@goosehd I saw that, got it. So if I’m reading between the lines correctly— Skip the wearing while soaking, just hot soak then toss in the washer for the agitation.

@Tastefulgent try these steps as per here

My UHR after 21 wears. Fairly hard wears, really trying to break them in with lots of movement such as walks, easier work and playing with the kids. Looks kinda cool on the inside.
This is not a complaint, I just want to ask how you guys do.
Obviously I can carry my phone elsewhere, I’m just so used to have it in the front right pocket. Im probably going to size down from this brick of a phone soon to.
Questions!
-
How do you carry your phone?
-
I guess there are a lot of you who have had pockets repaired. Have any of you done it yourselves? Or is the proper action to send it somewhere for repair?
Thanks guys!
I know that I shall meet my fate, somewhere among the clouds above; Those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love.

@Sunnergren after getting a very vivid brick of a phone fade in my front pocket that I wasn't a fan of, I started carrying in my back pocket. Phone fade doesn't bother me as much there.
-
@Sunnergren I do not put anything in my pockets except: a Zippo in my coin pocket, which in time creates a subtle, mostly hidden fade and a folded bandana in my back left pocket. I use the bandana for all kinds of bandanay things.
I find it much easier to carry things that create bulky and (imo) unsightly fades on jeans (that distract from the areas like lap and back pocket fades and rip pocket bags, potentially) in a shoulder bag or backpack.
-
@Sunnergren I'd be interested to see them from the outside, that's some killer pocket fades for 21 wears! Although not ideal... I go back pocket with my phone when out walking and like @wjw said I've had no issues, also always pull it out when sitting...
-
@Jord trying to make better habit of pulling out while sitting myself
-
Thank you guys for taking the time. I will think it over. Definitely smaller phone next time..
Have been a ”right front pocket phone guy” for approx 25 years, hard to break habits.I’ll make sure to take some photos tomorrow

Yeah, don’t put your phone in your jeans pockets unless you really like phone shaped fades. I use a bag, the inner pocket of a type 3, or breast pockets on shirts.

21,5 days of UHR. Very interesting denim, I like it. Getting very warm now with days at or above 20 degrees C. If they don’t start to smell terrible I’m aiming at first real wash between 70-90 wears. I think.
Will try my best to carry my phone in backpocket or a bag, so the phone-fade will not get more prominent.
