@swiss-jeansfreak i browsed through your IG looking for number 2 answer,no 1 well i'm bad at math.lol. browsing your pics reminded me again of the love for this 25oz.i've heard about how samurai fade fast although i've never experienced it myself,but this mbb is one tough bastard. well good thing about it is at least it will last me for long time and will always be in my wardrobe choice. I've just recently started to break in my IH-LHT 19oz which I don't intent to soak/wash in the beginning and i love so much of that indigo.looks so beautiful. so that was actually started dividing my loving attention to the MBB.but your IG gallery have rekindled my almost gone love for the MBB.
by the way, here's an update of my MBB. firstly is the wash challenge;
no gimmick, no special delicate care.
obenauf first!I do love that thick leather,too bad they're cracking up.
No specific setting, temp spin or etc.just wash them.This washing was done after I've worn the MBB on a very dirty/sweaty activities. I worn them during my shooting but now I'm limiting to only urban/city shooting. If those jeans could talk,they would shout out how stink and sticky my ass is when i sweat cause of the weather and also the thickness. :|
so last few weeks in august I was travelling to Borneo for a shoot, 2 different places with very contrasting weather. one is cool on a hill one is damn hot although near the river. I only wore the MBB during the travelling part,due to the fact if the jeans got wet,gonna weigh a ton on my legs and also drying them up before goin back is gonna be troublesome.
so first trip is Bario, in Sarawak. just to make things pleasant to read….some pics!
first time getting on a twin otter.damn scared,NOT because its under Malaysia Airlines. Word of advice,don't sit at the back.
landed safely. phew.
Me on shoot,luckily not wearing the MBB. its also gonna restrict my movement cause of the thickness and weight once i sweat
We hiked a lot at this place for an hour or so to get to the site to shoot.second trip is to Kapit also in Sarawak. This is a damn hot place. Being by the river makes you want to just sit in the river 24/7.
around 80k USD worth of equipment on this tiny boat!
This Tiny boat!
on the way back we used this boat to get to a transit point cause it was on the weekend and ferry was full.the river is around 2km wide,and barge, container ships pass through this river. so you can imagine the scared shitless of us when we realized we're taking this small boat to get to the transit point.well basically that was it. my august trip in the MBB.
hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as i did. -

Fanya I know you say it's your active lifestyle that leads to your fades. But what exactly is it you think that leads to the amazing fades. Being in the harness or just moving around a lot in the plane. Or is it the actual jumps [emoji4]
Maybe that question should go out to everyone? What do you do in your jeans which accounts for the most fades?
