      . 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.

      noticed this with my IHSH-295 , seems to be a ib thing 😄

        @Daniel:

        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's going. Not one missed day so far. Not worrying about the fades right now, unlike some folks in the facebook group.

          first month almost done 🥳
          to be honest I never worn a jeans that long without washing 🤪
          but it’s absolutely ok, and I now want to wait with washing as long as possible!
          now that’s how they look right now

          don‘t forget to submit your pics !

              Yes every month 👍
              You get a email where you can upload your pic, same as with the raw proof. But this time upload is fast 😂.
              Check your emails, I got the email yesterday.

                  Been slacking on this pair cuz fit got too baggy from stretching and/or losing a few. Sending them in for alterations. So far got about 2 weeks wear & 3 washes in.

                          Cheers bud definitely feel these fade quicker then the XHSIB last year I wore my pair under waterproof bottoms for a couple of months in work because of the weather 🌧 and I didn’t do a initial soak so I think that gave them a slow start. These XHS initial soak out the way and I’ve just been wearing them what ever the weather .
                          Hall of fades have to see mate 👊

                            Think they fade quicker in general when soaked or washed before wearing,at least thats my experiece.

                              No problem this year.
                              Prefer XHS

                                I wore these for about half of April. Love them (more on that in a bit), but they're currently sharing leg time with my XHSib. And I think I'm going to retire my 19 oz Samurais and replace them with a pair of standard model XHS, so that'll make my winter rotation even more crowded.

                                Obviously, I'm not expecting to place anywhere in the Invitational (I like wearing a jeans in a rotation of 2-3), and I instead use these contests as a framework and source of motivation to get 120+ wears on a slow-fading pair of jeans (such as these 21 oz). These will have that nice lived-in look next March.

                                I have to say that while I think that the XHS denim is more interesting, fades better, and is better to wear in cold weather, I still think that the OG 21 oz has the best combination of comfort and practicality. If I could only own one pair of jeans, it would be a pair of 777S-21.

                                  XHS great for the cold weather haven’t worn thermal bottoms working on site in 2 years now lol , not the greatest when the summer comes .

                                  Your pair starting to take shape @BlueBlood looking good.👍

                                            However they don’t do the slub justice… up close there are things occurring:
