Nope, given the arcs, 301 of some sort….

Lots of evo in 2 years (though the sun exaggerates…)

Some folks don't like sunny fade photos but your photos have rekindled my attention to that sort of lighting. It looks more like a highlight than an exaggeration IMO.

Thanks @sabergirl! Just to be sure: I haven't worn this combo for two years straight–but I do wear these pieces a lot, esp. in the fall/winter.

I know! It may feel a bit like cheating somehow, but the it does add some drama. I always loved what @alexswords did with the late afternoon sunlight in his photography, but unfortunately I've not seen him around here for some time now…

I agree and now I'm motivated to take some later!

P.s. I don't think it's cheating…after all the sun does not change the fades, rather it showcases them. Cheating would be sandpaper!

@Lowlander Good one and great fades on the jacket. Looking at your snap, I still have a long long way to go with my 666 XHS that I have been wearing non stop for the last 2 months and it shows no sign of surrender.

I don't know if this has any true merit, but from my experience with XHS it seems to take forever until it starts to snowball.

Cheers, @the246guy! I think my jeans have about 250 days of wear on them. But I think the XHSib fades quicker and to higher contrast than the regular XHS.
