@Oaktavia So awesome man those are mesmerizing. Hopefully nobody saw you out in the woods in your underwear taking pictures of these.

6 months, 1 initial soak, 0 wash.
Was going to wash them at this 6 month mark but since they’ll make 7 months exactly the day before IIY5 begins, I’m just holding off until then.
I regret throwing a multi tool in the back pocket next to the wallet lol - we live and we learn.

@jfox1980 Thanks a lot man!
-
@worn2fade these are really going to pop after a wash. Are you going to machine wash them?
-
@Oaktavia I’ve always been more of a hand wash kind of guy. Honestly, the machine scares me dude. Do you feel like a machine wash with no spin is technically more efficient than a hand wash?
-
@worn2fade machine wash for sure gets them cleaner. Just need to make sure you always do the following, simplified:
Inside out tub soak for half hour to an hour first.
Inside out still straight to the machine, gentle or cotton setting, no spin.
Pull out promptly and hang dry out in the sun.
Any worries will be prevented by following these steps. UHR loves a machine wash. Worry not, they will be just fine and much cleaner.
-
@Oaktavia Sounds good man, I just might take you up on that because I would appreciate for them to be as clean as possible which hand washing doesn’t always seem to achieve.
I feel like I usually prefer the soaking part to be done non-inside out, I don’t really believe soaking them inside out will uplift the dirt from the warp since the denim is heavy and tends to stay closed at the hem.
Do you personally believe soaking non-inside out does any harm?
-
@worn2fade I soak them inside out because flipping them inside out when they are soaking wet is a pain in the ass.

-
@worn2fade you are welcome, anytime.

@worn2fade looking great man. Need some UHR in my life.
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 same here…
-
@Mizmazzle thanks my friend. Get ya a pair!

Here is my pair of UHR just shy of 150 wears. 50:50 with my pair of XHSib. These seem to be progressing at a faster rate. I love the cracked scarring on the combs and cuffs.
