I don't think a wash will remove the fade.

It's possibly dried salt, I'd soak them in warm water, agitate for a few mins and drip dry, if it's salt, most of that will go away, if it's a real fade, then it won't

[Brandrea]

Thank you both so much!

I’ll give your suggestions a try and I appreciate the quick replies.

@Brandrea i don’t think your parka will ever be completely free of indigo stains. I’ve had a white jacket professionally cleaned a few times and the stains are still there. I don’t care about it but I forgot to tell the cleaners before the first time that it’s not important. They told me they were not able to remove the stains when I picked up the jacket.

[Brandrea]

@DrPat Thanks for that.

It’s mostly on the inside of the jacket and it really doesn’t bother me a whole lot either. I guess I just noticed how much there was the other day and thought I should maybe remove some of it.

I’m going to try Adam’s spot clean approach and see if it works to take some of it away.

@Brandrea The bottom of your jeans remind me of a photo that Haraki-san posted in the past of his pair of denim:

@cityofdelusion Damn … I’m in good company !

I need some help with a denim decision - which heavyweight denim should I choose?
I'm set on the 777 cut, and I'm considering the following options:

• XHS
• XHS ib
• UHR

I have a 666 in 25oz, so I know what to expect. I have no experience with the UHR fabric, though.
So, let me have some opinions, please.

I think you answered ur own question. UHR.

correct answer. @tody Back in stock later on this year!

[Tago Mago]

@tody Buy a brand new pair of XHS

[tody]

@Tago-Mago I'd also consider a second-hand pair, if I could only find someone who'd be willing to sell it to me

[Tago Mago]

I’m in for the long haul now

[tody]

Great! That probably narrows my question down to XHSib vs UHR then...
Kentaurus has a pair of size 36 UHR in stock. Let's see what I'm going to do on my lunch break tomorrow!

[Tago Mago]

Go for it. UHR is on my list as well in addition to the SBG and the natural indigo. So many choices so little time... I'm gonna have to make a list before I drop by HQ in August

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago …and you’ll throw that list out the window once you get there.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd Nailed it

[Matt]

A list is just a starting point.

@tody ive had both 25 and 21/23. Both are a necessity. I defy u to find someone who’s worn both to tell you differently.

[pechelman]

^^^ agree

Everytime i put on XHS after UHR I'm surprised with how soft and heavy they feel and then when I put on UHR after a long time in XHS I'm surprised by how stiff and tough UHR feels. They feel so much different than the fabric weight would imply. Though if I was pressed to only have one of them I know which I'd choose without too much thought.

[tody]

So - UHR it is, then!
