      I'm big on eye contact though.  I think a lot of it is a personal thing too.

        The eye content scared the shit out of me when I moved to Norway, felt like everyone either wanted to sleep with me or punch me…

        This is why I never joined the military. That and I have a habit of laughing when people are yelling at me…

          I bet your wife loves that when she's mad and yelling at you.

            Luckily she’s pretty level headed - and knows my laughing is out of embarrassment for myself [emoji15]

                I make strong eye contact… To the point that in Basic Training, one of my Drill Sergeants told me to not look him in the eyes anymore, because he felt like I was challenging him.

                It's very intentional with me though. I do it to establish dominance, lol

                    Either that or he suddenly thought "He's got pretty eyes" and that scared him…

                      Could be that too, lol!

                                  Sadly, I'm just nursing her back to health…

                                  She got a stomach bug during her 23hr layover in Seoul. Ventured off to a shady local food shop for dinner, and the rest is history.

                                      So I know that the SB denim is reactive dyed and not supposed to fade, but does anyone have photos of a well worn pair to see if they do fade at all?
                                      I checked the fits and fades gallery, didn't see anything but I haven't dug very deep yet.
                                      I'm interested in the new 888SB that are in the pipeline (albeit they are a slightly different denim, but same concept), but I'm just curious what to expect.
                                      I would prefer the SBG denim but the 888 cut is really nice so I might grab a pair of these.

                                        My positively ancient 9301s are still super black! I’ve never held them up to a brand new pair, so they may have grayed out a tad, but they look very black, and certainly don’t have any fade pattern from wear like other jeans get.

                                          @Broark There is not a fits and fades gallery, because the reactive dyed superblack does not fade.

                                            Figured as much, thanks y’all.
                                            I’ve seen a pair of the reactive dyed black PBJs that did fade (ever, ever so slightly) and I was just wondering if that was the case here as well.
                                            Might have to wait for the 888SBG if that ever happens.  😉
