      30ish days no water
      2 days in Houston and they feel like they’re gonna slide off and walk away on their own. Cold wash when i get home.

      My advice for first time washing of SBG would be to soak for about 45-60 Minutes in the tub and then machine was after they are good and soaked.  The SBG marks like crazy in the machine - just my 2cents

        I thought as long as they were inside out I’d be OK,but sadly not the case.

          A little over 1 month in my TCB 50's (evening & weekend wear), just after a machine wash/dry.  Fading is minimal so far but the texture is really starting to pop after the wash.

              Post 1st wash. Inside out 10 min soak and rub down in woolite dark.  Rinse a couple of times in clean water. Right side out and hang dry. No marks. A few wear marks for knife wallet knee bend starting to show. Need to oil patch.

              Hoping they didnt shrink so much i have to change entry for the competition. 😕

                Patch after 1st Obenaufs treatment.

                I decided the darker leather patina would be well suited for these while dark and once they fade.  VS the lighter natural that Bick4 maintains.

                  Beginning to think it was a bad idea to join the contest while caring for a cardiac baby. 2nd time my daughter puked milk all over me. (Yes, it's milk and formula). I guess this will be a "wear often, wash often" pair..

                      She's on an NG Tube. Trying to avoid the G tube as much as possible, one of my wife's family's baby son had a bad experience with one of those.

                        Yeah, g-tubes are a mixed bag.  Our experience was pretty good.

                        Realistically, both are pretty shitty, though.

                                888-UHR after about a month of wear. One soak, two washes without soap to shrink them, one with soap because they got mucked up working in the yard.

                                Works on my machine.

                                  ^ Looking very promising. Early UHR fades are glorious.

                                      Yeah they do look great! My 666-UHRs aren't losing indigo that fast, but I've only soaked them once during the initial soak…

                                      For those who are more knowledgeable than I, being the raw denim rookie that I am, do they fade faster after washes, on average?

                                        i can't comment if the uhr's lose indigo fast. didn't feel that fast to me.. but i know that you'd see more of a contrast after the first few washes. before the washes, it's pretty much "friction indigo loss" but after you wash it, the rest of it starts losing indigo..

                                        anyway just a few little snaps.. not much at the moment, creases starting to set. it's a lighter pair, so i'd probably have to be a little more patient..

                                          I would honestly advise just don’t force it. I soak mine with detergent monthly to keep them fresh and will throw them through a full machine wash once every few months. It will happen at its own pace, which is the natural beauty of fading jeans  😎
