        I have no experience with the 14oz but I’m a huge fan of OD. That being said the XHSib and the 19oz ib are both fantastic, so that 142ib should be in the mix too.

        Of those two I think it would depend what kind of long term look you want. Softer fades, go for OD, or for contrasty fades, the ib.

          I am thinking OD this time round purely because I love how the 526Lod and 178 I've got are fading

                    Is there any plans to do the Shinayaka denim in the SBG in future?

                        It’s a good shout though.

                          yeah thinking black tight jeans with a bit of stretch would be a popular option

                            Should shinyaka be soaked before wearing? I’ve worn mine less than ten times but wondering if I should get them wet now…

                              Makes no difference either way. You will gain nothing by it, so probably a pointless excercise.

                                  Do you think black/black jeans look better with or without a cuff?

                                  I know this is a deeply personal question but I'd like to hear everyone's opinion.

                                      I rarely cuff anyway and certainly can’t recall having cuffed black jeans so take the following with a pinch of salt… I’d say no cuff because the reverse will be very similar to the face of the fabric, so I fail to see the point.

                                        I've always cuffed my black jeans, I like how it looks with the selvedge ID personally.

                                        I gave my 555S-SBG a shot over my Wesco's un-cuffed but they ended up looking ridiculous due to them being slim throughout and flaring out at the bottom  😠

                                          I don't cuff much, but black on black does look good cuffed imo. The selvedge really pops

                                            Considering giving the 805s there first wash soon as they're looking a bit grubby. I've got my excellent BoB patch on there which has a white background. Am I right in thinking removing the patch and re-attaching is the best way to avoid turning it blue, or will it be fine/any clever tricks?
