Nice @Oaktavia keep going

Is it still rigid

Thanks homie yeah it's still rigid but it's starting to soften become less rigid, especially after the dryer session.

Second soak

Water not the enemy

Scrubbed it down with a brush
Indigo on the bush
Water very greenish

Now sunbathing

@Mizmazzle

Thanks

[Kasi]

My conclusion for now is
I think it shrink more in warm water fits
more slimmer than before.
Still rigid

Patch looks more better now

Beast mode still active! Love the jacket! All the evo is so cool to see even the brush action from @Kasi can’t wait for the od version

[Kasi]

@Heavy_blue

I have the OD one too… will get to it when I got this one over and done with.

The brush trick is my oldest trick did that on my beetle buster back in 2014

@Kasi Mo after the wash the overall jacket looks like it’s lightened up . Mine looks really dark in comparison.

[Daniel San]

maybe that’s because of the brushing ?

[Jcaz6996]

Possibly or just better lighting when photographed. Don’t think I’ve taken pictures in ️

From my experience with denim
Over the years
These are my opinions

Soak or 🧼 wash when you want to. When it dirty not time by scale

I have learnt that doing this on a good hot day.

Where as the denim dry very quickly
While it sunbathe

I did this with my pronto jeans on a hot day. I was like wow. That’s how I learned this one

Washing and soaking on a cold day has a darker affect as in the colour is dull. So the heat has the opposite.

The brush is to use shake the indigo after this method I used after couple month not at the very first soak.

What i did over 4 months.

Soak it first before wearing it.
Let it air dry it self.

Just worn it for 4 months.
Yesterday was warm and hot.
So did a lukewarm soak. For 30 mins and brush it.

Now looking at the jacket, you thinking I wear it all the time.

I don’t, only working maximum of 4 hours Monday to Friday.

But then you need do some kind of activities to achieve.

I reckon I will do third soak in July or August on a very hot day

Using the same method as the second soak.

Washing am gonna hold off now.

Love how the indigo now really shows the texture of the denim. Really brings the jacket to life!!

After a few washes with mine, the dark darks are still there, just in fewer places. Overall it has lightened up after third wash and especially with the color-safe bleach.
