      @jerkules Oh, I do don't sleep in my gear for the comfort haha...only to clock extra hours in a day. Also, my wife has to be out of town or it's a no go! So that only equates to about 5-6 nights a year...which has probably next to zero impact on my actual fades....I probably just need a good therapist.

      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

          @Mizmazzle LOL. I almost added a bit about being single, but I thought it was obvious. They have to really love you if they'll suffer rubbing up against denim all night and getting indigo all over their pajamas.

              @T4920 It's 21oz. It's not like denim with a dyed weft. You have to use every tool at your disposal to fade it.

                Ah man Filthy always slept in his. I very rarely do it myself, usually with the rationale of wearing em in/out.

                  @Mizmazzle haha my wife’s away right now, perhaps I’ll give it a go. Funnily, my 4 year old loves getting into our bed at night but always sleeps on my wife’s side. I said tonight while mummy’s away you can get in with me and she said “NO WAY YOU’RE ALWAYS NAKED” 😂 perhaps I’ll stick on my overdyed lefty and see if she’s happier with that.

                      Really 🤔

                      I wear chosen denim 38.5 hours a week to fade fast, out of work hours random stuff.
                      After 1 year of fading, move on to something else.

                      I never sleep in denim

                        @kantian What is it about jackets?! @Mizmazzle knows exactly what I'm talking about.

                        I had a convo with someone last night about flying in jeans. I'll fly to another continent in my denim. IDGAF. The guy I was talking to last night will only fly in sweats. No thanks.

                          I never pass up the opportunity to wear my XHS when flying. And also make sure to be wearing the proper shirt:

                              Hah great thread topic. I've actually only got into raw denim at the start of last year, I have barely any fades on my jeans as I work from home most days and have like 20 pairs of jeans in rotation (yes within the year, always looking at more too!)

                              I've slept in my jeans but wouldn't do a jacket/denim shirt, also would need to be cold otherwise I'd wake up sweating

                                The only IH piece of clothing I’ve slept in is my pale rider when New to try and soften it up the leather was and still is super tough so I gave it a go which pissed my wife off no end with the squeaky noises so that got knocked on the head .
                                May be wrong but I don’t see how sleeping in denim will make it fade , movement is key ..

                                      @mclaincausey For sure. I don't wear things that are clearly dirty, and I have a pretty liberal washing philosophy. I'm not sleeping in my front yard.

                                        @Mister_Brue Honestly, this is the main reason for doing it. At best, I suspect the actual fades are negligible. I think it does contribute to molding the denim to your body. I move a lot during my sleep. Sprawl my arms out. I think it helps in setting crease in the shoulders and sleeves.

                                          @Jcaz6996 You're probably right. I think it helps set creases in the shoulders and torso. Afterwards, it wears more naturally to me, but it might be a placebo effect.

                                          I could see a leather garment responding to it, though, The sheets brushing the leather, the heat activating the oils in the leather.

                                            @seawolf Vanity to some degree. A jacket is the first part of an outfit people notice. Imo, it's the core of a silhouette. They're the most flexible part of wardrobe. Shifting seamlessly between styles and outfits.
