That is a great pic @endo. What are you working with in them?

[endo]

Thanks, @neph93. Actually, I'm just a doc, so no hard challenges for my wear at work. But, I also like to be outdoors as much as possible, and that's where I use the same wear.

Not sure there has ever been «just a doc», but there certainly isn’t these days.

Physical labour or not, getting to wear jeans to work and using them all day is a great thing. Good luck with this pair, it is really wonderful denim.

I was working in Southern France and I felt like my jeans were full of coronavirus… so I gave into my OCD and washed them today. :c

I love the deep blue color of these when they are wet. The nice thing about working abroad is that we get a full-paid 14 day quarantine at home when we get back.

Good to hear from you @Filthy….. haven't seen you post in a long time hope all is well. Jean's look great too 

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks. I'm alright. I've really been enjoying my jeans. I already regret washing them though. Hopefully they will look cool with a little fade shifting.

I know the feeling… big regret after having washed my IHJ-24 for the first time after a year's worth of wear... never felt the same since.  I'm not against washing denim, but wish I'd waited for as long as possible, your post reminded me of this!

@BULLITT BEE I got a little bit of shift. But I think it will add even more character. The color of this denim is so awesome.

Could you elaborate what you mean by shift?  Creases in a slight different location?

I agree, the color is lovely.  They're going to look amazing with more evo!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

After a wash, a fade shift occurs because of shrinkage and the new creases don't line up with the old ones correctly, or the get wider.

@Filthy Would it make sense to start the fading process after the first soak/ wash in order to avoid that? Good to see you again by the way

I've tried all different things. But I think it depends on what kind of denim you have. But for the 25 oz I really enjoy the way it feels before it sees water. Also it seems to lend itself to some crisp fades. I chose not to soak this pair because they fit great already and the waist was kind of snug. The fade was more of a secondary concern.

If your denim is raw and unsanforized,  I would definitely soak a couple of times unless you plan on never ever washing them (which I think is pretty unrealistic).
