Am I the only one?

I found that whatever I try to fade, if it’s like every other day wear, i reach my happy spot after like 6 months. The trick is have a small rotation. 6 months hot, 6 months cold for the heavier ones. Shirts take forever for me cuz I wear them once a week. Wash minimally. Only time I sleep in denim is camping. I think most of my fades come from just being active as fuck.

@jerkules OD lefty sleep is cosy, who needs a weighted blanket!

This thread inspired me to sleep in my 33 and 21oz jeans last night. Possibly a coincidence, but it was the first time I've slept all the way through through the night since returning from holiday six days ago.

Sleeping in denim is the cure to jet lag, apparently...

I tried to sleep in my 62 a couple times after I read that @Oaktavia did it with his wabash cpo because I can't wear anything else than my jeans to work because we have to wear the company shirts and jackets... So I only get to fade bottoms and boots but for shirts and jackets it's only while commuting or after work hours which is sometimes a little frustrating... Like realizing there are so many limited releases I want to have but the one I got a year ago looks almost new

Bed fades for the win

[Oaktavia]

@FlavourFade FWIW I wore my 227 around the clock for days on end- sometimes as far as 72-96 hour stints.

I immediately thought of @Oaktavia when I started reading this thread

As an aside, I keep wondering which April 1st the IHUK team is going to announce 5oz cotton/linen indigo dyed PJs

[Oaktavia]

@Buckeye I wear an OD UHF to sleep every night.

Honest questions for the bed-fading crowd:

Are you under 40?
Do you reject the concept of comfort?
Do you have a partner with whom you share a bed?

Not for long.

Do you reject the concept of comfort?

I find comfort in the uncomfortable.

Do you have a partner with whom you share a bed?

Yes BUT I reserve jackets for when she is away on work trips (1-2 weeks a year).

I've used this exactly phrasing when trying to explain to a friend why I don't wanna borrow a pair of his sweatpants when I'm chilling at his place on a winter evening and he cannot fathom why I'd want be wearing jeans...

I get that. I really do.

For me though, I've think I've had a little too much discomfort in my lifetime (the best example of this is serving on a submarine for 3-1/2 years), and I'm okay with some discomfort during the day, but at night, it's my time to find the most peace and to let my body recover.

I believe that life really begins at 40. Exciting!

This is my worst nightmare The first jacket that comes to mind when I think about being miserable in bed is my Lefty. Some of the high-wear areas are really soft, but the rest of the jacket is still quite crunchy. No thank you!
