There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

@Pinkpan another forum member made a spreadsheet like tracker to keep tally of wears. He posted it somewhere (I can’t recall)
@Oaktavia might be able to repost it for ya…

Here is a blank chart in a Google Document. You may want to add column on the right for number of washes. Just make a copy if you want to use one.

@Pinkpan I believe @SKT showed me the wear tracker app and that’s what I use. Super helpful app to track wears.

@ZackB thanks for the mention but I don’t think it was me. I just use the Notes app in iOS and record stuff there. Looks like this

@pinkpan I keep IOS notes for my wears and measurements but I only count wears on denim. Fun to keep track of just to compare and keeping track of measurements helps kinda as a buying guide.

[SKT]

I should add that this denim hobby really lets my ocd shine… no shame

[WhiskeySandwich]

@SKT lol, dude i was just trying to explain why my hands were blue to a co-worker.... i got like 5 sentences in, which was probably 4 too many, before i just realized I should do myself a favor and change the subject.

[ZackB]

@WhiskeySandwich hahaha, we just moved and bought new furniture, only to realize I can’t sit on any of it because it’s white

[WhiskeySandwich]

@ZackB keep the receipts?

[ZackB]

@WhiskeySandwich got em! Or I can just have my indigo spot on the couch.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@ZackB give the couch some wabi-sabi. Gotta spread it around though, hahah, one spot would look funny

@goosehd thanks! Might be able to add to that thread soon.

@ZackB we have a white chair in our front room. Thought it’s nothing fancy, I am eternally banned from sitting in it.

@SKT your notes practice changed my life. I keep all kinds of data on each item (washes, pre: post wash measurements, fade progress, price paid and date of purchase etc) in my own notes app now since you showed me this trick.

I used to have random notebooks all over the house I’d randomly annotate these things in. Now it’s conveniently stored in one place. I still use the random notebooks for my finances though…which drives my accountant wife and all her spreadsheets crazy!

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle hell yeah dude, we gotta keep those details TIGHT

Recently back into IH jeans, so my last pairs were from 2021-ish. Did IH level up their pocket bags recently? I feel like they are nicer and more robust than i remember?

Does anyone else keep their tags from shirts/flashers for jeans? I got a lil collection going- reminds me of collecting Pokemon cards in the 90s.

[ZackB]

@Jord I do! I keep them in a little bag in my closet.

[goosehd]

I’m trying to find the post, but someone saved all of the tags and taped them to their closet door…it was a pretty cool display of item’s bought over the years. Maybe this will jog someone’s memory as I can’t remember who it was.
