Wow that's a nice blue

Speaking of blue, I'm just under three hours into the 666ers.. And I've got a denim line across the bottom of my gut. I also rode to work and evo'd a couple of patches onto my leather saddle.

These jawns are straight up mephistophelian

Wow, evilcrayon. I'm in awe. You make me feel so ashamed ! I lost patience and unnecessarily soaked my IH 301S today – after two months of continual wear. They weren't even that dirty...I didn't need to go there. I hate myself now. Thanks a lot, evilcrayon !

[Giles]

If the creases have set and little or no dye comes out a soak will do zero harm….G

I wouldn't worry about washing.  I've had bad luck with new jeans.  My flatheads took a spill off a scooter at 30mph within the first month and my ironhearts were no different.  I was riding a beat up CL175 to my friend's house at 11PM and managed to hit a fallen tree in the middle of the road (there are no streetlights on this 5 mile stretch of road).  Ended up bruising my knee but nothing more than a white spot on my jeans that is no longer visible.

And then my motorcycle threw a rod that following weekend and spewed dirty motorcycle oil all over my jeans.
