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

          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.

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

                  @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!

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

                        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 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.

                              @kantian that definitely helps. I’m at 48 wears now, I’ll probably give it a little while longer.

                                Coincidentally my first wash with mine was 48 wears.

                                      @Oaktavia I threw it in the wash. It was getting a little stinky and was getting that shiny look to it.

                                            @ZackB I think it just comes down to personal preference. Imo, there's really not a right or wrong way. I'll do a low-agitation soak every couple of months when it starts to stink or it's really dirty. Get all the grime, dirt, and dust out. When I feel all my creases are well broken-in and I'm getting fades along most of the edges I'll do heavy agitation wash. I usually end up with a tub full of blue water. After it's about 80% dry I'll put it on and wear till I dry. I love doing this. The denim molds to your body and your movements.
