IH-555-03 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

@Jcaz6996 good man! The 33-IND seems to take forever then gives up quite quickly. I've got my overdyed CPO but that's hasn't faded anywhere near as much as my Lefty OD Type III, get's a lot less wear

[Jcaz6996]

Nice mate they look great .

I’ll try and wear the 33 all summer in work see how it goes.
292 cpo has faded so much quicker then my 293

fresh out the wash

[Dmart]

They look great!

[AdamJ]

@Dmart thanks! No idea how the patch has stayed in such good condition over the years, think I've had them about 4 years now

[Dmart]

No conditioning of the patch at all?

[AdamJ]

@Dmart nothing! Just wash at 30c consistently. From my experience, washing cold for the first few times and not shrinking/crinkling the leather causes it to firm up and I find it retains the detail nicely

[Dmart]

Good tip. I always condition them and have no issues so far.

@AdamJ Excellent work on those jeans!

[Oaktavia]

Black fades lookin fantastic

[AdamJ]

@goosehd @Oaktavia thanks guys! I like how the red 'W' pops once the grey kicks in!

Yes! That's one of my favorite aspects of a nicely faded pair.

[denim-dawg]

Eh op! Good fun reading about your denim tearing. These have been my favourite pair, and I have possibly wore them four times a week since I got them in Dec. 2021. Just the one soak. But now they need a good machine wash. 30 degrees as recommended by the Masters?

[Kasi]

I prefer these to SBG..

Different shades of grey

Glad brought one from last batch

[denim-dawg]

@Kasi How is your fading going?

@Kasi How is your fading going?

Just soak them, never got around to wearing them yet.
Am breaking the 777 25oz right now

[denim-dawg]

@Kasi nice. Enjoy the 25oz break in. I’ve still to try that next level stuff.

@denim-dawg
Don’t forget to soak them before they go in the machine ! And I would recommend to turn inside out.
30-40 degrees with no spin

[denim-dawg]

@Daniel-San soak them and then stuff them in the washing machine? I really appreciate the guidance, as my other IH have become too tight after wash.

[Daniel San]

@denim-dawg
yes correct, soak and make sure they are completely wet before you wash them in the machine. this helps preventing marbling and white lines. and inside out
