Followed (most) of the guidelines on how to wash superblack jeans, still ended up with lots of white spots and streaks.

Which ones did you miss? (Because they’re obviously the important ones)…

[Seul]

Turned them inside out, used liquid soap, low RPM spin cycle, pulled them out before the high RPM spin cycle, even used a "Delicate fecking garments (ya ponce)" setting… 

[Seul]

Should've bloody soaked them before throwing them in the machine… That's the one that probably did me in... 

[neph93]

I was just writing «Didn’t you pre-soak them?»…

[neph93]

That is the key one I’m afraid.

[Seul]

Aye I'd forgotten about that bit… Fuck it... I'll just not wash them again and get them so dirty the spots won't even be noticeable...

Fuck do I care anyway

Please share pictures after theyre dry. I still fear washing the 777vs

WTF, I thought the real SB (not SBG) can not fade, no matter how you mess with them while washing.  ???

Sorry… from the official garment cleaning advice in the FAQ section:

It’s not a fade, it’s a mark caused by abrasion I believe.

[neph93]

I now pre-soak everything made of heavy material or indigo dyed before I chuck them in the machine. It’s important because it prevents sharp creases forming in the fabric which happens quickly if you stuff them in machine dry. I use the shower head and soak the outside then flip them and repeat.

I had perfect luck washing my 8301 by soaking them for 30 minutes in the tub, putting them in a pre-filled/sudsy washing machine, and even spun them dry. No marks whatso ever. The soak is the key.

Was checking the Corlection site and was mildly irritated that their measurements are done slightly different than IH. I wished there was a universal system of measuring clothing to avoid confusion. It's not rocket science so I don't get why thigh measurements, as an example, are measured at the crotch, 1" down and 2" down for different companies?

We measure the way the Japanese do…....For us, any other way of measuring is a potential cause of confusion when we spec clothing....

I just wished every company measured the IH way because I know my measurements is what i'm getting it.

Looks like it’s time to get a new job after 20 years with the same company

Damn, good luck to you!

Sounds shitty, I’m sorry for you. Conflict, closure or corporate cøcks?

[Megatron1505]

Due to wanting me to take a step backwards (lesser job) as nobody else wants to do it. Basically taking the piss.
