Am I the only one?

@kantian What is it about jackets?! @Mizmazzle knows exactly what I'm talking about.
I had a convo with someone last night about flying in jeans. I'll fly to another continent in my denim. IDGAF. The guy I was talking to last night will only fly in sweats. No thanks.

@flannel-slut I get patted down EVERY time I wear XHS.

Hah great thread topic. I've actually only got into raw denim at the start of last year, I have barely any fades on my jeans as I work from home most days and have like 20 pairs of jeans in rotation (yes within the year, always looking at more too!)
I've slept in my jeans but wouldn't do a jacket/denim shirt, also would need to be cold otherwise I'd wake up sweating

The only IH piece of clothing I’ve slept in is my pale rider when New to try and soften it up the leather was and still is super tough so I gave it a go which pissed my wife off no end with the squeaky noises so that got knocked on the head .
May be wrong but I don’t see how sleeping in denim will make it fade , movement is key ..IG : @luvthefades

@Mister_Brue I do it just because I love to wear it but yes just shirts.

@Mister_Brue I think it puts a lil patina on there
-
@mclaincausey For sure. I don't wear things that are clearly dirty, and I have a pretty liberal washing philosophy. I'm not sleeping in my front yard.
-
@Mister_Brue Honestly, this is the main reason for doing it. At best, I suspect the actual fades are negligible. I think it does contribute to molding the denim to your body. I move a lot during my sleep. Sprawl my arms out. I think it helps in setting crease in the shoulders and sleeves.
-
@Jcaz6996 You're probably right. I think it helps set creases in the shoulders and torso. Afterwards, it wears more naturally to me, but it might be a placebo effect.
I could see a leather garment responding to it, though, The sheets brushing the leather, the heat activating the oils in the leather.

@seawolf Vanity to some degree. A jacket is the first part of an outfit people notice. Imo, it's the core of a silhouette. They're the most flexible part of wardrobe. Shifting seamlessly between styles and outfits.

I found that whatever I try to fade, if it’s like every other day wear, i reach my happy spot after like 6 months. The trick is have a small rotation. 6 months hot, 6 months cold for the heavier ones. Shirts take forever for me cuz I wear them once a week. Wash minimally. Only time I sleep in denim is camping. I think most of my fades come from just being active as fuck.

@jerkules OD lefty sleep is cosy, who needs a weighted blanket!
This thread inspired me to sleep in my 33 and 21oz jeans last night. Possibly a coincidence, but it was the first time I've slept all the way through through the night since returning from holiday six days ago.
Sleeping in denim is the cure to jet lag, apparently...

I tried to sleep in my 62 a couple times after I read that @Oaktavia did it with his wabash cpo because I can't wear anything else than my jeans to work because we have to wear the company shirts and jackets... So I only get to fade bottoms and boots but for shirts and jackets it's only while commuting or after work hours which is sometimes a little frustrating... Like realizing there are so many limited releases I want to have but the one I got a year ago looks almost new

@FlavourFade FWIW I wore my 227 around the clock for days on end- sometimes as far as 72-96 hour stints.
