    Ok, So I'm going to drop some crappy pics just because.

    I couldn't find my digital camera.  So they are crappy cell phone pics.  I did get my cell phone working again, after 8 hours of pissing around on the internet and help from a friend.  Basically, the 6p is an 8 core cpu that has two clusters, and one of those clusters has a habit of going bad, so after a new bootloader, new recover and new OS and having to deal with a bunch of crap because the recovery is locked due to… well whatever. The phone works, but it's basically crippled, running on half of its cores.

    So, I lost all my initial soak pictures and standing denim pictures in the crash.  I'm posting these crappy pictures to hold over till I find my digital camera, basically because they are dropping indigo so fast.  They have gotten an initial soak, and two more for a total of three so far.  They will get another one tonight, which I'm sure they will bring another color shift.  I can see color movement in the combs and a little in the whiskers too.  I've never see anything like it, I wonder if they will have any left at the end of two years.

    Sorry about the dust on the pants, there was dust on the table.  Also, sorry the pics were taken in haste and I think the camera focused on the table a lot.

      I'm thinking about going with either the IH-888's or Oni's secret black denim.  Anyone else thinking about going with a black pair?

        @sabergirl:

        It'll be interesting to see if the winning bidder actually pays.  My bet is they'll be back at auction within a week.

        probably a few forum members having laugh on  the seller.

        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
        Well, I have others.

          I'm so glad to see your wearing the Pronto 25ozers, @fanya! This way, I can see serious evolution on 'em, and project forward to what my pair might look like in 10 years.  😃

                I'm going with the 888's, but I did just put in for the ONI black denim preorder.  They look amazing and I don't have any black denim at the moment.  I would normally not suggest black for a contest pair, but if I did ONI would get high marks.

                  Thanks for the vote of confidence, they definitely won't get the wear that they would have if I was still skydiving but I'll wear them everyday until I can't and do my best.

                  I've always wanted a pair of the Beatle Busters in the black fade to gray denim but I never got the chance to get a pair, I always thought they would be interesting to see a pair worn hard and faded for two years.

                      Just wait until you feel how soft those get after a few months.

                        I'm looking forward to it… they're so infused with starch, and are so thick it's like wearing sandpaper. Lol

                          Yeah that's the sizing. You can dampen the backs of your knees and lap and wear em until they are dry the first couple days to use the sizing to your advantage.

                            2 weeks, 1 day, 4 soaks.

                            I got bruises on my hips from the last couple weeks, every time they seem to soften up a little I do a soak and it is right back to bruise city.

                            Just got done with soak 5, I did some leave vacuuming Friday night (ya, I know how to party), and that was/is a dirty dusty mess, so I consequently was a dirty/dusty mess.

                            (sorry about the dog hair, German Shepherds do that)

                            Leaves, oh the tip of the iceberg, just wanted to get up the first big batch as it is supposed to raid for 4 days here.

                            Close ups, you can see some of the dirt and dust embedded in there

                              I've just submitted payment, first contest. I think I'll be wearing a pair of 634 OD I purchased at SELA last month although I may change my my mind last minute, looking forward to it!

                                @fanya Just wondering why you soak it so many times? (curious  🙂  )

                                  I was wondering the same thing, but everyone has different methods I guess… He's got some amazing honeycombs showing already, so maybe he's onto something?? (That is one area that never developed well for me in the past)

                                    @fanya , I have a Husky/ German Sheperd mix so I feel the pain of constant dog hair. I barely wear my ISW-23 as it is the biggest dog hair magnet known to man  😢

                                      Just pinged out the Paypal so one of you lucky folks will get my $$ when the contest ends. This time I shall be failing to fade some Momotaro 0205TN 10th Anniversary jawns. Soaked once and worn a few times, pictures to follow when I can get my ass in gear.
