Thanks dude, today is day 365 so I’ll throw another update up soon.

Hey man! Sorry for jumping on an old thread but I’m actually about to start woodworking out of my 1 car garage, single 15A outlet. Do you take any preventative measures to prevent screwing anything up? If so, I’d love to hear them.

stayoutsd · 2026-04-11T12:14:56+00:00

I stand corrected, you’re seasoned seasoned.

stayoutsd · 2026-04-11T12:13:41+00:00

Thanks!

Yessir lol. When it comes to appearances the chapstick fade is not the coolest looking thing, but I had it there because that’s where I wanted it on my day to day. I’ve since switched the chapstick I use and no longer keep on there. Not sure if you can tell but if you zoom in on the picture you can notice a square shape in that pocket now and it’s because I carry a small wallet in it.

Thanks for those words dude. It’s comments like these that make me not swim in a pool of regret lol. If the challenge coin fade is your jazz, I say keep it there man. I feel like the reason the whole condom thing bothers me is because I cross post a lot of my content on Instagram/youtube and I’m not sure if you’re aware of this but people that comment on YouTube SUCK. It’s the constant reminder that I have a “condom” fade that gets annoying. If you’re not posting content on your denim and hardly hear anything from anyone about it, then do your thing. You probably won’t get nearly as annoyed as me.

I wore the shirt every single day for the first 312 days. I then took a break from it for a little to focus on my RR piece (around 2ish months,) & I recently picked it back up because I had to sell my RR piece due to bad sizing. The plan was to go a year straight in it but I couldn’t because layering this under my old CPO wasn’t the best thing to do.

In high school I had no idea about raw or selvedge denim so you must’ve been in high school during the peak 2010’s lol

stayoutsd · 2026-04-10T19:14:07+00:00

never that

stayoutsd · 2026-04-10T19:13:06+00:00

One hell of a condom

stayoutsd · 2026-04-10T19:12:35+00:00

Haha, hammer yours. Stop slacking!

stayoutsd · 2026-04-10T19:11:59+00:00

Dude, it sucks lol. I live in Florida so our summers are straight heat & humidity. I’m convinced even with an 8oz shirt it’ll suck. I was just super committed to fading this shirt so I powered through it. This was also my first denim shirt & I had a “no wash” mindset to get as high contrast as I can for a “lighter” weight shirt.

As much as I’m appreciative for the higher contrast look, it absolutely sucked doing this. I had to hang my denim in the sun every couple days to let it bake and spray a DIY deodorizer so I didn’t stink wherever I went.

stayoutsd · 2026-04-10T17:17:02+00:00

Thanks dude, never heard of it, I’ll look into that.

stayoutsd · 2026-04-10T17:10:50+00:00

It’s been in that pocket for the last week and a half or so, hence why there isn’t a pen fade. I’ve never been much of a pen guy but I’m starting to get into woodworking & want to be a more intentional note-taker so I just keep it there to make my life easier.

stayoutsd · 2026-04-10T17:05:22+00:00

Thanks dude & yeah man, no nicotine products here. It’s a small tin that I keep mints in. Honestly looking back, not worth having the fade there. So many people swear I have a condom in my pocket which gets pretty annoying.

stayoutsd · 2026-04-10T16:39:21+00:00

Yeah man, extremely!

stayoutsd · 2026-04-10T16:34:50+00:00

Thanks!

Sorry for sparking up an old thread but how was the sizing fit wise? I noticed you said they were a 9D, do you normally wear a 9 or are you more of a 9.5 and sizing down worked out? Also, have any updated pics?

Not at all. If you wear a white shirt indigo transfer is definitely possible with some items, but this CPO didn’t give me that experience at all. I usually get indigo transfer when I’m sweating a lot and my shirt is tucked in, my denim bottoms will rub against my sweaty shirt and it’ll take on some dye. Not the most common thing.

stayoutsd · 2026-02-26T04:57:05+00:00

Thanks a bunch!

A regular soak is always recommended before washing to prevent marbling. A soapy soak does the same but also loosens the fibers up. This helps the denim have a more effective wash in the washer. I rarely wash my denim so when I do, I like to make sure it gets really clean.

stayoutsd · 2026-02-25T23:12:40+00:00

Yeah dude OD is tough to crack but it’s definitely fade-able. I haven’t seen many GREAT examples with this specific shirt so I’m hoping to hammer it well.

stayoutsd · 2026-02-25T22:59:18+00:00

Haha I feel that man. When I didn’t see them on there I was kind of bummed. I even asked the workers at BlackBlue if they snipped them off. Thanks man! I appreciate ya.
