Mate looking at yours is the marbly look how the denim develops or is it from washing?They both look amazing.

@Jcaz6996 well I have had a 10 month head start but yeah that marble pattern has been from washing despite soaking thoroughly in a utility sink beforehand each time. It seems indigo/black is more susceptible to this. Also black/black seems to marble easily too, my 295bb and XHSbb marbled with washing. Does not happen to my 293 for example with same washing process. I think marbling adds character and a vintage element to combine with contrasting fades. Vintage plus contrast is my sweet spot. Here are my notes from my wear/wash chart for the 409:
5 machine washes:
25-machine
46- machine
69- machine
116- machine
~134 machineToday is wear number 143 to a pool party this afternoon. The 295ib is an amazing fader and has more range of contrast than the 409 from what I have observed, especially in person. But 409 takes the crown for heft.
Edit: so if you are trying to avoid marbling or wherever y'alls opinions are of it, I would avoid a machine washer. I prefer the machine because it gets my denim clean. I don't really count soaks or soapy soaks as "washes" but to each their own.

My home washing machine has an impeller instead of an agitator,and I got tired of it messing up my IH gear with marbling and other inconsistencies. Decided to try taking my IH gear to a local laundromat where they have big front loaders,and for me that was a total game changer. Clothes come out really clean,with no unusual washing machine streaks,marbeling etc. Currently using Woolite Dark with cold water.

@goosehd i see you move things now and then because people are thread thrifting, for example on the IH 21oz caps the other day which is good cause you’re a mod and move things where they belong but i don’t think it’s a good idea out of my perspective that you thread thrift yourself about which washing machine people have in this thread. Luckily we’re people and no robots but just a heads up

@Heavy_blue for what it's worth, I agree with @goosehd that unrelated chatter should be kept to a minimum in the buying/selling threads for the sake of clarity and conciseness, and I would have moved the posts if he hadn't beaten me to it.
In the more general product threads such as this one a discussion on wear & tear as well as product care is beneficial for all forum users. Discussing the type of washing machine seems within reason to me.
And if a discussion does wander off-topic @goosehd and I are always happy to split that discussion off into a separate thread upon reminding, if we haven't done so already.
BTT: love the pics @Heavy_blue. Great to see how this beauty evolves differently for everyone
