@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?

[Oaktavia]

@Mr-Linz I'm not really sure, we will have to wait and see...I can't say I haven't been wondering the same question.

[Mr Linz]

@WhiskeySandwich @Oaktavia here some overdue photos.

[Mr Linz]

So hard to photograph as the camera sometimes makes the fades look too high contrast and sometimes flattens them...

[Oaktavia]

@Mr-Linz either way your shirt looks killer. You keeping count of days/washes?

[Mr Linz]

@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.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I think your's is looking kickass @Mr-Linz ! I think no matter what y'all do to these, they're only gonna get better. I just hit 110 wears on mine but I've been going light on it for the past few weeks. Might soak soon and throw up some pics when i do

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich damn 110 wears is more than I would have guessed. Your turn to post photos my dude!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia Yup, got it on 1 Sep, and have worn pretty much every day. Some of those lately I've counted but only worn it for an hour or so during the commute/walk. It's not much different from my last pic posted lol. whenever i get around to another wash, i'll def post some more.

@Mr-Linz HA: I knew it - for real men: washing is the new fading trend I certainly started on that train with my western version. Clear marbeling even after washing it inside out, 30C, short, no spin... including the dreaded straight long marks along the arms...

[WhiskeySandwich]

Ok yall had me going so here’s some pre-wash shots

[Mr Linz]

@Tobi Hahaha! You might be right! Although the straight long marks do scare me!

[Mr Linz]

@WhiskeySandwich Thank you mate!

[Mr Linz]

@WhiskeySandwich Sick photos update mate! Such a great shirt!

[WhiskeySandwich]

The sleeve lines are tough, I have em and I think the only way out is to wash. Doesn’t bother me a bit

[Mr Linz]

@WhiskeySandwich You mean just create shitloads of more lines? That beaten up on from the other thread was phenomenal!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Mr-Linz pretty much! I’m think they’ll get lost in the wash, we’ll see. This is def my riding shirt, so the more beat the better

[Mr Linz]

@WhiskeySandwich Very nice mate!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Crease lookin good! I did a hot soapy soak on mine today and forgot about it for a few hours. Came back to a completely black tub lol. Rinsed and hanging now. We’ll see what it looks like tomorrow when it’s dry
