@neph93 I would have never thought that it would fade to a brown. All these posts are crazy to think of the possible colors and fades by just changing a few things around! I would rock those browns more than my regular chinos

@Jett129 I did find Self Edge has a 22oz Type 3 Overdyed denim jacket. The BSPTIII22OZ. That thing is EXTRA HEAVY chalked up black lol

@popvulture Agreed! SBGs are super soft when you work them in. That's why I had to pause when I read it's black warp and weft. I really thought that maybe it was a white weft at first, hence why they get so soft.

That being said a black warp and white weft I feel like could be just straight pajamas with how comfortable they could get lol

[Jett129]

@Ed-Rekuc They are absolutely straight up like pajamas/sweats.

Thanks @pechelman that’s really appreciated.

I like the look too @Giles, but it may inform my colour choice

@jerkules you're welcome. I know this is a bit late, but was wearing this shirt today and figured a picture could help your decision.

[jerkules]

@pechelman looks rad, I really like the colour you went for! Did you use a standard dye kit like Dylon or something?

[pechelman]

Thanks @jerkules
I used RIT dye using the stove top method and the "Petal Pink". Also used the fixer afterwards to prevent it from bleeding or fading too much.

Also found the original post; it lightens up a bunch after it gets a wash and dry.

Great color!

Does a thread exist for the 18 oz OD version of the 301S?
I've tried a few different attempts using the search function but no dice

[AdamJ]

@GraemeE Because we do not carry the 301 or 633 models, there is not always a dedicated product thread that links to the store. Not to say that there isn't a thread started by someone else.

Having just had a quick search myself, I can't see a 633S-18od

[GraemeE]

@AdamJ no worries

Thanks for looking

Curious, does anyone else rotate/wear/wash their denim based off the current level of “stink” and the activities to ensue? As in, wow, this one is really ripe… *pull out of rotation and add to the sweaty yard work pile and push a few more days of wear before wash.

[AdamJ]

@flannel-slut After getting over the initial "washing will prevent the fades!" I tend to just wash as and when needed

[Giles]

My mother drilled it into me from a young age, if your shit looks dirty, or smells, wash it.

Sage advice.

[flannel slut]

For the most part, I do wash when smelly or dirty but come summer and yard work; I need to wash, literally every time. I’ve been moving some of these items that could use a wash into my “working in my workwear” pile before cleaning.
However, still can not be bothered to wash behind my ears.

[Tago Mago]

If you're parting a crowd as if you're Moses at the Red Sea you probably need to wash your clothes or yourself more often

[flannel slut]

certainly not moving these stinky items into the date night pile. BUT I may need to reconsider moving these stinkies into my "going through customs pile"... Moses and the Red Sea sounds like it could have major advantages

[ROman]

Hopefully your washing with a good detergent, sometimes a stench has been known to remain in fibers after washing.

[flannel slut]

@ROman none of my IH gear holds much odor and does air out very well but will say my RGT ISC shirt gets stinky no time, like a super power

[FlavourFade]

@flannel-slut since I don't live in a very warm climate I can stretch out the periods of "no wash" by hanging my denim outside in the cooler nights. Also my workplace has aircon. But I have never worn a pair of jeans longer than 100 days without a gentle wash. Even if they don't smell, they still get dirty or stained at some point
