I am a little surprised myself there isn’t staining. Guess most of it ends up on my legs though. My UHR have got a few stains in places from the cement.

Putting work in on my 634SR - they are still pretty marbled, but all the time spent on flooring and decking have definitely started to fade the thighs and knees.. hoping to beat all the indigo out so that the marbling isn’t noticeable

I think the marbling looks pretty sweet.

@Oaktavia you had expressed an interest in the shift on my XHS so I made a short video. I gave them a hot wash so the creases are in an all new spot now. I am gonna go with it though because it seams like all the intersections will be awesome. Also it is cool that since the hot wash (and starch and steam iron) they are softer than they have ever been. The hand is crazy soft. They feel stiff and now somehow thicker too.

I'm probably going to buy another pair and remove the leather tag and hot wash them several times before I even wear them this time. I am trying to decide which of my holy grails I'm gonna sell to finance this new pair.

Woah that is wild dude it will look like stream ripples soon enough (or already). Do you machine wash or are you a hand/bucket/tub washer?

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Machine wash on heavy duty, hottest water possible. With a bunch of my dirty coveralls from work and 2 Hygenic clean Tide pods.

@Filthy:

I was experimenting with different kinds of light sources to try and capture the right color of these. This is a mix of an old incandescent bulb and an LED bulb at the same time.

No filter on these. I did use the Pro cam with these settings (so you can try it yourself on your pair).

Old vs older

I'm abusing a pair in a hot wash and the shrinkmaster. This is possibly my favorite patch so I removed it and will reattach it when the jeans are dry.

[henry_david]

Super smart move, @Filthy. What sorta thread are you using to re-attach it? How do you ensure that placement is in sorta the same place? Worrying about screwing up my patch on my XHS (it looks so good rn!!!) has kept me from washing them 

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Wow those look awesome! @henry_david

That's a great question. And thankfully there is an indentation on the back of the patch, so it should be easy to line up. And the patch is like 1 cm to the left of the belt loop next to it. Also I didn't remove and of the threads I cut from the jeans… so there should be some kind of marks there to use as a guide.

And, finally I'll be using this heavy gauge Gutterman ca02776  golden jeans thread to reattach it.

We can ship out a decent length of off-white poly-cotton yarn (which is what we use to fix patches on ourselves) with orders if you request…..

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Okay, that works too! Thanks Giles! I love you, man!
