      @AdamJ:

      @bob_z thanks, not sure. I'd say probably around 10. Think I got them towards the end of 2017

      They’re looking great. Still sad I missed out on this denim. Are they still in use?

        @neph93 Since being about 10kg lighter than when I originally got these, they are too big for me now  😞

        Will likely need to be moved on

          Bought these 3 1/2 years ago this month. I'd say they have 2 1/4- 2 1/2 years of daily wear at this point. Just got some needed repairs and a wash. I keep the bottoms in a quadruple cuff, and it's interesting to see how little indigo loss there is down there. In general, they're a bit lighter than the photos indicate, but they're just as contrasty as they look here.

                    Thanks. @Giles, these jeans are almost too damn durable!  😃 I see cool new pairs coming out but never end up getting them because a half dozen patches after a few years ends up getting them right back and ready for another 6-12 months of abuse.  I still have a pair of 555 25 oz XHS-IB that I bought just over 2 years ago but haven't worn for more than maybe 90-100 days because these 18 oz 555s just won't die.

                    It's interesting to compare to other jeans I've owned. The longest I ever had another pair of jeans make it before I switched 100% to IH was a 19 oz Samurai 710. Here they are at retirement at 2 years, 1 month:

                    My 18 oz 555s have 3-4 months additional effective wear, and they're not even close to that trashed. There are dozens upon dozens of patches in those Samurai jeans, and they're still that decimated. On top of that, there's basically no indigo left. At this current rate, it would take me probably ~3.5 years total effective wear to have my 18 oz 555s that worn out. And, in something like 6 pairs of "high quality" selvedge denim before these 555s, those Samurais were easily the most durable. Don't even ask about how long Oni lasted for me.  ::)

                      @cander49 clearly the denim competitions need to be at least 3 years long. F'n A 😄

                          Thanks guys! I love the fit and was really stoked on the 18 oz fabric, so it was super easy to keep wearing them regularly.

                            @cander49  Im all like "whaaa? , how "?
                            Ive seen lots of beat up denim on here but dude…how do you wear holes THROUGH the legs above the ankles??
                            Is that where they were cuffed?
                            Did they get caught in a bicycle chain?...both sides ???
                            iVE heard about wearing things till the wheels fall off, but man...the axle is dragging in the dirt with these.
                            Bravo

                              Hahaha. Those holes have always been strange to me. All my jeans eventually get them there on the crease of the cuff. I don't drag the cuffs on the ground and rarely ride a bike (I'm a runner, and that's enough time as it is). So, not totally sure, but I blame the crease!

                                When in doubt –"blame the crease" some solid advice man!
                                They are unique and make them totally yours!

                                      Always love the old jeans / new shirt combo. Definitely some more indigo loss compared to last post.

                                            Very nice @AdamJ. This is such a beautiful denim. It always cheers me up whenever someone uploads a fade pic here.
