@Davids_denim great stuff! Looking forward to your 25oz. fades

Also, you’ve done a helluva job on the 21’s!

I am going to switch to my 21oz cap for now. Really feel like I hit a sweet spot with this Wasbash one. I absolutely love this thing, thanks again @tody for helping me locate it.

That thing has come quite a long way!

maybe not crazy high contrast but I love my

First two pictures are 7 months, no wash.
Last two are after the first wash.

Lighting wasn’t on my side for after pictures.

Sun fade 21oz Superblack Non-Fade update: it almost looks iridescent and has like a silvery shimmer to it. The contrast is quite dramatic now. I actually forgot it was up there until the other day when @olblue noticed it hanging off the roof. Its pretty dirty from being outside for so long so I threw it back in the wash. I've done this a few times now. I'm going to keep it up there and see what else happens.

Cool project…have you ever done this with an indigo piece?

I have not but I am unsure if it would have as dramatic of an effect. I wonder if anyone has tried it on here. I might be able to find something to throw up on the roof.

@Oaktavia crazy.. are you going to turn it over or going to rock a two tone?

@Oaktavia

Most of my jacket collection, in order L - R:

19oz Lefty T3
16oz Double Indigo Duck T3
16oz Slubby T2
19oz Indigo/Grey T1
22oz Overdyed Indigo/Brown T3

@Oaktavia Is there a jacket you prefer wearing?

[Oaktavia]

@RobeOfTheMagi The Double Indigo Duck is super rewarding to wear. It fades so incredibly quickly. As far as anesthetics go, I prefer the look of a Type 2. Not pictured is my IHJ-72 which would be my favorite for how a jacket looks on me.

Originally I was going to turn it over but I am surprised by how much I like the two tone contrast. It tells a story in a more direct way.

21oz indigo/black: 152 wears 9 machine wash
25oz indigo/black: 187 wears 2 machine wash

These fades show why I love and appreciate this type of denim so much. The richness of indigo saturation. The variety of value from light to dark. It is unique in its scale contrast.
