Getting to fade to grey quick?

[dinobarnesberlin]

Agree--real pity
unless of course you're into that stone washed vibe

[WhiskeySandwich]

I think those look rad. BUT not on me.

@dinobarnesberlin Completely agree about the stone wash…didn’t like it the first time it came around nor acid wash…

@Matt for some reason I have no issue with jeans that have been faded by their previous owners but can't hang with pants that come artificially distresses or faded from a factory

I'm down with OPP (other people pants)

oh yea--forgot about the " acid wash" look,
Was not a fan of either--but to each his own

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

yeah you know me

As you wash and wear them ,over time,it will all just blend in.

@GraemeE no those are not mine. That said mine did look like that for a bit but they have faded past that awkward part. I saw those on Grailed as well as the guy says it looks worse in the camera and can confirm. The camera brings out the blotches for sure. What I have been doing is putting them in the wrinkle free cycle on the dryer which is essentially just steaming for 20 minutes. I have gone from borderline hating these jeans to liking them in the last week.

@rudy I know we can all feel the frustration of this situation. I’m willing to bet, though, if you keep wearing them…like ALOT, they will become your faves. Those blotches will smooth over. Your combs and whiskers will take form,,,one day you’ll ask yourself, “how could I live without these beautiful bastards!?”

I bet snow angels would fade jeans like nobody’s business. I noticed some fades on the stacks after a short walk thru the snow the other day.

[Mizmazzle]

@WhiskeySandwich snow hikes are a regular part of my fade regimen. That and never taking off the one pair of jeans i'm focusing on for the year.

Haha you're likely right. I will likely go from like to love at some point. But just as a note for our friends at Iron Heart.....I would buy a grey pair of 21s too
