AJ and AC 14oz Indigo/Indigo Denim Fade Off!

[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!!

Hope you got to see some of the rare wildlife during your trip (how could you not?)

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....

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.

Mine were enjoying the spring sunshine yesterday

@Giles oh wow, that would be hard for me to see, but then again, I've never left the states.

I just checked out the 18oz 666 thread to see what you were referring to. I really dig the way your pair turned out and it's cool to hear they were washed a lot. They are vintage fades with contrast at the same time- a killer combo.

@Giles but how else are you going break in the leathers on the boat other than conditioning them with indigo

[Giles]

Try telling P that
