IHE-37-BLK - 21oz Denim Waist Bag - Superblack Non-Fade

Thanks @jimcord, I do appreciate your clarification.
The bag has been everywhere with me for almost two years now, daily. It's been well loved. My initial disappointment in the result was based upon an incorrect assumption that it was dirt, with the expectation that it could be cleaned, just like a dirty pair of jeans. Now that I know what happened, there's no more disappointment.

@pechelman I’m personally very thankful for this little saga as I also had no idea that the SB sun bleached like this.. your bag looks awesome too by the way.
A quick question for @giles would the 12oz Johnny Cash shirt end up similar to this if left out in the sun enough?
-
@DeeDee85 a few posts up @Giles says it'd go brown. not sure if he was joking or it's referring to a different fabric. Interesting to see the saga @pechelman has been on.

The superblack vest is the same fabric as the IHE-37-BLK, so it will go brown if subject to direct sunlight for long enough. There are loads of different versions of the Johnny Cash, the reactive dyed superblack version however, should also go brown, it's the same dyeing method.

I'm thinking I'll reinforce the fraying edges with a little sashiko type stitching unless there are other ideas.
Since there were no other ideas, I went ahead and did this last night. Tried my best to keep things straight/even but it was tricky being it was mostly on a curved surface with lots of piping in the way.

@pechelman That red is killer!
-
@pechelman bag looks awesome
I think it has a worn in beat up look that should be embraced. -
You did that by hand? Stitching is clean and crisp!:)

I’m actually looking forward to mine turning a little brown!
Dude, ever since the recent discussion regarding SB turning brown in the sun, I have laid out my SB vest. I had it on the roof of my house for a week while on vacation and have it on my deck currently. It is for sure turning color and its fun to watch. I'll be leaving it outdoors in the sun for the foreseeable future or until it fades enough to my liking. I'll post photos in a few weeks or so. I quite enjoy this surprising method to turn denim black to brown.
