IH-888-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut

[mpukas]

I've had similar bad experiences washing UHR denim, as well as cock-ups washing other brands' heavy weight denim. IMO, UHR doesn't wash well. UHR sheds indigo quicker than any other denim I've owned. The keys I've found for machine washing UHR, - well as any denim, really - is to turn it inside out and use the gentlest cycle posible. There will always be some spin between washing & rinsing cycles, so low spin has been ok for me. Creases are going to happen, it's just the nature of heavy denim + machine washing. Inside out avoids the creases abrading against the inside of the drum. I iron the creases out so they don't get weird fade lines with normal wearing. My 888NT's have about 8 months wear, 10+ washes with no signs of crease-fading. Lots of fading in high wear areas. Overall, lots of indigo loss and quite a bit of white marbling.

Not only are these jeans my favorite. But the patch looks pretty awesome too. I gave it a light coat of Wesco bee oil when I first got them and have done nothing else to it other than being sure I didn't let it soak under water for too long and only washing my jeans with cold water.

I’ve been wearing these 888-NTs (same jean, different patch) throughout winter. Here they are at around 10 months of wear. Lost track of the amount of washes:

Lovely pair (as the actress said to the bishop). I think I’ve asked this before but what is your washing routine?

I thought that was what the bishop said to the actress

Then you have no imagination [emoji1] Every actress appreciates a set of priestly ba…. never mind.

Thanks gents. Apart from the initial shrinking-to-fit, I washed these twice in my machine but got some streaking to show for it in spite of using a non-spin program. Handwashed them in a tub several times since, so no more streaking… but I just feel like they don’t clean up as much as they would from a machine wash...

These are my DWC at 1.5 years. I’ll take some proper pictures after the next wash! These will be heading to rain in a month or so. Any suggestions on what 888 denim to go with while they’re in for repair? These are 35s I was looking at the eco denim? Any experience or fade examples? a
