Over 10 years ago those 25 oz jeans have been made for the Chainstitch massacre at Gosport last March 31-st 2013 for the Heavy weight workd denim chanpionship

Check out the powerful fading results like @tody and @Kasi is sporting

Thanks so much to the Ironheart crew for this amazing party weekend and keep go on with your great raw denim work!!

@Matt:

Although I wash mine inside out, I’m not entirely convinced it does anything.  If you wash them by themselves then the only thing to agitate would be the smooth interior of the machine.  If you wash them inside out then they agitate against themselves which is more abrasive.  They’ll fade far more with wear than with washing.  @swiss-jeansfreak never washes his and I’ve never seen a more faded pair of jeans here or anywhere else.

Many washes causes quite a lot of indigo loss with more sky faded jeans and with less prominent contrasts on whiskers and honey combs.
Sun bleach can also make your jeans look brighter.

The main reason to wash a jeans inside out is to prevent unwanted random creases created through some foldings during the washing process.

You can expect a bit less contrast whiskers and honey combs if worn never washed over a very long time since dirt and grim will cover the denim fabric a bit But it will pop up much stronger after the first wash then.

I just wear my raw denim gear dry since my stuff seens to have a water allergy ha ha

@Filthy:

@Graeme @swiss-jeansfreak I am super proud to have something that was once mine belong to Jeansus himself. Graeme, sorry the bag didn't hold up longer. But it does look super awesome and I hope Jeansus get a couple more years out of it and it ends up in the Jeans Museum of Heaviest Fadings.

Thanks a lot @Graeme and @Filthy  for the bag and I plan to display it in the Jeansroom and I‘ll check, if the strap can be fixed easily

Thanks so much Graeme for the bag, which originally came from @Filthy and the several jeans.
It was great meeting you at the 20 year Ironheartparty.

And I can recommend you the Kasperi bag if I had knew it I woukd have inforned you since I have 2 of them at home but they‘re too small not enough room for me

@Graeme:

I've got an eye on a Kasperi Fold Top…

looks very nice @Graeme will probably go through a beautiful evolution

Great shots @weftyarn and @don_pipone did a great job makeing them stand by their own.

They were stiff as a board again when they had dried up, so I had some fun with them:

Wow, you‘re a fast fader!

@Oaktavia, I checked out swissjeansfreak's pair of XHS on Instagram. 1000+ wears, and unwashed! The pair looks really impressive. And probably smells awful!

Sure, will post some pre- and post-wash pics!
