Re marbling: yes it has a tendency to marble quite easily when machine washed. But not as bad as the denim from the Denim Bridge contest. 

Last day at the beach. Cold and windy

Drying in the Texas heat. Still not seeing much marbling on my pair like some others have noticed.

Great page of nicely fading jeans... well done gents!!

Clearly I'm ages behind... as I whimsically flit across my jeans rail... I think my best chance is if you all burn out through overwear and overwashing leaving only threads in June 2026

I recognize that jacket @MJF9 looking good! 

[MJF9]

Ahhha yes indeed @fabes I saw yours looking pretty good!! I like the FW 30s denim. Mine came OW and has not touched water yet... I'll hang on I think and see what happens

Envious of you lot that can wear denim jackets in June!
These spent about 8 hours in the Texas sun (chilly day here, only 91 F / ~32 C) and they're bone dry now.
Starting to see a little marbling pop up. They'll go back on the legs tomorrow.
