    My advice is just live your life, wear the jeans as much as possible.  Fades will come in time.

              I would not sea wash them. I would be afraid of how the saltwater would affect the denim and all the metal and patch.
              I have only soaked my pair so far (4 times) .  No wash and no real attempt on cleaning them.
              I do however starting to get cracks between the honeycombs. I suspect I could have avoided that by washing them in a front loaded machine. Thinking that the agitation they get in a machine might be good in some ways.  I do not know. This is my first pair of "heavy weight" jeans.
              I am still experimenting.
              My plan was to keep on soaking them every once in a while  and then give them a 60 degree wash when they are one year.

              Just keep on wearing them and the fades will come in time. It is not a race.
              I think your pair looks great.
              Some fit pics would be wonderful.

              Nizzel -

              Thanks very much - yes I also have a "desk job" but try to wear these as much as possible and i love them. As you can see there are some nice fades happening at the top but looking through this forum I feel that I'm way behind. Perhaps wearing them in the ocean, or rolling around in dirt or something would help, if i wash them in the machine would that improve the contrast of the fades? Would love to know your thoughts!

                Hello guys.

                Just another wee update on how these are progressing. 9 months in. 4 or 5 washes. this denim really is something else, so beautiful and the tonal range is incredible!

                hope everyone's well

                                    I am not a fan of the cracking honeycombs. Anyone got any tips of how to avoid them.
                                    I have soaked them 5 times. Perhapps I have not agitated them enough during the soaks….?

                                    Anyone got any tips on how to repair them. I have tried with a needle and thread. Just to adding some stitches by hand to prevent the cracks to grow. I also used my mothers sewing machine at one point. Picked the wrong colour 🙂 and I was not very pleased by my results.

                                    anyway I am not sure it worked. Seems like new cracks are appearing after every soak.

                                    Click the pictures to see them in a bigger format.

                                    They are still wet in the pictures above. 248 days. 5 Soaks.

                                      I get cracks on many Jeans as well, don't do anything to them and have no problems that way. But I would not know how to prevent or fix it, sorry. The slimmer the cut, the more likely it seems to get these cracks, at least in my collection.

                                      @elclintor:

                                      > I don't care what people say.. The Max Power way is the right way…

                                        That looks like to me they were worn for too long without a decent first wash/soak.  This typically happens when there is too much stiffness/starch left in the jean when first wearing them.  Nothing you can do to retro fix I am afraid….

                                          Waited 124 days for the second soak. I think I was bad at agitating the jeans during the first two soaks.
