How To Make Denim Not Faide

[keykoo]

Weird question, but I love my Sorahiko's and the thought of them fading makes me sad.

Any care tips to make jeans fade more slowly? XD (besides not wearing them every day of course)

You mean "How To Make Denim Not Faide"

Dry clean don't wash. Thats all I got.

use pogo sticks to move from one location to another as opposed to walking. that way your jeans will never stress/fade anywhere!

I prefer the "don't move" method for my jeans. Of course my level of opulence merits a new pair of 5ep every day, so ymmv.

yay typos.

Wash them inside out.

1. Wash them as infrequently as possible (possibly dry clean)
2. When you do wash them, wash them inside out and use cooold water.

Washing them first thing will soften them up and the fade won't be nearly as dramatic, so that's the first thing I'd do. You might even use fabric softener, though don't take my word on that idea. From then on, dry cleaning would probably be best.

This is ingenious.

Somewhere I heard a soak in vinegar will set the indigo a bit more; however I would not try it unless i'm just flat out curious.

otherwise you could jus tnever wash your jeans and freeze/sun/air them out to clean them.

technically, wouldn't you develop pogostick like destressing where the indigo rubs off everytime you repel from the ground?

Buy 50+ pairs of raw denim like Drizzt, and alternate them so you're only wearing each pair 7 days a year.

buy jomons instead they'll probably last a lot longer without any noticeable fade.
