          @Pipeboss713 hell yeah man. How many days are you in (if you keep tally)? I am at 17 due to mainly wearing the 19oz CPO sample mostly. Still seeing significant evo rapidly.

              crosspost! because this is the same thing as my 362:
              Request for pics!!! I'm wondering if anyone's been regularly washing their 16oz... I've been keeping mine pretty nasty with daily wear since this dropped and only one soapy soak after camping out. I'm curious how soft this will get and how much it'll lighten. My wife keeps calling this one my "cardboard jacket" and refuses to wear it, opting instead for a UHF lol. I'm holding out as long as possible for sharp fades before picking up a washing routine.

                @WhiskeySandwich some marbling going on after 1 wash (inside out..pre soak..no spin). I am not going to baby this beast, so curious where this is going 🙂

                  I think it's a question of "tension" of the twill (a bit like in the 526L Lefty indigo). It will soften but it will take a long time.

                    @Tobi nice to hear you won't be babying yours! I love to see the process of both holding out on washing like @WhiskeySandwich and the opposite. It's fun to do that with different shirts too to add to the variety and being able to baby some shirts and go hard af on others. It makes less pressure to have crispy fades compared to vintagey fades. Some come faster and less time consuming than others...my two cents thrown out there.

                      Nice @Tobi . I'm not opposed to marbling. I also agree this beast doesn't need to be babied. It will all end up displaying the character of it's wearer eventually. I just like seeing how the same items evolve in the hands of other characters! I love seeing pieces that have been washed a billion times compared to those seldom washed. The results are always cool no matter what the process.

                          We're in the same headspace. I plan on babying mine too and holding off on machine washing for as long as I can stand it. The only thing in my way (so to speak) is the 19oz CPO Sample I have been wearing religiously. I'm only at 17 wears with my SBG but do plan to wear it tomorrow.

                            @Oaktavia hell yeah. Well I completely understand the focus on the 19oz IB, that sucker is epic. Don't matter how long it takes, I'm enjoying seeing both evolve.

                                @WhiskeySandwich I own a very heavily worn and washed second hand IHSH-08 that I bought off the forum a few years ago. Basically, an earlier version of this shirt, as in same weight, super tight weave--except that my version is non-fade. So the color is still black, but the stiffness hasn't gone. Still a cardboard shirt! I'm wearing it right now.

                                      @WhiskeySandwich @Oaktavia Some pics of my IHSH-08, which must be over ten years old...

                                      It's a non-fade 16 oz black denim, though there is some light marbling on the back:

                                        Because of the non-fade denim it's hard to see how hard this has been worn (though not by me), though there is clear fraying on the placket and cuffs:

                                            @Lowlander wow, that thing is holding up amazingly well for 10 years old. I can only imagine the fades if it were SBG after that long. After having worn this 361 for what...42 days nonstop, it's totally become comfortable even though it is still pretty rigid. It moves with me, as I'm sure yours does, but it does still look pretty rigid.

                                            Now I need to air it out because it's starting to smell like fried chicken. Maybe time for another soapy soak soon.
