80 days just one soapy soak. Finally starting to see fades develop. Going to try to get to 100 wears before a machine wash. That first wash will be glorious.

Yup

@hoppy_IPA yeah man can't beat the price it is big time bang for your buck. I've had more expensive knives in the past and it functions as essentially the same tool.

Day 95 no washes one soapy soak.

This is the motivation I need.

These jeans stink so bad. I can't take it anymore at 98 days. I wanted to make it to 100 days but I am getting a tattoo on my thigh tomorrow and won't be wearing dirty jeans over a new tattoo anyway. Plus it's 90+ outside the next few days. It just seems obvious that it is time. Longest I've never gone this long without a proper machine wash. Interestingly enough, at nearly 100 wears, these are absolutely the slowest faders I have worn. They're in the machine now. Dried photos in a few days.

[Oaktavia]

Some detail shots from this morning. Still quite dark and stubbornly holding onto the ink. 100 wears today.

@Oaktavia it just gets better every time. The fabric just keeps on giving.

@Karol yuo first wash seemed to pick up the momentum.
