        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  😎
