To be honest, I tried doing the wears, washes, and soaks thing, but it just wasn’t the way I enjoyed wearing denim. I wear them, they get dirty or stink, and I wash them. It was really liberating not to care and just enjoy them for what they are.

I get everybody has their own thing and it’s great to see so many different approaches. I think @Giles once said, this place would be pretty boring if we all did the same thing…or something to that effect.

The same @goosehd . At the beginning of my denim career I thought it's al about the perfect fading results and to handle the jeans super carefully, soaking, hand wash, wear as long as possible without washing aso. I don't do that way anymore. Wear and wash when necessary, I now hate the smell of stinky denim especially in the warmer months .

And I think of the forum as a microcosm of the world.

It has good days and bad days
It has funny people and really boring people
People who don't listen and people who do
People who give a fuck and people who don't
People of lots of nationalities
People of all sorts of sexual persuasion's
People of many religions
And I could go on and on and one....

I like to use the wear/wash numbers to help me measure someone else's and my own fade results. I understand it better that way and how different denim fades in their own unique ways. Over the years I've been here I have always done this. I think it helps my scatterbrain make more sense of this denim game. I do not see myself stopping either. I appreciate all y'all in many ways and love to hear these types of topics discussed.

@louisbosco incredible, you motivate me to continue on with my pair.

@Oaktavia I used to do it when I first got into raw denim. but at some point I forgot or lost track of the days of wear/ washes etc. also, nowadays, I wash it quite frequently so the less I'll remember. I don't want my head to hurt from thinking too hard hahaha

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco I just like the data

Coming along quite nicely.

@Axel-HH yeah dude they look fantastic. This denim looks like it takes particularly well to washing. Do you find this to be the case in your experience?

[Axel HH]

@Oaktavia Thanks mate. Yes, absolutely. The fades really popped after the first wash. The lighter, more-blue-ish shade of the indigo kind of encourages you to wash more frequently…

[Oaktavia]

@Axel-HH cool yeah, that sounds absolutely right! Awesome fades dude.

I took a year off from these last year to start fading my 822’s but I think I’ll put these back into the rotation soon. Love the UHR denim!
