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

      “𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

        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'

                  @Kasi Did it do anything to the jeans or did just leave an itchy bottom?

                    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

                                            I have a pair of 888XHSib that I have thrown in the washer and dryer 7-8 (maybe more? I lost count) times. Anytime I had a load to wash, I just thew them in with what was dirty. These are my pair with paint on them from last summer. As an experiment, I wanted to see how what XHSib looked like washed the fuck out with vintagey style fades. I can post photos later when I get home if anyone is interested.
