Indigo Invitational Y3
-
@RoxRocks86 no hoping to get them repaired in September.
No different wear patterns mainly because last year being a noob not doing a initial soak and just wearing them for 6 months before soaking them . The FR & rear Rise must be different as XHS fit a lot better XHSib are a bit tighter in the crotch so wore that out , no problem with XHS apart from the cuffs.With doing a initial soak with this years pair I put them on damp walking around the house up and down the stairs they formed patens that stuck when they dried.
I soaked 555s- UHR Sunday so starting wearing them after work tempted to start rotating the both pairs and start wearing them to work what do you think?

@Jcaz6996 Have you measured and compared how different the rise between your XHS and XHSib’s are?
I wear denim while they’re damp to set in combs and whiskers as well. But mostly for lightweight denim. I find that they don’t hold their shape as readily (or fast enough to my liking) as heavier denim and definitely did that with the N’s at the beginning of the comp. It kind of gives me peace of mind seeing how they might possibly evo, lol.
As for your idea on adding UHR’s to your rotation, how many days a week do you think you’ll wear them? You’re quite active and your line of work is ideal for great fades so it’s not like your comp pair will remain stagnant in the fade department. Take what I’m saying with a grain of salt as I can’t honestly wear the same denim every day for a year, but imo, having an additional pair to wear will 1. keep the itch of wanting to wear something else (UHR in this instance) at bay, 2. Help with the longevity of your XHS, 3. It’s no secret you’d fade UHR like a badass & we want to see it! Of course no pressure

I haven’t measured them I’ll take a look over the weekend
My XHS are gross now 110% washing them on the weekend they even feel disgusting to put on.
think if I was go start wearing them I would continue until I see progress with them or I continue with the XHS and throw the UHR on the weekends and evenings.
Just bought 555s-19L too
-
think I will wash my pair for the first time too ::)
they are pretty dirty and a bit sticky after 4 month -
ok last pictures before the first wash.
gave them a 1 hour soak before they went into the machine. 30 degrees special jeans program with 400rpm spin and extra flush to make sure all washing powder is gone.

ok, that’s how they look now . Little disappointed, thought the combs would look more significant after the first wash. The patch got pretty dark and that with only 30 degrees washing temperature. waist shrink was pretty much , didn’t expect that. I had problems to close the top button
But I am sure it stretches back in just a couple hours.
What do you think ?

It think you can’t enter the Top 50 when a monthly update is missing. -
@the246guy
It think you can’t enter the Top 50 when a monthly update is missing.I don't think with the progress that I have been making, I will end up in the top 50. The weather here is unforgiving and giving me a hard time to wear the XHSiB. Few years ago, I was eagerly waiting for the Summer season to arrive and now I hate to see Summer. Fuck this heat!

@Jcaz6996
no need to be nervous mate , soak them before and keep the spin low or if possible without spin.
never had a problem with washing my jeans in the machine.
I think the most important thing is to put them in soaking wet. -
