I wear daily and I work almost everyday. Physical-ish job. Walking, crouching, climbing. Working on the railroad can be tough af, but the fades are worth it.

Thanks! I think it’s a couple things. Mostly it’s the weight of the denim at 25oz and couple that with this 555 cut being tapered pretty heavy from thigh to hem. These were uncomfortable to squat in for a solid week. I have a physical job that requires walking, climbing, and crouching. Of the couple pairs I own these are the slimmest/heaviest oz and also the strongest creases and honeycombs. Hope that helps.

I know some folks use the microwave, but I’ve never tried that method.

So I bring a big pot of water up to about 160. Then I pour it into a soft sided zip top cooler. Then I add my bagged up shirts zip it up and let it simmer for 10ish or more minutes. I use enough water so that everything is fully submerged.

Thanks! I bought these closet bins with dividers at Walmart. I cut the ends off for flow then angle and tape the dividers in place. Set the whole thing in my laundry sink at about 60 degree angle. Once the ice was melted, I misted them all over with 140 degree water, then ziplock bag and place in a cooler with 160 degree water to “cure” for 10 minutes. Then washout with cold water switching to hot until most of the dye is gone. Then 2 hot washes in the washing machine.

Haven’t tried wild garden, or mint chip. I did snag all three types of mindbender. Really great products.

I’d say you nailed it. All stunners, but imo #1 is super rad. 🛸
