      My pair went like that after the first wash and I was super careful (30C, 400rpm spin). I just started wearing and washing them regularly and it evened out.

          It doesn't even look that bad in the pics, though.

                  Anyone get spray insulation on their denim? This crap won't come off easily. Rubbing, sand paper, Razer. Nothing works without taking a bunch of Indigo off or damaging the denim.

                  These were before I washed them. You can see the spots down low where it's the spray insulation, sucks.

                      No way that is coming out without serious abrasion and/or solvent use. Both of which will be leave a visible mark and damage the fabric. I got some all over a pair of heavy Blåkladder work trousers from seven years ago. They’ve been used heavily and washed to death. That stuff looks like it did when it went on.

                      I’d wear the crap out of them anyway. I have a pair of 555N with wood glue ground in at various spots. Still wear them and not just for working in. Wabi sabi.

                        On my way to buy black textile dye. Before this incident I could have worn this jeans at work with a dress shirt. Now that is out of the question. I hope the dye will cover this mess good enough.

                            Agree with SFD that’s a nice pair of SBG denim^ I would invest in a new pair of SBG or Superblack and use those ones as everyday gear (actually that’s exactly what I did do [emoji1]).

                              ^^watch how you dye them. I used Dylon machine dyes (several by the way), which obviously requires to use a washing machine. Turn them inside out.
                              I dyed my 76 and although I’m happy with it I got crease marks on the arms because I forgot to turn it inside out

                                I like the look as well.

                                  Yeah, it's just how the SBG fades over time. The wash just slightly accelerated it.

                                    Anybody own an RV? I think they’re referred to as caravans in Europe. Jody and I are thinking about getting one to travel with the dogs (finding hotels that will take two rotties can be a challenge, plus I’ve read enough horror stories about dogs dying in the cargo hold of planes I won’t consider it)

                                    I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                      Travelled around last summer in a Mercedes 2500 on the Sprinter frame.  Really great vehicle and much easier to park and get around in than a giant RV. There are lots of good companies that modify/put their own finish on these Mercedes.  The only complaint I had was that the brakes weren't beefy enough on long downhills.

                                        I would personally prefer something on the Sprinter frame, but having the wife and the dogs are going to make it pretty tight. Also, I would be approaching the upper limit for weight with everyone plus stuff in it. I was looking at the Airstream Interstate pretty hard. Currently thinking about a Nexus RV Viper model.

                                          Are you sure about that?  We have friends with a Sprinter, and they get two adults, four kids between ages 10 and 17, and a crap load of equipment into one and drive from Texas to Colorado at least once a year.  It's decked out with a bathroom, satellite tv/internet, a fridge, and all the other comforts of modern life.

                                            I can't even wrap my mind around six people in a Sprinter…

                                            Unless they're just using it as a point A to point B vehicle, but we intend to live in it for a week at a time...
