Nudie Fading Issue

[Augusto86]

Nine months and one wash;
why are my jeans pristine as
freshly fallen snow?

 

[BrettChaotix]

I see a little wear fade around the crotch but can't see the knees or the behind-the-knee wear - how do those look?

 

[advan031]

Cause you didn't wear them hard/often enough?

 

[denimdestroyedmylife]

curious about how frequently you've worn 'em

 

[Augusto86]

Once/twice a week.

Well, once or twice a week for 9 months is probably around 2 months of actual wear, so that looks about right.

As rose in winter
this gladdens my heart - the jeans
Will be worn further!

Also, didn't you say somewhere else those are Bjorns? Looser cut = less fading.

Bjorns are well faded
much older, and sandpapered
these are new Olas!

They look good for the actual time spent worn. You can see the color changing above the knee area. Will take a little longer, if you go with the current cycle.

No more sandpapering!

Wear your jeans more much harder and more bettah you will get the fades mine sucks...

bootcut ola fades
mellow stream without a crash
does not fade too fast

 

[Hand Tailored]

Is it common for people to only wash their jeans once in a nine-month period? Maybe I'm overdoing it

Which could explain why they wear more quickly than that.

And yeah, Augusto, at just once/twice a week, 9 months isn't a whole hell of a lot of wear.

Ola's are made with crappy denim.
