@WhiskeySandwich Looks awesome dude. It’s going to take me forever to fade mine, I’ve been wearing it as much as possible! But that’s fine, I’m in it for the long haul.
-
@travisxray thanks man. I’ve been slacking lately, only been wearing it as a shell over flannels and haven’t been outside much. So only a few hours a day. It’s kinda been repurposed as a riding and work jacket rather than something I keep on all day. Fantastic for those things though! Gonna keep holding out on washes though unless it’s really necessary.
-
@WhiskeySandwich Need to send some updates myself, but it feels like the transformation has slowed slightly... Have you found that? I'm still wearing everyday, but I think it'll take a lot longer for more dramatic fades.
-
@Mr-Linz Could be, might just be that relative to the existing evolution, new progress appears less significant. I've been wearing mine a bit less, but still daily. I find unevolved black/black denim to be a bit plain (like my new SBG 888's) but it doesn't take much to make it pop. But I really like the way this CPO looks now. It's reached that milestone where it looks well-loved but not close to worn-out. Would like to see some new pics tho!
-
@WhiskeySandwich Copy that! Will upload some more this week for sure then
Totally agree, I feel like mine has it a great spot where it's got clear fades but doesn't look ruined. I've got a custom SOSO CPO coming so I'll probably switch to that in a month or so and wear this bad boy less frequently to enjoy it more if that makes sense. -
Just went full-nerd on this thread and realized that we're only scratching the surface on this shirt..... check out around post 365 and later. JFC guys.

@WhiskeySandwich the photos of that shirt truly prove that marbling isn't a bad thing (and in my opinion, a good thing)!
Edit: kind of makes me want to treat it like any old shirt and wash/dry the crap outta it. I might wait until I see more defined fades on the combs beforehand...
-
@Oaktavia i was thinking exactly that. The marbling looks awesome on these. That's pretty much how I was thinking - get a bit of contrast then start ramping up the washing.

@WhiskeySandwich & @Oaktavia Totally agree! I saved some of those pics for reference a while back when I got my 361, looks awesome.
-
@WhiskeySandwich solid plan for the both of us!
-
@WhiskeySandwich Jesus fucking christ that marbling looks incredible!!!! Maybe I'll have to start machine washing this guy. That's so nice.
-
@Oaktavia @WhiskeySandwich do you reckon this could be achieved by just machine washing a handful of times over a couple of months. Or do you think this is years in the making?
-
@WhiskeySandwich @Oaktavia here some overdue photos.

@Oaktavia Thank you sir! I'm coming up to 4 months, haven't been counting the days, but it's been washed once and obviously soaked once to set in the creases when I first got it. It was continuously worn for 3 months, and slightly less over the holidays. So I'd say we're about 90 plus days of proper wear. Albeit my life style is nowhere near as rugged as most fellas on here, so that would look very different on someone else.
