Great video! Indigo x black fades always look gorgeous, and yours are looking great. Looking forward to see how yours fade throughout the Invitational! I’m right there with you fading a pair of Naked & Famous Elephant 12s.

Thanks for watching! I'll have to check out your N&F Elephant 12s as they're a really nice pair of jeans.

im on day 151 (0 wash, 0 soak) on a pair of RGT SK 16.75 slubs and this is first indigo pair I purchased. Im stoked to see fades already and whats coming from everyday wear. Keep doing your thing man! They look sick so far!

Dude great video! I've also been fading and Indigo/Black for the invitational but I decided to wash them 30ish days in because I want to go for more of a vintage look.

Thank you! Best of luck fading your pair.

if u start with a quick bath tub soak laid flat for 20 mins with warm water. u lose some starch and a little indigo making them not as stiff but stiff enough and u don't get as much dye everywhere in the house. i do it for all my raw denim has never failed me. keep in mind if unsaforized they will shrink 2-3 inches in legth and 0.5 inch in the waist.

Having a straighter cut jean (less tapering below the knee) definitely reduces the visibility of knee bags. I used to wear slim jeans and always had big knee bags since I had big thighs/knee stretching the fabric out. Also suggest avoiding white clothing with newer raw denim if you don't like blue stains, I switch to white once I've washed the raw denim a few times hehe.

Haha good thing my t-shirts aren't too expensive. Thanks for watching.

Really appreciate your videos, great stuff! Love the RGT fits and the cryptic denim in general. One nitpick - Indigo x Black is really not in the "black" camp of denim - it's firmly in indigo.

To fix your t-shirts, you can apply Oxyclean powder directly to the spots. Wet it, I use Oxy or Shout spray, and let it set for a few days. Spray them a couple of times per day to reactivate the powder. Then you can soak the shirts in a heavy Oxy bath for a day. Oxy is a slow bleach that won't damage or yellow the fabric. I'd only do this if they're expensive tees.

Thanks I'll give that a shot!

Nice video. I have a pair of iron heart 25oz 888 which is a bit loose on my waist. I soak it on hot water and tumble dried. Didn’t shrink much around waistline but but shrinkage on the inseam is quite noticeable

Good to know. Thanks for the tip!

@jzorro 5 ай бұрын

Just wash your whites separately in the washing machine on the hottest water setting with detergent/Oxi with a little bit of bleach. It will work every time 😊

@GradientJourney 5 ай бұрын

In this price range, I would say it's definitely worth it. My only advice to you is to switch between another pair of boots or shoes every other day to increase its longevity.

Don’t the jeans stink after wearing them 50 days straight and submerging them in snow

They haven't yet. As long as you let them air dry, it should be fine. I should note that I don't really sweat in them since I mostly work in the office.
