      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
