@LawDawgLSU won't be till next year. They are on our list of things to re-run

I have had a marbling nightmare on my SBGs - see photo.  100 wears in and after some work in the garden, (somehow) I washed them without turning inside out, etc.

Any hints how to save my SBGs?

Wear ‘em some more! Those marbles will ahem fade into the background with more wear. You could also just wash them a few more times and go for a good ole washed Levi’s look

Roughly 70 full days wear, office based mainly so no hard labour, but developing nicely nonetheless.

Been rained on a few times but feel no need to wash them anytime soon.

Great purchase, love 'em!

The time has come for a wash after an unfortunate incident with some tomato ketchup this morning…

To avoid marbling, I plan to wash inside-out at 30c on a low spin cycle.

Is there anything else I can do to reduce the risk of this? I don't normally baby my jeans but I've read that this SBG denim is prone to unpredictability when washing...

@T4920 Presoak the jeans inside out in the bath or shower (only need to get them throughly wet) before putting in the wash.  Additionally, I always wash my SBG or ducks with a no spin wash cycle.  They will come out of the wash dripping wet, but it is worth the hassle.  Lastly, do not turn them right side out until completely air dried.

How long do you recommend soaking them for? And in warm or cold water?

Cold water and it really doesn't have to be long at all.  Soak long enough to get the jeans thoroughly saturated then transport them to the washing machine dripping wet.

Cheers! Let's see how this goes…

Amazed how much black these shed in the wash.

Pre-soaked, 30c wash, no spin.

Slight marbling, but all part of the wabi-sabi baby [emoji1365][emoji3590]

Roughly 100 days wear.

Excuse the shitty quality and the mess in the background, but I just wanted to acknowledge how much I love the 666 cut… They feel so roomy and unrestrictive, but somehow maintain such a sharp and fitted silhouette on my body type.

I wanted to try all of the IH cuts in time, but starting to think I shouldn't mess with a good thing....

I'd say these have officially faded to grey after 6 months and two washes.

Love the contrast between them and my new OD Lefty!

looks great !
start beeing a sbg fan

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 bro!! Looking sharp!! That new lefty OD is looking great with those SBGs. You are like future me haha. Soon as those new Lefty truckers drop I’ll be pairing it with my new 888 SBGs!!!

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle Awesome, did you get the 888s from the Filthy Gift thread?

You're gonna love the Lefty Trucker. It does fit extremely slim though, so size up if you're between sizes.

I'm 182cm and 81kg and you can see my fit pic on the product page. It fits like a glove but damnnn I couldn't have fit into an L (which is my normal IH size)

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 i found a pair of 888s basically new on Grailed. They’re off in Gosport being hemmed at the moment. Can’t wait to get to work on them!

Good info on te lefty. By all accounts that batch was a slim one. Wonder how the next one comes out…

[gusg]

Hoping these will get a restock/rerun soon! Been calling my name lately and I can’t find a 34 anywhere

[Daniel San]

Lucky me , I have one on stock

[JunkPants]

Nice, dig that patch as well.
