope is talking about.  I think Friday and beautiful_FrEaK have got it.  And if he changes the amount of cuff (1.5", 2", etc.) you see the lines of indigo where the cuff was before.  That's my guess…
