It is hard to capture it with the iPhone camera in artificial light, but I tried. @spitfiredealer

Any suggestions, @Giles / @Alex ?

Wash again and throw in some red crayons.

I don’t think they look so bad,actually pretty cool. Just keep wearing them. Kind of a hybrid vintage/contrast fade.

[spitfiredealer]

I would just wear them hard mate and you won't notice in time. I wouldn't be thinking about dyeing them as they really don't look too bad

[Alex]

@Cole you could definitely try to redye them, but you may still see some white coming through, although a lot less.

I think that's the marbling you'd typically get when washing denim. Same thing happened to me with some indigo denim and now it's unnoticable

My pair went like that after the first wash and I was super careful (30C, 400rpm spin). I just started wearing and washing them regularly and it evened out.

Wear em and it will even out

It doesn't even look that bad in the pics, though.

Most of my jeans end up looking like that at some stage @Cole , it does even out over time with wear. Then again, i’m About as careful as @neph93 is in the sack when it comes to washing my jeans

I ressemble that insinuation. I’ll have you know that some of my children were planned.

So are some of my denim washes.

Anyone get spray insulation on their denim? This crap won't come off easily. Rubbing, sand paper, Razer. Nothing works without taking a bunch of Indigo off or damaging the denim.

These were before I washed them. You can see the spots down low where it's the spray insulation, sucks.

Better pic

No way that is coming out without serious abrasion and/or solvent use. Both of which will be leave a visible mark and damage the fabric. I got some all over a pair of heavy Blåkladder work trousers from seven years ago. They’ve been used heavily and washed to death. That stuff looks like it did when it went on.

I’d wear the crap out of them anyway. I have a pair of 555N with wood glue ground in at various spots. Still wear them and not just for working in. Wabi sabi.

On my way to buy black textile dye. Before this incident I could have worn this jeans at work with a dress shirt. Now that is out of the question. I hope the dye will cover this mess good enough.

Mate they look quality. But your choice

[neph93]

Agree with SFD that’s a nice pair of SBG denim^ I would invest in a new pair of SBG or Superblack and use those ones as everyday gear (actually that’s exactly what I did do [emoji1]).

[Peterpiper]

^^watch how you dye them. I used Dylon machine dyes (several by the way), which obviously requires to use a washing machine. Turn them inside out.
I dyed my 76 and although I’m happy with it I got crease marks on the arms because I forgot to turn it inside out
