@kantian definitely coming along dude it looks fecking awesome especially in that soft golden lighting. Keep it wearing it, it's on a roll with the fades now.

@Oaktavia That soft golden sunlight is the best light, my friend.

Definitely plan on rocking this and the 101J-SR till summer. Should be enough time to make it really pop.

@Oaktavia @kantian looking awesome fellas.

Super bright out today but tried to get a few.

@Mister_Brue

Thank you, sir.

At the start, it's almost too beautiful. It was difficult for me to style. The deep blue denim with the tonal stitching. Idk, It had a formal vibe. Then you look at Oaks and it's pure vintage. Really cool stuff. It's been one of the funniest evos I've seen. You should definitely give yours some love.

@ZackB Those stacks are glorious, man. Even with the lighting you can tell it's coming along. The stacking on the sleeves of this jacket is so gnarly looking.

Have you washed it yet? I haven't washed mine but I'm debating it. The sleeve stacks seem to be setting in so I feel it might be time.

[ZackB]

@kantian yeah I agree the stacks form pretty quickly on this for sure. I haven’t washed or soaked mine yet and have 41 wears so far.

Here’s a few more with some less intense lighting.

A nice snowy background to bring out the fades. I washed this one again recently. So that makes three washes so far.

@Oaktavia some great pics there.

Thanks gents, I am more than happy with how it has evolved. Jackets and CPOs are my favorite type of denim cuts to fade. It never gets old.

@Oaktavia forever jealous of your fades mate!

[Oaktavia]

@Bailey just takes lots of wear, nothing too crazy besides wearing it in the summer. I don't miss that so much!

[ZackB]

@Oaktavia looks amazing man, looking forward to seeing more of it.

[Oaktavia]

@ZackB thanks man, I absolutely love this jacket. Definitely one of my favorites of all time. I would love another Type 1. There was a unsanforized indigo/indigo duck with contrast stitching that was before my time. I would love one of those too!

[kantian]

@Oaktavia This is looking so good, Oak. I like the fading along the front pleats.

[Oaktavia]

@kantian thanks dude, it has been a pleasure fading it. I am stoked to keep wearing it and see how it continues to evolve.

I've had low 20 temps and snow where I live so the 140 has taken a backseat to the 101j-SR. I manage to get a little wear in at home. I gave it a soak. I was going to wash it, but I tried a little agitation and it didn't want to give up any indigo so I figured a soak would do fine.

[ZackB]

@kantian how many wears did you have on yours before the soak?

[kantian]

@ZackB Tbh, I don't really keep track. I had planned on waiting till spring, but I didn't want the fading to be too high contrast, so when I noticed how quickly it fades I changed it up. If I had to guess, I would say around sixty actual wears with fifteen to twenty try-ons, but it could be over a hundred. Lol. I know that's not helpful. I'm wearing multiple jackets so they kind of meld together at this point.
