      @EJS:

      Has anyone ever machine washed a deck jacket? Just got 'blessed' by a pigeon queueing outside the super market..

      I have… got a little bit of pilling on the shell and the lining. The colour lightened a little (mine is khaki), but no serious issues.

            Newbie question here …. And maybe a silly one, but here goes:

            I bought my first UHF’s last season (love them all btw) and now I’m getting ready to store them away for the season.

            Do you folks just hang them in a closet or would you use garment bags to store these?

            Thanks.

                  I fold mine and stow them in a crate or hang them. Neither has ever caused issues.

                  Think it, be it.

                    I washed my 833S-142 jeans for the first time, and this is what the patch looks like. Is this normal? The blackening is a bit odd, not sure where that is coming from.

                    The wash was a machine wash on delicate cycle, 20C degrees, just the jeans inside out, no other items, small amount of detergent, no spin, line-dried in the shade.

                      @fadedandcrumpled the exact same thing has just happened to my 555-142S after their first wash, and I used an identical wash routine to you.. I was wondering about it because the patch on my SBG still looked perfect after the same first wash routine.

                        Indigo from the jeans. Not all cows are the the same, so the wabi sabi is variable…

                            @Giles That makes sense. And I'm guessing it means that it would be more visible on the thinner printed patches.

                            It will be interesting to see how it changes with subsequent washes. Will more indigo come into the patch, or will some of it wash out?

                              I think its likely to stay like that.

                                i always lube my patch up with some spiff-n-shine right before washing. Seems to help.
