^ Love it. This kind of thing from the Boss makes me go starry eyed and soft in the centre.

Does anyone use a little bit of bleach when washing denim? Like after desired fade marks are present, to whiten up the white areas? I have read about this somewhere online but can't seem to remember where.

I have one IHSH that is faded nice and vintagey but the white area look a little dull and could use some brightening up, but only if it would not ruin the integrity of the fabric.

Bleach is always going to damage cotton a little, but small amounts shouldn’t matter.

To be on the safe side you can add Vanish to the wash, or use washing detergent specifically for whites, instead of raw bleach.

Oh okay cool that make sense. Thanks Reuben!

@Oaktavia This should help you as well,and is color safe.

I put a small amount of bleach into the washing machine to lighten a pair of 21oz OD, and they are light blue now and the fabric is still soft and solid

[Oaktavia]

Thanks for the answers gents!

Very interesting
How much is a little bit or a small amount?

[Nik]

50ml at first, then did it again with 100ml, and was happy so stopped there.

Am I losing it or is anyone else missing the product threads.  I’m sure it’s just down for maintenance or something but I didn’t notice anyone else talking about it today so I figured I’d ask.  Sorry if I missed the notice elsewhere.

[Jett129]

I can see them.

[Matt]

This is all I have…

[Matt]

Never mind.  I see now that it’s minimized.  I guess this was the right thread after all.

At least give me credit for knowing where the stupid questions belong.
