Day 89 with the slubby...deciding on waiting to wash at
100 wears or try to go to 120 or more. It's definitely not clean at the moment but not stanky either.Edit: after a close inspection this morning, I have determined this jacket needs a wash. Looking at it in the sunlight outdoors really shows the filth. Preparing for washing now. Here are before photos at day 90:

I soaked the jacket in a utility sink and used a horsehair brush to scrub the super dirty areas like the cuffs and sleeves. From there, I let it soak in hot steamy water to help loosen up the filth. I usually do not do this, but there was a lot of brown crud on the jacket and I wanted to be sure it was gone before the machine took over. The water was super dark brown and indigo, darker than I have ever seen before when soaking so it definitely made a difference.
From the machine wash on "sanitize" which is the hottest setting, I opted for no spin and drip dried it outside. Checking it out this morning, I was surprised it was mostly dried. The jacket lost a lot of dirt, as I was expecting, an the fades are showing much more than before. I will take photos this week to show the before and after shots. Pretty happy I waited this long (90 wears) to wash it.
