After many aborted attempts at raw denim mastery, I decided to get a semi-prewashed jean. I went to a local store and fell in love with Nudie Big Bengt Dark Crinkles, thrilled to find a jean that would fit comfortably over my bigass bodybuilder's quads and ass.
THE PROBLEM:
Unfortunately they only had 34x34's, which led to immense stacking. After having them hemmed. I think they're the best-fitting jean I've ever owned. So the FIT is perfect, but here comes the problem:
The knees of the jeans are pre-faded, with light patches over the knees. Of course, the jeans were purchased 2" too long, meaning the fade position is positioned too low on the leg. I've attached a pic of the problem - although my pair doesn't stack as much, the fade position is still too low.
It's amazing how something so trivial is driving me up the goddamn wall. I know that no one really gives a **** or will even notice, but knowing that my expensive otherwise-perfect jeans are flawed is too goddamn aggravating.
THE SOLUTION:
The indigo is very "loose" on these jeans and rubs off easily. Could I throw the jeans in a bucket and soak them, leave them overnight, and hope that the excess dye will fill in the front knee fades? I gotta get ride of these goddamn patches of light fading.
Help me goddammit, HELP MEEEEEEEEEE!!!
