Not fitting to the SBG, but to the latest arcs conversation: Iron Heart was doing the exact opposite with the PIH5DCT by using a baby blue and a white thread. Super contrast when new. Almost hidden when the surrounding fabric reaches the same colour.

@don_pipone I cannot deny, that I had similar pictures in my head when typing this

@don_pipone I would not go for 555 on new jeans either anymore. However, I have to cope with them as they are not totally worn out yet. 10 years ago when I bought them, they could not be skinny enough. Now I have to pay the bill:-)
And somehow especially on black jeans I still like the slim cut for a change. Certainly not for everyday

@don_pipone yeah man. This is why I prefer tonal arcs. You can make them really pop by fading the surrounding fabric

@FlavourFade Thank you man! Should be 6 or 7 machine washes. Another one due soon when it comes to repairing again

The number of the beast - 666 days of wear

Thanks @AdamJ and @ZackB
It became ridiculously soft indeed @CosmoSix5

Still my go go jacket and I wear it on a daily basis. Wanna really see if black or blue will dominate on the long run

Pretty happy with how it came out of its 2nd wash

try my best. Can‘t stay as virgin as they are now

Summer has not always been superhot this year.
So I got quite some wear in during the last months

My „new“ 1000 days of wear project. Already collected 535 days during the last 9 years, but just now I took them into heavy rotation.

Thanks @AdamJ @Fadez @V-P
@Jett129 42€-Cent to be specific. The excel-sheet, I use to keep track of days just gave me this number today. And yes, it does not get any nerdier.

1000 days of wear completed. 12 machine washes. Slim and heavyweight combined is possible. But not always fun.

Pre-wash - After wash

Ready to continue this journey…

Little new cracks to fix for my tailor atm. Guess this is ok after 978 days. Can‘t wait to receive them back.

One more month to go until 1000 days. I think after that I have to give them some repairs…

…and then continue.

@CosmoSix5 Best choice you could make! This jacket is perfectly weighted and becomes super soft within no time. Also the different shades of black and blue depending on the light are amazing. Well, the fading is tough as nails but if you commit to it it looks perfectly with a bit of wear!

Absolutely and the jacket is too damn good not to do so. Also I consider the high amount of black dye a good thing. It really adds a special flavour compared to „just“ indigo.

Thank you @Oaktavia - as mentioned before, the overdyed fabric is really light sensitive when it comes to photographing. It might appear a bit more blue than in reality in these shots as it was a bright day. So the difference to before wash is not that big. However as you can see, the character of the fabric is really coming through now.
