            You should be happy I had the guts to ask the question. Tons just assumed one way or another and moved on. And after your job description was thrown into the mix it was clearly legitimate. Nothing to be upset about.

                  I can’t decide to go for the standard comp this year or go for the repair route
                  Got 9 months to figure it out I suppose

                    @Brian I’m in the exact same boat, I’m gonna get repairs and sign up for repair anyways and just make the decision later 😂

                      @Mister_Brue haha I would recommend trying them - they’re invigorating, but to each their own and this is all just good clean fun 😃😃😃 thanks for nice words 🙌🏽

                      @Davids_denim much appreciated bro! 🤘🏽

                        UNDERWEAR IS OFF 😂 after not being able to choose either the IH-805 or the IHS-555-21 … I ended up wearing BOTH. Dude… haha… it felt amazing in the winter, and I felt as padded and indestructible as anything. I was also real curious as to how the jeans will fade underneath. For the first two months I had rehearsal for a musical, so every day we had yoga and dance, everyone else in tights and sweats and me in double-denim. Hahah… what a journey. There is NO Stretch in them haha…

                        When July came I couldn’t feel my left leg, and my right nut started to throb… so I was afraid I had got something bad… I thought what if I just don’t wear both jeans for a couple of days. And I felt normal again haha… so I’ve alternated a bit, but have tried to wear them every day together.

                        In conclusion if I’m honest I think denim need direct sunlight and water to fade. They look great! Put to see how little they’ve aged indigo compared to its outer layer… is also a testament to the master craftsmanship of IH❤️ and @Haraki-san. These jeans will last for years on end of daily use. I’ve thrown myself down stairs, slid down most slopes in winter, down roads, taken the stairs instead of the lift since January 10th:

                        316 days

                        1 sauna sweat soak
                        2 machine wash (40 degrees)
                        1 Atlantic Ocean swim soak
                        3 bath soaks
                        Snowsurf and mad amounts of snow and ice, and drying in the sun
                        Rockabilly fade-off dance with Johnny Daigo in Osaka

                        All with the protective IH-805 worm overall.

                        Thank you for sharing this journey.

                        Love

                            @Fades-for-future ah man thank you, I feel they are very gentle compared to other 300 days of wear. But love them for their individuality and they feel like sweatpants 🤩♥️♥️♥️ Have a lovely Sunday mate!
