      @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 😬

            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 ?

                              I’m off for the rest of the week so I’ll get it done.
                              Think they need to go in the washing machine just super nervous about it only ever hand washed denim.

                                What do you loose if you fail or forget to send your monthly pictures of your fade progress to Indigo Invitational? I missed to update the picture for the last month and this month.

                                  You could email them explaining that you missed submitting your monthly pictures and send some over they want as many contestants to finish so I would of thought there let it go ..

                                    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!

                                        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.

                                            @Jcaz6996 how did you get on with the first wash? I used to worry then now I lob them in the machine on a quick 30 spin, it won't do them harm and they'll be much nicer to wear without the grime  😃

                                            The devil is in the detail..
