Those are rockin @jdl1279 .  Awesome work!…

@jdl1279 awesome sashiko and best train tracks/outseam I can recall in recent or distant memory. That's definitely a Heddles Fade Friday fade of the year candidate there.

Agreed with the above comments! Those are ART!

I also agree,those are the coolest faded jeans I’ve ever seen. Send pics to Heddels so we can all vote for you.

Thanks gents! I've honestly just wore them NFG. The thighs being oil stained were the reason I went sashiko on the repairs. They're still a work in progress as far as I'm concerned

Lovely. Is that some 21oz action?

[tvenuto]

21oz 1955 after 2 years of cold weather wear.

[neph93]

Great pair and nice pics. What kind of washing regime have they had?

[jdl1279]

526L is coming along nicely

[tvenuto]

@neph93 shoulda tagged me didn’t see your question.

I don’t track washes or wears or do anything special to preserve or facilitate fades. I think they’ve been washed 4 times total. Washed inside out cold, line dried right side out, then usually air tumble with no heat in drier.

In my experience, the stress of getting jeans right-side out while still wet can create undesirable (if usually temporary) fade patterns in the indigo. I let mine hang dry and then get them back right-side out. FWIW, YMMV, etc

As someone who owns one myself, I know how much of a pain the break in of this one can be but you're doing awesome so far :o

Wearing the 526L a lot in the cool weather.

^ Damn… I really really hope mine will also turn out to be like this!
