It’s been a year since I bought my Pherrow’s 466 and they’ve undergone some incredible transformations as a result of wear and washing since then. I washed them a second time about a week ago with some Samurai soap from a friend. The soap is quite similar to the one I used during the first wash. It’s very mild and rinses off easily. I experienced minimal indigo loss.

After washing I dried them out in the sun for a couple of hours. They don’t get washed and dried very often so they needed a good amount of exposure.
