How did you get the name faptronic CMF homme?

[beatle]

I think it´s a personal thing he and hap have going ....

200days; 1 greentea soak 1 wash 1 coffee soak

before coffee soak

leave them in the bucket for an hour, rinse once then hang them to dry

so do you notice the difference?

ps. i try my best to get the actual color and they are pretty much similar

[beatle]

mhh, I don´t see that much, but I bet it was fun to do it

[kayodic]

of course you dont see it, you have to sniff sniff beatle... i love the coffee smell...

experiment is fun indeed.... i'm just curious whether i can get amber/brownish cast on these pair, maybe i should do it regularly.

[Atzec]

i recently spilled espresso on my denimes and it left a pretty dark stain. maybe you should soak n a bucket of espresso? i´d rather drink it, though.

[saintkeat]

Next time use some Luwak coffee =)

Great job on keeping it fresh though, would rep but gotta spread.

[kayodic]

definitely the higher the concentration is, the darker they will be, well i didnt put too much coffee in the bucket tho' and as i said before, i just love the smell

[rnrswitch]

kayodic,

For that coffee color to stick, you will really need to get some decent coffee beans, grind them, and make a highly concentrated batch of coffee.

You might want to try some different types of teas. There are some teas that create a dark orange color on clothes after oxidizing. Not quite sure which ones.

[kayodic]

noted Sir... thanks for the input, maybe i'll try it next time.

[robbie]

cool experimentation kayodic, you might try making the coffee in a french press. It always seems to stain cups, might work on jeans too.

[kayodic]

cheers robbie, the thing is i might come up with something else other than coffee but we'll see...

Try to dip in the mud, maybe if you're lucky you'll get the result near the Pure Gold. LOL.

My Fh3001, a soak and 2 washes, almost 2 years now. In rotation with 2 other pairs of denim. I love these, they are my favourite pair.

My Artist denims got an unexpected rain soak from biking through an epic storm yesterday. I've had them since December so they were in need of a wash anyway. Here are the results:
