    When should we go for the wash (2 months of 15 hours daily wearing)?

    Hello there,
    If we were wearing a pair of raw denim in tropical country, let's say like in Bali/ Jakarta/ Surabaya, Indonesia; for 15-16 hours a day, 5 days a week, are 2 months enough to go for a wash? Thank you

    Finally I did the first wash after 2,5 months. The marks were barely there. But I kinda enjoy the journey so far. Since I'm doing some work in Bali this month, I'm really considering to do a sea water soak/wash before go back to where I stay

    By the way, do you got pictures from your denim pre & after soak? I'm curious about the results of a sea-soak.

    Unfortunately I had decided not to do the sea-wash, but continued wearing them the whole month in Bali, though. Washed it when I went back to Surabaya. Just a hand washing. Ever since I have been wearing them daily about 6 weeks now. I can say now I'm pretty satisfied with the whiskers, and the honeycomb.

    I do jeans laundry, in Brazil, and I strongly recommend do not wash it before two or even more (if possible) months. In my opinion do it as late as possible... The whiskers will be anatomically pressed and wrinkled to your body, such as a fingerprint.
