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.

@WhiskeySandwich

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.

Love this thread.
So many great contributions!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia hell yes, that’s what I’m talkin bout! They both looks so good. IB really makes for some awesome lookin fades. They’re more similar than I thought. I’m sure the feel is another story though. Thanks for sharing, you work fast!
