    An impromptu second wash will have to happen. Anchovy oil for the fail.....

              Unless of course you just did this to get Tiger to pay more attention to you.

                @SamD described mine as "velvetty" today, so not quite the hardcore fades I was hoping for just yet it seems

                      @Giles those look super nice already. You use a machine to wash your denim, correct? Soak first, inside out, no spin, hang dry?

                          I now want these jeans I had no interest in 3 months ago!

                            I am trying to pretend I do not also feel the same way.

                              @Oaktavia @T4920 it's a great denim. @AdamC @Giles have both done great work on their pairs. Can't imagine how they're going to look after another 6 months wear!

                              I definitely wouldn't mind seeing this denim get the shirt/jacket treatment

                                  @AdamJ You want to borrow it 🙂 ?

                                  @Oaktavia - My regime. When they look or feel dirty or smell, then I wash them. I soak and agitate them a lot right-side out in hot water with a couple of squirts of washing up liquid added (it's what happens to be next to the sink in the utility room). I then turn them inside out and put them in the washing machine with whatever one of these is lying around:

                                  image.png

                                  The machine is set to 30 or 40 degree C with the shortest wash cycle that our machine allows. I spin them at 300 or 400rpm, but never spin on the first wash though, too much-associated risk), then I drip dry, or if in a rush, stick them on a radiator...

                                        @Giles cool thanks, that's what I do minus the right-side-out soak with agitation using hot water and washing up liquid...makes sense to do that and I thought about doing so last time I washed a pair. I'll add that to my regime.
