AJ and AC 14oz Indigo/Indigo Denim Fade Off!

[Giles]

@AdamJ You want to borrow it ?

@Oaktavia - My regime. When they look or feel dirty or smell, then I wash them. I soak and agitate them a lot right-side out in hot water with a couple of squirts of washing up liquid added (it's what happens to be next to the sink in the utility room). I then turn them inside out and put them in the washing machine with whatever one of these is lying around:

The machine is set to 30 or 40 degree C with the shortest wash cycle that our machine allows. I spin them at 300 or 400rpm, but never spin on the first wash though, too much-associated risk), then I drip dry, or if in a rush, stick them on a radiator...

He could do with it if he wants any chance

[AdamJ]

Yes please. I'm talking a lot of game for someone in dead last place

[Oaktavia]

@Giles cool thanks, that's what I do minus the right-side-out soak with agitation using hot water and washing up liquid...makes sense to do that and I thought about doing so last time I washed a pair. I'll add that to my regime.

@Oaktavia I would,totally,kill for a Western in this denim. I think the 14OZ Westerns have done well?

[AdamJ]

@Jett129 yes, both IHSH-295-IB and IHSH-295-BB were very popular

I think that it gives the grime a good chance of getting out of the surface of the denim......

For sure, I have the 295 indigo/black and black/black and they are incredible for their own reasons. I just yearn for an indigo/indigo Type II so badly.

Maybe this calls for the completion of the 14 OZ Western Trilogy/Trifecta. We have I/B,and B/B so I would think that I/I would/should be next.
