Learning moments in my denim journey

[T4920]

@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'

It's good job that I didn't start this thread......

[RobeOfTheMagi]

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

[AdamJ]

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.

Practice what you preach and all that

[T4920]

[Giles]

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

[T4920]

@Kasi I did all that rubbish around 2010 ahaha...
Freeze my jeans, sand bath my jeans, take them in the sea... don't think it did anything but I enjoyed the whole process

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@AdamJ Couldn't you explain that the next wash was only due in six months time?

Me 2.. just bullshit on the internet’s

My experience wear fuck of it and earn the fades

[Oaktavia]

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.
