@Oaktavia
what’s your opinion about washing ib bro ?
I think washing is the key for the ib to fade faster. when the ib denim is new it has a very smooth almost
silky surface and it takes quite long for the fading to start. After the first wash the surface got much rougher, like very fine sandpaper. And from that point on the ib starts fading very fast from my experience. -
@twin thanks man…only a matter of time though! Wearing mine today at work.
@Daniel San I agree with the washing. Especially after my 8th machine wash, the white fades really started to pop.
I soapy soaked mine in our tub first few times and hung dry it. The creases stay in place this way. After the creases start to fade more, I start to machine wash. I prefer machine washes because the shirt comes out cleaner than just a gentle tub soak.
Fair warning though, this one will marble and unwanted fade creases can pop up without careful timing. Remove before spin cycle, just like anything else. There was one wash scare that I had- I thought one of the sleeves had a white fade from shoulder to wrist but luckily I pulled it out just in time. Had it sat in the washer for five/ten more minutes it would have been noticeable.
