      Does anyone have good and practical advice how to a fade wash on 100% cotton? Make new cotton pants fade.

      Thanks!

        If I get the Question Right there are something like 100+ Pages on this Forum on how to care for your various Fabrics in many ways, maybe have a read, it´s a great Resource.

          I'm afraid you won't find an answer to your question here. We wear the shit out of our IH gear in order to get that personal fade and washing is not going to help to achieve that goal. Quite the opposite…

          Having no destination, I’m never lost.

            In my experience, if you want more high contrast fades, wear the hell out of them for 2-3 months without washing.  From that point, regular warm washes inside out once a month or so. 
            For more classic vintage style fades, wash more routinely from the outset.  In either case, wearing them hard and consistently and engaging in exercise or ideally manual labor will speed things along.  Of course there are a million opinions, but the general consensus on this forum tends to be wear them hard and wash them.  Hope that helps.
