how do black raw jeans fade?

[liewbaysea]

hey everyone, im thinking of trying a pair black raws but i dont know how they will fade. will they turn blue or turn gray or something? ive never seen a progressed pair of black raws. anyone have pictures? tia!

[adidassler]

turning blue or turning grey/white depends on whether its an overdye or not.. jeans all fade differently so use the search function and find the ones you got.

[eddyz]

They will turn green.

I really don't knonw $#!+ about raw denim, but after reading these boards for the last few weeks I think it really depends on what kind of denim you get.

Supposedly, if the yarns in one direction are dyed black but the ones in the other direction are left white, the denim will fade "similar to indigo" which I assume means that they turn grayish where fades would be. Samurai has this sort of process.

Just look through the denim evolution threads, especially any jeans that have the codename BK in them...they will be BLACK.

Oh, and you're probably gonna get yelled at / neg repped for posting a new thread. The "Small Questions" thread is your friend.

i mean...

IT'S NOT LIKE THERE AREN'T ANY PICS OF FADED BLACK JEANS ANYWHERE IN THIS FORUM.

WHAT?!? No???! REALLY?!?!?!

there might even be pics of people WEARING black jeans:eek:

with just a few mouse clicks

and a bit of thinking (may be difficult) and even a search...

your question would have been answered.

How's many of the noobs going to know how black denim fades if 99% of the black denim on this forum is the S5000BK? Does anyone remember and/or have any evo pics of the PBJ005BK? I remember when everyone was crazy for these.

.. Not that I have anything against the S5000BK, I own a S5000VX. Just seems like those are the only black jeans around with any decent amount of wear.

Sam113, You must post pics of your Indigo Dukes!

All raw black jeans are overdyed magenta

[Dick Danger]

In the 1% with 3000BKs, same but different.

In my opinion, black raws fade much nicer than blue raws but it would take more wear to make it noticeable.

[ChaseDizzy]

black raws don't know how to fade

[owl]

LAH, WUt?!

[lmaozedong]

i have a pair of flat head 4001bks. i've never seen worn pics of these--anyone ever see how these fade?

[PG2G]

The new 4001BK is a brand new denim, so there probably won't be any worn in pics for a while (unless flathead released some themselves).

[lmaozedong]

how about the old ones? my leather patch looks different so im guessing its the old version

edit:

found these googling if anyone was curious

[samlee]

Sure you guys have seen this before...

[demarco]

Ill send you pics in 6 months.
