    My first thought was to take part with the all new 21oz ib , but as they will not arrive in time I decided to
    start with the classic vintage 18oz. I really love the 18oz, and I think the biggest advantage is that it is
    wearable almost the complete year. We only have a few really hot days here and even then I normally wear
    long pants at work.

      I entered last year and crossed the finish line with a pair of Naked and Famous Elephant 8 21oz. I wore them 300-310 days out of 365 but didn't even make the top 100. I was kind of surprised…the way they did it was top 50 plus 50 more honorable mentions. I thought I would make one of the lists but did not. That is not to mention the abundance of excellent fades from competitors. I just thought mine would make the cut!...

      It was still fun to take photos and submit them with my friend who entered with a pair of 77721oz who lives in my town each end of the month. He ended up quitting 7 or 8 months though...

      I have an Indigo Invitational pin that I am willing to trade for something small if anyone is interested. It's a blue logo'd enamel pin that came with the Y2 shirt. Let me know if any of you are interested...

        @Oaktavia post a pic of those Elephants! I have the 8 too, but got distracted by some other jeans (IH no doubt) and didn't wear them past a certain point. I might go back to em eventually — I liked the denim.

          Maybe I should have waited to start wearing the stubby type 2 until April. Eh.

            Wow that sounds like a tough competition.
            I am sure your pair looked great ! As everything I saw from you so far.
            I have no idea how many competitors take part 🤔

              I've half a mind to pick up a pair of 666XHSib but man, the Texas heat that lasts basically all the way to (or through) October would make it tough. Plus I don't think I have the commitment to wear the same pair every day.

                Thinking of 25oz in Texas makes me start sweating immediately 🤣
                I will try to wear them as much as possible at work.
                And my others after work and on the weekends.

                  I entered Y2 with 555xhsib first pair of denim I’ve ever faded
                  Wore them 365/365 even kept a note of the amount of hours worn
                  Made the Top 50 but that’s as far as I got.

                    This is my pair of Elephant 8s from Y2.

                    They were featured in a Fade Friday last summer:

                        looking great , unbelivable that you did not enter the Top 100

                          I'm thinking maybe the photos I submitted were of lower quality than the ones I posted here but it's whateves.

                          When does this start? April? I will be cheering y'all on dudes!

                            Man @Oaktavia those things look great. I’d be curious to see the other photos that made the top 50. Call me cynical but I see a lot of people juking their Lightroom sliders — yours could’ve been too honest 😃

                            @Jcaz6996 I also would love to see yours!

                              I often wonder how much some photos were/are edited when folks take of their denim. I learned in my non-major photo class that if the viewer can tell the photo was altered, you've gone too far.

                                  If you use the natural light of outdoors on a nice day at the right time, the photos need no altering! Perfect example of this. Crazy as shit to me these used to be dark dark dark indigo/black. Nice work indeed.

                                    Looking back at it now there’s a few things I would change first do a initial soak.
                                    Remember the first couple of weeks were brutal. Waited 6 months before doing a soapy soak
                                    And washed 5 or 6 times in the year, would just hold off now and wash them at the end.

                                      What have you done to keep them "fresh" ? There must be a point when they start smelling, or not ?

                                        i soapy soaked them in the bath 4 times in the last 6 months going through the summer months they were a struggle to work in but never really got to a point where they  smelled .

                                          This is the worst they got with salt patches on the shins from sweating.
