Fading of one wash denim

[spacemanvt]

I just got a pair of PRPS barracudas that i believe are one wash (def not raw) and was wondering what the possibilities of the fading them will be... they are very dark but are very soft and don't seem to be bleed much indigo if any.

I can get indigo to come off when i rub wet fabric on to it though, but it is much more difficult than typical raws I have had.

what do you guys think the fading possibilities of these are?
If they will not get high contrast fade then i will prob return them.

Indigo jeans fade constantly, it's just raws lose a lot of indigo on their initial wash.

I can't testify to the dye used on those jeans in particular, but I would say you can still get great fades out of one-wash jeans.

i think sugar cane has at least one style of one wash. but yes, they will fade. all denim fades

Well seeing as how you have to soak raw denim before wearing (thus making it one-wash)..... YES

Then you're going to end up with disproportioned and weirdly placed fades when it ends up shrinking as well as have dye wear off on most surfaces. Have fun with that

Not when it's sanforized...

yep

either WAY, I've dealt with BOTH, and YES ALL JEANS WILL FADE DUE TO WEAR.

If it isn't permanent indigo, I'm pretty sure they'll fade

. If you haven't noticed, almost every brand has one wash versions of their jeans.

WTF is wrong with the back pocket?

one-wash vs. raw in sanfordized denim are pretty much the same.

except for one being washed once

truth
