      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.

                      Yeh definitely agree Y2 first couple of weeks were brutal in the XHSib
                      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.👍

                                    Much like most other folks, my first month submissions were unexciting…


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

                                      Washed or soaked?

                                        No wash or soak in these pics. In for their first wash as I write.

                                            Hmm I'm thinking about entering my 1955s that I have been wearing for about 1-2 months now. I know they have one wash and I will get a few of the Fade Logs from Tannery South in the mail today. That'll help me keep a more accurate log of wears and washes. On the days I dont wear the 55s, I will be wearing my 634SLBs that I should be getting this week or next back from hemming. How long will Y3 last?
