      These have been my daily wear for the last few months since I got them in December last year. I however notice that if I get a fleck, it is harder to get it out. This obviously is a characteristic of the black color itself where the dirt shows prominently, but how do you guys deal with this? I do not want to throw it for a soak or a wash until the first 6 months, but it is starting to get dirty and is not helping to be worn in an office environment!

        Wash your jeans when they are dirty.

          Like @Alex is saying throw them in for a soak or wash when they’re dirty. The first stint i try to make as long as possible, but human possible.. to set the creases and whiskers after that wash when they’re dirty also for the long run it’s the best for the corton fibers

            @the246guy If you haven't done so already, you could try some spot cleaning with a damp/wet cloth. I've had some success with that with SBG pairs.
            That said, at some point (which always seems to vary) it's simply time for a wash.
            Not to mention people seem to have very different ideas/tolerances for when that point is reached 😀 From clean freaks to slobs.

            I'm doing the Indigo Invitational with some SBGs and currently at 60+ wears. Have done a little bit of spot cleaning (dirty rain/snow splashes, a toothpaste incident etc.), but no washes at this point.

              I tried spot cleaning, but it started to take off some black color away, so I stopped doing it.

                @the246guy that's quite normal since you're rubbing a bit of the black dye away.. just wash 🙂

                  Hi guys- existing forum member with a new account here.

                  Just wanted to share the progress on my sbg’s so far. These have 2 months of daily wear on them. Fades are difficult to capture on camera but they’re definitely there. Definitely faster-fading than any of my previously worn 25oz’s.

                  Not quite sure what’s going on the butt area. Don’t know if it’s fades, sweat stains, and/or both lol. But yeah, enjoying them a lot so far!

                    @kt Same thing happened on all my pairs. Seat fades not uncommon, and the inner thigh was the first thing to go on my 555S-SBGs. Must be a sign I am sitting down too much 😂

                    The devil is in the detail..

                      So you basically need a pair of IH denim to tell us what we do the most which is @AdamJ's case, sitting!

                            Will a hot soak be able to shrink these a bit? Lost some weight and they're a little big on me now.

                              @kt Probably not: Sanforized and one-washed - little to no shrinkage to be expected

                              Depending on what needs done, you may be able to slightly alter them. Just a thought.

                                @kt upload a picture otherwise on how they fit you now.

                                They’re one washed and sanforized indeed but you can try to wash them hot like on 50c or 60c beware to put the denim inside out, soak it with the showerhead and wash it on a short cycle without spinning. Shake them nice and firm when they’ll get out and hang them to dry. Flip them when they’re dry and don’t wear them damp cause then they’ll stretch easier. Also there’s a possibility that the waist will stretch back eitherway but it’s worth a shot. Some even throw them in the dryer but i wouldn’t do that with a SBG, BB or IB denim.

                                    Yep! Turn them inside out and SOAK them with the showerhead untill there’s no more dry spot to be found. Fully wet and them throw them in and don’t FORGET to cancel the SPINNING
