    @sabergirl maybe the ol' trusty pants stretcher will do you a favor.

      Have you ever used that thing on the thigh, @Oaktavia ? This is my problem-area. Waist is never an issue.

        Hmm...I bet it would work with some fanegeling

          @sabergirl I'm looking around the house for the pants stretcher to try it out on thighs. Can't seem to find it...I'll keep looking

            @Oaktavia I've been thinking about this and I don't know if a stretcher used on the thighs is a good idea. When you use the stretcher on the waist the fabric is one strip that is continuous around the waist of the pant and the weak point would be where it buttons.

            The stretcher on the thighs would be exerting force on two sewn seams and may put pressure where it's not meant to be put. I have faith in the skill and craftsmanship of the jeans, but I do worry that the pant isn't designed for that kind of strain in that area.

            Hopefully it makes sense.

              Quite a while ago I remember someone here dealing with a tight thigh fit & washing/drying their denim. You know.. everything may be a little loose but the thighs could be a problem with shrink.

              Anyhow - their solution was inflating a couple of those rubber balls you used to have on the playground back in grade school. The idea was to put them in the thighs after a wash/still wet & pumping them up.

                @goosehd that seems to make sense. I couldn't find the stretcher anyway.

                    This all sounds like more work than I’m willing to put in 😂. But thanks for the ideas, my friends.

                          The sun brings out the fades. I want to go as long as possible (for real this time) without washing these. I think with this unique denim, that would be the best plan. The longest I ever went was 61 wears with 777S21ib, which is nothing compared to some no wash faders out there. I want to go much longer than that with these, but time will tell.

                            Oh wow impressed by those pops of electric blues coming out of these! These seem to shed ink faster than OD?

                              These are my first OD from new, so I have no frame of reference. It does remind me of when I was fading my XHSbb and was told by folks that they would be super slow stubborn faders. They faded quicker than these though I would say. The MB are like velvet; you can swipe with your hand one way and the other while one way shows indigo and the other deep inky black. It's wild.

                                These are proving to be full of unexpected surprises. I did notice the “velvet” quirk on both the 14oz & 21oz versions which is quite a neat feature. Hope you’re able to keep them unwashed as planned. The way your fades are heading, you’ll have some mad hues of various stages of black and blue all over 👊🏽

                                        @Oaktavia I'm awaiting new photos from You in this thread every day!
                                        I do love my IH-888-XHSib but the MB is next level and its sad that I saw earlier statements that they will not be remade. The reason for it eludes me. If there were plenty in stock and not selling I could get why not do it again, but the link below is not even pointing to store, they are absent on secondary market and it is not a collaboration where the consent of other party is needed (like in the Pronto thread).

                                          @Karol LOL I am a huge fan of LOTR and that made me chuckle quite a bit. If it makes you feel any better, the XHSib fades are insanely beautiful when well worn. They are a super special denim IMO and one of the best of the bests. I would take a guess that the MB was a difficult denim to make perhaps, but pure speculation. I say that since it was dunked into two different ODs. Seems like extra work compared to others, but I really don't know why it is no longer made either.

                                          Anyway, I am glad you are liking the photos. I'll post more often now that you said that.
