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.

@goosehd don’t go down the thrifty road now 🫣

[goosehd]

@Heavy_blue Sorry, but don’t understand…

[Oaktavia]

The washer in my house is a front loader. One of those eco washers I forget what it's called. I can check when I get home.

@goosehd i see you move things now and then because people are thread thrifting, for example on the IH 21oz caps the other day which is good cause you’re a mod and move things where they belong but i don’t think it’s a good idea out of my perspective that you thread thrift yourself about which washing machine people have in this thread. Luckily we’re people and no robots but just a heads up

[goosehd]

@Heavy_blue Thank you for the explanation and I see the reason. Bit of a translation error in that drifting is when something veers off course, thrifting is going shopping at a thrift store, garage sale, etc.

Yes I did do a set up for a drift…apologies to all.

[Tago Mago]

@Heavy_blue for what it's worth, I agree with @goosehd that unrelated chatter should be kept to a minimum in the buying/selling threads for the sake of clarity and conciseness, and I would have moved the posts if he hadn't beaten me to it.

In the more general product threads such as this one a discussion on wear & tear as well as product care is beneficial for all forum users. Discussing the type of washing machine seems within reason to me.

And if a discussion does wander off-topic @goosehd and I are always happy to split that discussion off into a separate thread upon reminding, if we haven't done so already.

BTT: love the pics @Heavy_blue. Great to see how this beauty evolves differently for everyone
