Worse these jeans almost every single day for three months without washing them. So today, I'm finally giving them their first soak. And if you picked up a pair of this denim that I designed over the weekend, this will be a good tutorial on how to wash them. But first, let me give you a fade update. The most noticeable one is definitely on my back pocket right tier here. I'm getting this crazy polka dot fade because I have an ostrich wallet. So all of these dimples where the feather of the bird used to be, they're creating that fade on the pocket, which just looks crazy. There's some other pretty typical wear around belt loops, getting some nice butt fades. I'm really, really stoked stoked about the whiskering on the thighs. Alright. Now it's time to wash them. Okay. Step one, undo the cuffs. And when you do this, you're definitely gonna find a lot of dirt. It's gonna be a little gross. So just kinda hit them off, clean them all out. Alright. Now turn them inside out. Look how cool these are on the inside with the persimmon dye. First, you're gonna wanna fill up your bath with cold better. Add in some dark color safe detergent and stir it around. Put your denim inside out into the bath and give it a good agitation by hand. Next, put a few things in to weigh the jeans down. And every fifteen minutes, go back and agitate the jeans again. In total, I let these soak for forty five minutes. Drain the bath, shake them out, and then roll them up in a towel like this to squeeze out any excess water. Then just hang dry the jeans for a day. Alright. And here they are, freshly dried, feeling stiff as all get out. Better, like, a day of wearing them, they'll break back in and be soft again. And overall, when you're looking at the jeans by themselves, they look relatively the same. But when you look at them next to a brand new pair, I mean, this is where it really stands out. I'm really, really stoked with how these are coming in. So all in all, a success, and I'm super excited to see all y'all spades. And thank you so much, anybody who got a pair.
