Hmm…you might wanna kick me, but somehow I liked them better some months before. They look very good still, but a bit too washed out for my taste (the area on the thighs), if you know what I mean. Looks like marks from the washing machine?
-
Don't get me wrong. They're awesome. But I like jeans some sort of before that state better, that's why I usually stop wearing mine at 8 months. (And to justify new ones ;))

Yes, but he would cry when he reads 12 washes lol.

I don't know what to say about comments above. I'm pretty much speechless.
cuz of the retirement or cuz of what?

To help illustrate Max's point;

They've really 'bloomed' since August!
Usually takes me about 2-3 years to get a pair of jeans looking anything close to broken in. Once they break heavily they develop a special place in my heart (and wardrobe), and get taken out on special occasions :).

yeah, I really know what Flo (MaxP) was talking about, thanks for explaining again though…I guess that "effect" just comes from washing them frequently and a lot of wear, hard wear!
after heavy abuse and a lot of washes, it looks like the indigo is getting pretty rare in some places. and tbh. I haven't seen my jeans as "clean" as they looked after that last wash (something IJ might be happy about)
