    A place to post all of your “learning moments” in the denim journey. Thank you @RobeOfTheMagi for the excellent suggestion 🙂

      Fading jeans in the stand. A lot of bullshit online. Never again

      Fade with wear. Wearing them

        Here's my IHSH-330-BLK (such an underrated shirt if you mind me saying so!):

        Washed very hot and on high spin.

          @RobeOfTheMagi that's cool has hell!
          Reminds me of the almost vascular markings on the inner side of the Big Buck hides 🦌

            Just my two cents, but maybe tweak the name of this thread to put a more optimistic spin on these 'failures'?

            I know for one I've been upset and disheartened by these things in the past, and seeing a thread with a more positive title may help people feel better about such mishaps.

            Perhaps 'I messed up, a place for denim mistakes or; How I learned to stop worrying and love the Wabi-Sabi'

            Dr. Strangelove style 😆

                        Probably got away with it because it's SBG but I totally bollocksed up my IH-526J-SBG sample by not soaking it before washing.

                                  didn’t do shit.

                                  Wash them afterwards

                                  Waste of time.

                                      Yeah, something not to admit in the pub. Someone spilled a pint on my new-ish IH-555N during the World Cup, I had a sense of humour failure and complained "these natural indigo". What originally was sympathy from my mates quickly turned in to piss taking

                                        Freeze my jeans, sand bath my jeans, take them in the sea... don't think it did anything but I enjoyed the whole process 😆
