      No wardrobe is big enough for me the way I shop.

        Those are my 3rd pair ever from 2012.  One crotch repair and some self repairs on the chain stitching.  Going strong.  #phoenixthebuster

              My early days when I try beach fades with my buster back in 2013

              Getting them to fade faster

              Over time I have done all kinds of things to jeans

                How are people storing them?

                When I have my life together, they're folded in half on a sturdy hangar in my closet… in practice, they spend most of their time piled on the furniture in my bedroom. Doesn't seem to hurt them none.

                @Kasi did that actually work? Never heard of 'beach fades' before. I live near the ocean at the moment… could be worth a shot 🤔

                    As Giles said it not…

                    I didn’t bother again it was an experiment at the time..

                    Ever since then, I learn to wear the shit out of Jeans…

                    Give them hell.  That’s what Iron Heart stubborn jeans takes a beating

                      Check zero, got it. Where did the idea of beach-washes come from, anyway, if it’s such a bad idea? I looked it up last night and apparently it’s not uncommon practice.

                          I take it, then, that it’s also denimhead bro-science that you should wait 6 months before washing your jeans? I feel like I’m unlearning everything I thought I knew about jeans today 😂

                            Simple as that

                              Personally, I wait as long as possible before the first wash (unless they are raw, then I will wash/soak them before wearing), but what dictates when they get washed is when they look or smell dirty, not some fucked up notion of time perpetrated by the marketing department at XYZ jeans Co…...

                                        I mean I wear them all day every day. It's just that I'm a very sedentary person and I never exercise.
                                        That's why my wish for these pants is that they become like sweatpants that I never have to wash. The ultimate lounge pant…

                                        Unrelated but yesterday I had a nightmare about them. I cut them by mistake with a weed wacker in two places. Scary stuff.
                                        That should give you an idea of how much of my mind space is taken up worrying about these things.

                                          Two bits of advice:

                                          1. Learn how to wash them
                                          2. Wear the hell out of them

                                          Seriously, these aren't one of those jeans that have a over-inflated cost. They're expensive because they're seriously over-engineered. I think that the best looking pairs out there are worn by people who work hard in them.  The sooner you start using them to do things like work in the garden, roof your house, etc., the sooner the fades come.

                                          And I say this after years of being afraid to damage them just like you 🙂
