Naked and famous denim - Page 464

No washes as of yet on the indigo/indigo. I did do a short soak to get some bad smell out, they are my rock climbing jeans and I sweat in them a lot. 

The belt has been treated with mink oil....my dog also chewed on it a little

After washing them, I have been wearing them for around 6 months additional months. They are super super hard to fade... They fades are hard to see unless your standing in sunlight or if you see in person :p


 

 

do you have more recent pics? and was the later 6 months consistent? or also 2x/week?

No recent pics, but I have been wearing them pretty much 5-6 times a week. They are REALLY hard to fade....

I want a pair of the old Franks!! Not really feeling the newer ones color.

What do you mean the weft is clearly visible? I thought the 'alternating weave' was pretty much broken twill but instead of switching every 2 lines they do it in those huge sections. 

Correct me if I'm wrong lol cuz there arent many details regarding the franks

Does it make a big difference?
If my package is being squeezed in the 32 WG would switching to a 33 solve my problem?

you could try the WG high cut

since noone is following up on posting pics of their nfxbj, ill post mine at the 5 month mark!

(still look fairly new haha)


Do you guys think soaking would make the fading a little more visible?

if you want jeans to fade you need to wear them, I wouldn't even consider doing a soak on those NFxBJ yet mate. They are great jeans...Just go play a few games of football in them or bike around town or something along those lines
