Wouldn't cycling in the jeans help those fades out? C'mon man, eyes on the prize!

[Giles]

On 7th May we go and pick SAKURA up. We will be commissioning her and then sailing her back to The UK from Menorca. That will be a total of 4-5 weeks.... The soft furnishings are a beautiful Mediterranean off-white, @Madame-Buttonfly has forbidden me to sit on them in anything indigo. I am completely fucked.....I have even thought about getting one of the directors reupholstered in a dark fabric.......

[Oaktavia]

@Giles dang dude those looks amazing for what, just over one month? The heck is goin' on here.

[Giles]

I just do what I do. I live my life and wear the jeans. Nothing more :man-shrugging:

I did wash them a little earlier than I normally would for the first wash (30C and 400rpm spin), but they had picked up some nastiness in Madagascar....So did most of us

[Oaktavia]

@Giles nicely put and just goes to show that early washes do not disrupt early fades. Pretty cool your pair has already spent some time in Madagascar. Hope you got to see some of the rare wildlife during your trip (how could you not?)

[Salted Racer]

@Kasi Yeah, there has been a couple of Giles' fades that have pushed me over the edge to purchase, for example, the 18 oz vintage he wore to perfection. @AdamC my hats off to you for going up against him!!

Because I spent from 06:30 to 18:00 out at sea on a boat

Saw a shit load of marine life, but nothing on land.

I did see the most squalid poverty I have ever seen (and I have been to a lot of bad places), it would have been pretty depressing but for the fact that I did not see a single child without the broadest grin on their face - even if they were digging through stinking refuse heaps with only a stick to help them....

for example, the 18 oz vintage

Interestingly enough, I decided that with the 18oz vintage that I would wash them a lot (a LOT more than I normally do, even when I did not think they actually needed it), and the results were lovely

[Salted Racer]

@Giles That's a truly vintage approach in every way then, as folks 'back-in-the-day' cared not for high contrast fades and just washed their clothes plenty. I was told several times when I was first getting into raw denim that washing often is essentially a mistake--certainly not the case here. Safe travels and look forward to more of your and Adam's fades on these as I just picked up a pair of this denim.
