      I'm in it for Y3, but went with a different brand and a lighter weight denim.

      I went with the matcha denim from Okayama Denim X SDA.

      I have to admit, i do still admire the pair I wore for Y2. I still wear it once in a while and I LOVE how they turned out.

      Here's to hoping that the judges will put more consideration into vintage fades. I had every hope of holding off on the first wash until the 6 month mark in Y2, but baby pee and poo ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

        Looking at this Y3, I think they go of the jeans look rather than vintage… or maybe votes

            These look real good Rueben…cant wait to see what you and the others do with their respective entries this year.
            Mine should arrive next week but I think by then I will have missed the deadline.
            Nice choice with the slub

            Going with a total new cut for me. The 888S 14ib
            Looking forward to giving them a spin once they get here.

                Thanks for that @the246guy — looks like I’m in the clear

                  Looking awesome Reuben 👍
                  The 634 suits you extremely good , almost looks like a boot cut which I really love.

                    Thank you! The combination of big thighs and stacks makes that happen. I left the inseam on these even longer than usual, but they’ll calm down with wear.

                      to leave them a bit longer was a good idea 👍 I think
                      I noticed a lot shrinking in length on my 634 slb after first wash .
                      30 degrees machine wash with 800 rpm max , soaked before they went into the machine.

                          I saw your pair on Instagram an thought what a good choice 👍
                          Natural Indigo was on my list too, but finally I chose the 18oz vintage

                            I’m pretty excited to see how these go. I had the 555N many years ago and had to move them on as the fit wasn’t great. The denim is lovely. The stubborn fades are slow to come but then boom… it starts pouring out. Should be a perfect pair for the contest, not least given how you wear jeans.

                                Entered with some 888’s. These are a lil roomier than expected and probably won’t get me the super sick fades. Nothing wrong with the fit, i can just tell it’s not “honeycombs for days” kinda fit.  I’ll get fit pictures later.

                                  how's it going fellow competitors?
                                  wear my pair very  consistently , only on Sunday I wear what I want  😃
                                  no wash, no soak . a bit dusty but not dirty and no smell.
                                  so far very pleased with my decision to take the 18oz.

                                        It is starting to get tougher with wearing the XHS. Was disassembling some furniture today with the XHS on. After a while it started to become unbearable. But I was determined not to get them off. I'm noticing that the XHSiB is picking up more dust compared to the XHS. May be the black weft's presence makes it more prone to dust.
