hmm...
so the usual "theory" hot soak washing out the dye doesnt seem to work for Uniqlo denim....

IIRC:
1. Indigo dye isn't water soluble
2. You have to wear it for 8months minimum. (That means everyday)

 

[skye..]

how long you wear it is up to you
i soaked mine at one month plus 'cos they were smelling like china after a steamboat trip
also, how hard you wear them is a factor too

most dyes are soluble in water


from first post of denim thread:

What are the different methods of soaking?
There are generally 2 methods.
Cold water soak
Hot water soak
Cold water soak
The jeans will shrink just a little and the colour of the jeans will remain quite the same.

Hot water soak
The jeans will shrink quite a bit, and the overall colour of the jeans will be faded (Due to the bleeding of the jeans). EG: From a dark indigo colour to a litter indigo colour.

Do note that the above results for soaking only applies to raw denim.

What are the different methods of washing my raw jeans?
There are many methods to do so!
Dry Cleaning
Machine washing
Hand washing
Sea washing
Dry Cleaning
Dry cleaning is a process that cleans your jeans using chemicals instead of water. As a result, your jeans will remain the same colour as just before you went it to be dry cleaned! Some people find this desirable as they prefer the raw colour of the jeans to the light indigo colour.

Machine washing
Personally I wouldn't advice this method as it is really difficult to control the outcome. This would be a general guide as to how you would machine wash your jeans:
Set the temperature of your washing machine to 60 degrees Celsius.
Put in the detergent, and make sure that there is no bleach in it. You could also choose not to use any detergent at all!
Be sure not to wash the pair of jeans with other clothes as it will stain your other clothes.
Take it out of the container and dry it inside out by airing it.

Hand washing
Simply fill a container with water. The temperature of the water will determine how your jeans will fade. ie: Hot water will result in a lighter overall colour than cold water.
Next, put your jeans in side and srub those stubborn stains/dirt/grime away. Take it out of the container and dry it inside out by airing it.
Sea washing
This method is generally for those denim heads who want to try something out of the ordinary.
Head down to a beach with your jeans on and go for a swim. 1-5 minutes will do.
Come out and sit on the beach.
Now, take some sand and rub it on your jeans, imagine the sand being your scrubbing tool to help you get rid of the dirt/grim on your jeans.
Head back down to the sea and wash off the sand stuck on your jeans.
Now, get to a near fresh water supply and wash off remaining sand in your jeans (front/back pockets).
Take it out, turn the jeans inside out and air it!

where u see on the site? can't find..

 

[skye..]

sry to be misleading.

the UJ site and tag on the jeans themselves say ALL MADE IN JAPAN.
selvedge can seen on the jeans themselves in stores.

the part on kaihara denim (which is used on most UJ jeans), is from the catalog they provide in stores.

sorry once again for the mix up.

 

[ocillator]

Have been wearing raw mij since feb.. Haven't seen a single bit of fade at all. Uniqlo raw and indigo is of true crap quality. I doubt the first wash will do any difference. If first wash can't fade, will throw away and buy APC liao.
