Echoing @T4920, my biggest learning moment involved a brand new pair of XHS and a small child showing first symptoms of the Rota virus. That is to say violent projectile vomitting.
Having been drenched in puke I paniced and washed them without flipping, soaking or checking spin. The result was marbling and abrasion lines galore. I was distraught.
I put the jeans to work re-landscaping the garden (documented somewhere on here, I think at the start of the «Working in your workwear thread).
As a testament to their current glory about seven years later, that very pair were recently used on the IH Instagram as to promote the XHS restock.
@AdamJ maybe you have photo’s you could post? I’m off IG at the moment, otherwise I’d link.
