      So… well, here is an example when you’ve forgotten to pre-soak before washing. Iam devastated 🥲

      What do you guys think?

        I think as you continue to wear it it will continue to fade and you won’t notice it.

        Just out of curiosity, why did you wash it in the first place? I’ve had a IJ-24 for about ten years and haven’t washed it once.

          Agree with @Matt. Continue wearing it and eventually will all blend in

            Yep thanks. I’ll hope so.

            Well, it needs a refresh after a long day wearing in the sun.

            Won’t happen again that I forget the pre-soak. Damn.

              @suitcaselife Is presoaking supposed to help prevent this?

                Heyho, jep. I guess it’s because the fibre will soften up with a presoak but I don’t know the magic behind it exactly 😃

                  I've only machine washed one iron heart denim item. It looked that same way lol. And I did a soak. It's the spin cycle mtl. Now I hand wash in a bin. Snap a few times and hand dry

                        @suitcaselife own it and make it yours. It’s all part of the journey. FWIW I was really gentle with my stuff in the beginning and only washed my clothes in the tub. Now I don’t care and wash and spin like all my other clothes

                          Thanks @Oaktavia and @Tago-Mago

                          You’re absolutely right. I will just continue to wear the jacket and hope that the difference will decrease over time.

                            @Go-For-Chill SBG is a notorious marbler if not carefully washed. If you soak it in the tub for about an hour you can avoid this. Reason is marbling comes from creases the get pressed into the denim when it’s spinning about in the machine. If the denim is completely saturated before putting in the machine you can largely avoid the creases leading to the marbling pattern. Fully saturated denim allows the denim to be uniformly twisted and creased and avoid the marbling.

                            In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                              @Mizmazzle So you soak it before every wash to avoid marbling, not just once when you first get the item?

                                @Go-For-Chill yup! I think after a couple years of hard wear and it’s super faded out you could probably forgo the soak at that point.

                                          out of curiosity, was this cut of the jacket that sold considered a success? I noticed it sold out pretty quick, could this mean a return to the older cut on some jackets?
                                          (I'm a big fan of the short jacket length and long sleeves personally)

                                            No, we will not be modifying the fit of our modified jackets in the future, but do have the unmodified pattern still in the arsenal
