              Is there any plans to do the Shinayaka denim in the SBG in future?

                  It’s a good shout though.

                    yeah thinking black tight jeans with a bit of stretch would be a popular option

                      Should shinyaka be soaked before wearing? I’ve worn mine less than ten times but wondering if I should get them wet now…

                        Makes no difference either way. You will gain nothing by it, so probably a pointless excercise.

                            Do you think black/black jeans look better with or without a cuff?

                            I know this is a deeply personal question but I'd like to hear everyone's opinion.

                                I rarely cuff anyway and certainly can’t recall having cuffed black jeans so take the following with a pinch of salt… I’d say no cuff because the reverse will be very similar to the face of the fabric, so I fail to see the point.

                                  I've always cuffed my black jeans, I like how it looks with the selvedge ID personally.

                                  I gave my 555S-SBG a shot over my Wesco's un-cuffed but they ended up looking ridiculous due to them being slim throughout and flaring out at the bottom  😠

                                    I don't cuff much, but black on black does look good cuffed imo. The selvedge really pops

                                      Considering giving the 805s there first wash soon as they're looking a bit grubby. I've got my excellent BoB patch on there which has a white background. Am I right in thinking removing the patch and re-attaching is the best way to avoid turning it blue, or will it be fine/any clever tricks?

                                        @LewisStonehouse I've been thinking about this all morning and while I'll admit this is completely speculation… I'd say that IH 21oz denim is the most colorfast denim I've seen and I would wager to say that the patch would be fine. Also I think a chemical reaction is required to bond the dye with the fibers... So I think it would be okay. Worst case you might get a yellowish green tint in the water. But I don't think that it would be noticable. Even so, you could always remove the patch and rewash it if necessary.
