Happy to hear you're on the mend @erockisalive.

Thanks everyone! I was very lucky and only had mild symptoms. My family and I have no idea how we got it. We work/school from home, get groceries delivered, wear masks, never go out or see anyone. It's been strange and stressful and hopefully behind us.

hi! senpai here!

I did the first wash

I washed it with boiling water without using detergent.

I used dryer for 30 minutes

seam puckering is thin

There was a little hole in the wallet button

Let's enjoy together without losing to

covid-19！

I washed again yesterday! I haven't processed the photos at all, but I think the camera and the lighting combined have added to a tiny bit more contrast than IRL. The color is somewhere between the photos where I wear them and the close-ups. Still loving these a lot, the texture is close to perfection.

As promised yesterday, a quick post wash update. Not much progress as we’ve been in lockdown for about 60% of time of the contest. Hopefully will change for the better soon(because of the world...not my fades...)

皆さんこんにちは！みんな素晴らしい投稿です。

@かめい先輩更新ありがとうございます！マンリーな雰囲気。

@ mandel9000フェミニンでクリーンなフェード。

私はカメラを手に入れました。

夜に部屋の照明で撮影するのは好きではありません。

実は日光が当たらない場所で直接写真を撮りたいのですが…特に気になることはありますか？

@mandel9000 Fit is perfection!

My pair at 125 days. One initial hot soak, and one scrubby bathtub wash at ~120 days. I like to wait longer for the first wash, but wash more frequently after that. Looked like I dismembered a smurf in there.
They certainly don’t look this contrasty in person, guess it’s the lighting and the phone camera. I’ve got a small section that’s pretty slubby on the right thigh which I tried to capture- feels almost like a mini PBJ, but only in that one place.

@andrewrose holy shit! these are so cool

[djungelorm]

@andrewrose These look great! I hope mine look like yours after my first wash.

[cottonskinblues]

@andrewrose I feel threatened right now. Looks amazing.

[Uncle Karl]

@アンドリューローズI've never seen this!

Got two horses to be pals with our lonely donkey. Spent the day getting Hansel and Gretel acclimated with Caesar.

Haven’t post an update for a while but here they are fresh out of the washing machine. I guess I’ve washed them about six times. Not as much evo as many other pairs but I quite like how they look. I’m a slow fader and it’s still a long way to go in the competition  

The pocketbag with black wabash is totally destroyed but I don’t want to send them away for a new pocketbag so I’m just going to watch it fall apart haha.

SUPERrep to every pairs on this page ... the heat is ON!

The result of a small back pocket and constantly carrying a dog toy in my back pocket. It’s quite easily mandible but I think with this pair I’ll only fix wear and tear that could make the jeans impractical. 

[Frost]

Not much fading going on, think I'm on three or four washes now. Only noticeable if you compare it to the much darker jacket (only washed once). Needles / TCBs / Hoka One One

It's 40ºC today, so they're not going on my legs any time soon – not as crispy and marbled as some, but they reflect my lifestyle of constant frottage and frequent washing.. 7, 8 times..? probably more...

 

 

[kenko]

 

wear it like 5 days a week.  One soak, then straight up no wash for 3 months.

Two hand wash so far.  

Just like some members here I like to build up the whisker first then just wash them whenever I like...

Indigo chain stitching with union special machine, love the wonky selvedge. CSF level achieved lol.

Didn’t get to wash ‘til yesterday . . . Woolite Dark,  cold machine wash+dry X2. Got another  1/2” shrinkage off the length, now at 31.5”

 

No filters . . .  Taken outside with **same crummy iPhone XR   as light snow started to come down.  Gonna be wabi-sabi from here on.

Went to the coast for the weekend. Usually go clamming this time of year, but the toxin levels are currently too high. But I guess the bivalves are happy about that. I may be looking west over the Pacific to Japan, but I am more likely to be looking at Russia. I had a campfire last night, but the jeans seemed to have repelled any smoke smell.

The thread almost got relegated to the second page!

Took my jeans hikin’, admired some lichen

[Dr_Heech]

Always had a likin' for some lichen (or is it an itchin' for some lichen?)
