      Well this was a failure back in days.

      Fading jeans in the stand. A lot of bullshit online. Never again

      Fade with wear. Wearing them

        Here's my IHSH-330-BLK (such an underrated shirt if you mind me saying so!):

        Washed very hot and on high spin.

          @RobeOfTheMagi that's cool has hell!
          Reminds me of the almost vascular markings on the inner side of the Big Buck hides 🦌

            Just my two cents, but maybe tweak the name of this thread to put a more optimistic spin on these 'failures'?

            I know for one I've been upset and disheartened by these things in the past, and seeing a thread with a more positive title may help people feel better about such mishaps.

            Perhaps 'I messed up, a place for denim mistakes or; How I learned to stop worrying and love the Wabi-Sabi'

            Dr. Strangelove style 😆

                        Probably got away with it because it's SBG but I totally bollocksed up my IH-526J-SBG sample by not soaking it before washing.

                                  didn’t do shit.

                                  Wash them afterwards

                                  Waste of time.

                                      Yeah, something not to admit in the pub. Someone spilled a pint on my new-ish IH-555N during the World Cup, I had a sense of humour failure and complained "these natural indigo". What originally was sympathy from my mates quickly turned in to piss taking
