Everyone’s is looking great each on their own journey

@Oaktavia is leading the way for sure
Mate looking at yours is the marbly look how the denim develops or is it from washing?

They both look amazing.

I still have a Brand new 295 from the first Run I haven’t even worn still has the tags on …
Yours looks

@Jcaz6996 well I have had a 10 month head start but yeah that marble pattern has been from washing despite soaking thoroughly in a utility sink beforehand each time. It seems indigo/black is more susceptible to this. Also black/black seems to marble easily too, my 295bb and XHSbb marbled with washing. Does not happen to my 293 for example with same washing process. I think marbling adds character and a vintage element to combine with contrasting fades. Vintage plus contrast is my sweet spot. Here are my notes from my wear/wash chart for the 409:

5 machine washes:
25-machine
46- machine
69- machine
116- machine
~134 machine

Today is wear number 143 to a pool party this afternoon. The 295ib is an amazing fader and has more range of contrast than the 409 from what I have observed, especially in person. But 409 takes the crown for heft.

Edit: so if you are trying to avoid marbling or wherever y'alls opinions are of it, I would avoid a machine washer. I prefer the machine because it gets my denim clean. I don't really count soaks or soapy soaks as "washes" but to each their own.

[Jcaz6996]

Got you
I prefer a machine wash for the same reasons.
I’ve only washed my 555s -SBG once in the machine and luckily enough No marbling with them . Hopefully when I decide to give this a wash it has the same outcome.

My home washing machine has an impeller instead of an agitator,and I got tired of it messing up my IH gear with marbling and other inconsistencies. Decided to try taking my IH gear to a local laundromat where they have big front loaders,and for me that was a total game changer. Clothes come out really clean,with no unusual washing machine streaks,marbeling etc. Currently using Woolite Dark with cold water.

[goosehd]

Brings up a good point about marbling: Are you guys using top or front loaders washing machines?

[Jett129]

@goosehd The other caveat to taking my IH gear to a laundromat,is the looks,head shaking,eye rolling I get from my wife,as it just adds one more level to my IH/Denim obsession.
