Is there any UHR with some Fading going on? Would still like to see, wether they fade like the SRs.

[JCMx800]

Gonna wear my pair at the Sailorsnight, just for you buddy Hope there will be some fading…

Needs to get a little bit colder before I get started on my 666.  Couple of weeks, maybe.

Honeycombs gonna look nice in some months

[el padre]

Nice twist, there.

[JCMx800]

Love the fit, and the stuff I did in them.

[Max Power]

And what was his opinion?

Indigoed skin.

Is there any trace of slunbiness on the UHR denim?

[JCMx800]

Not really, it´s tight and hairy.

Silly questions… should I soak unsanforized denim inside out or, it doesn't matter? Would using Woolite darks help at all with preventing indigo loss (or vinegar, for that mattter--so I've heard)?

[el padre]

Yeah, I'd go inside out, especially if they're going in the machine. Apart from the marks, you don't want to miss out on the fun of turning them right way round again.

[Max Power]

When you soak inb the tub, no need to turn them insideout. I would not add detergent nor anything else. They won't loose much Indigo just from lying in the water, maybe a bit excess Indigo will bleed off, but that's no big deal.

True. In fact, my 666UHR looked no different after a 30deg wash in the machine.  Don't put them in with your white shirts, though.

Has anyone done the initial wash for unsanforized/loomstate denim in a machine? Is there an disadvantage to doing that?

Seems that most reports I've read have been of people soaking them in a bathtub.
