A place to post all of your “learning moments” in the denim journey. Thank you @RobeOfTheMagi for the excellent suggestion

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

[RobeOfTheMagi]

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'

@T4920 ...under consideration and will get back to you.

[T4920]

@RobeOfTheMagi I'll wear and post my marbled shirt tomorrow

[Giles]

It's good job that I didn't start this thread......

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@Kasi Did it do anything to the jeans or did just leave an itchy bottom?

[AdamJ]

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.

Practice what you preach and all that

[T4920]

and what would've it been titled if you did @Giles

[Giles]

I daren't reply......

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

[T4920]

@Kasi I did all that rubbish around 2010 ahaha...
Freeze my jeans, sand bath my jeans, take them in the sea... don't think it did anything but I enjoyed the whole process

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@AdamJ Couldn't you explain that the next wash was only due in six months time?
