Color Fall Myth 1
Selvedge＞Non-woven edge
Selvedge jeans must be selected for raising cows ?
Selvedge is the red ear/red edge that players often say. Its English name Selvedge is actually a self-made word derived from the two English words Self-edge. It is translated into Chinese as self The meaning of seaming. There are also other colors of edges, but because the more common fabric edge color is red, people usually use red ears or red edges to collectively refer to this type of fabric.
In the last century, the role of selvedge was to prevent the edges of denim from spreading. Now selvedge has become the iconic feature of retro jeans.
In terms of the craftsmanship and quality of the product, selvedge denim is not essentially different from other denims. Whether it is red ears or other ears, it does not mean that its quality is better. Its price is generally higher, but it is just because this fabric is a product of low productivity, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and high cost.

Red ears ≠ original cow, even cowboy experts may not understand these
How to choose high-quality jeans? You must first understand how denim is made
is the same in theory, but why do many cow farmers think that the quality of woven jeans is better than non-woven jeans, and the color drop is better?
In the final analysis, it depends on the style of the brand.
The brands that make selvedge jeans are usually re-engraved or retro brands. Both the quality and the details are more original design. And from spinning and dyeing denim to weaving and sewing, the brand will take into account all possible color fall effects. Non-seam brands often consider different types of end consumers, and will not focus on the players who raise cattle, and the color fall effect will not be the first consideration in the production and design of such brand fabrics. The non-woven-edge raw cow will show a rich blue hue after washing many times, but it is difficult to have striking contrasting textures such as whiskers, honeycombs, and water ripples.
Therefore, people who raise non-woven-edge raw cows may be more likely to get vintage colors. In fact, retro color fall and high contrast color fall are not good or bad, but together with high contrast color fall, retro color fall will be slightly inferior.

¥¥¥¥＞¥
In order to defend the value of high-priced jeans, most of us believe in an old saying: a penny Pay for it.
For players who are obsessed with color, starting with selvedge denim is the right choice. However, after the price is advanced, the rewards for players may gradually decrease.
A pair of woven jeans worth 2000 yuan will not fade faster or more beautiful than a pair of woven jeans worth 1,000 yuan. The former may have the meticulous craftsmanship that all players expect, but these details cannot be transformed into fast or amazing colors.
Many times, the people who spend money are just drifting along.
Of course, it is not easy to develop a beautiful color, it has a lot to do with the lifestyle of the wearer.
Summary: Beautiful colors depend on whether you are willing to invest time and energy, not money.

Dirty work＞Office work
Crazy player will Jeans are pushed to the extreme, they will work in garages, mines, construction sites and other places. The labor-intensive work can get beautiful color drop, but the life of jeans will be shortened.
Most of the remaining players are ordinary office workers, sitting in the office every day, the friction of the pants will be relatively small, and it takes a long process to get amazing colors .
That is to say, under the same conditions, the color fall of white-collar cattle is definitely slower than blue-collar cattle. Is the color fall effect of white-collar workers inferior to blue-collar workers?
Blue-collar players undoubtedly have the upper hand, but some white-collar players will do some intense exercises to accelerate the color fall.
If a white-collar player just replaces the office chair with a sofa after get off work, the color falling speed will of course be as slow as a snail. But if you ride a bicycle to and from get off work every day regardless of wind or rain, and wear jeans to exercise outdoors on a rest day, rubbing your jeans as much as possible, you can also get a bright color like a blue-collar player.
The following is a successful example. White-collar player Alex won the PBJ x Blue Owl Workshop last year. Although he started late in the competition, he was still ahead of other players and won first place due to his hard work in his spare time.
He sits in the office most of the day, but outside of work, he will take his When the dog runs outdoors, the jeans rubbing and fading unknowingly in the process. He used facts to prove that even if the conditions of office workers are unfavorable, they can still get beautiful colors through hard work.
Conclusion: Sedentary white-collar players must work extra hard if they want to get good looks.
Of course, if you don’t wantParticipating in any competition is not to raise cattle for the color fall effect. It is best to go with the flow. After all, each texture developed in this way truly reflects your living habits.

Is it easier for people who live in a hot and humid climate to raise cattle?
The same brand model, at the same time, players in hot areas such as Thailand, it is often easier to get amazing high-contrast colors.
Is climate really as important as we think? The following example is from Thai player Kang Jantrasri. In just one month, Kang’s jeans have a deep honeycomb pattern, forming some whiskers, and a gradual blue hue appears on the thighs. Most people need months to form.
But high temperature and humidity only play a part. The real reason behind getting these colors is that Kang takes comfort as the price. Kang would wear two jeans at a time when the temperature soars, one of which weighs 18oz. Also, he would wear them 24 hours a day, even to sleep.
For comparison, Stephen Snider, a player living near the Arctic Circle, his example fully proves that there is no need for sultry Weather and suffocating humidity to get color.
At first, the color of Stephen's jeans will be slower than that in other regions, and then he tried to spend a few weeks wearing jeans outdoors and even running in the snow. In the long winter hiking, jeans often freeze, and the frozen creases will rub against the snow. Stephen believes this is one of the secrets to obtain unparalleled color fall.
Conclusion: The above development method is very extreme For example, the extreme climate is also limited by the region. If we average players want to get the color quickly, they can try wearing jeans in the hot summer.
This article is only to point out some misunderstandings and methods of color development, and there is no need to deliberately imitate. There is no fixed pattern for raising jeans, and there is no standard for good or bad. Only by following one's own methods can you raise the "trace" of your life.
