      888RE at around 5ish months of wear. First real wash will be today. Sorry for the subpar pics, it’s super dark outside ☔️

      Dark, or not, it looks like a damn good start to me.

        Anyone else still wearing these? It’s been a hot summer here, but we have about a week of temps in the 80’s so game on.

          Your pair is looking good, Matt! I’ve been wearing mine a lot this summer. Gotta go for comfort, these days.

            I’m wearing mine right now.

            Initially I thought they were going to be fairly fast faders, but they’ve dug their heels in and are proving otherwise.

              I agree. I saw small changes pretty quickly but they seem like they’re in for the long haul.

                        I have about 8 months of wear on my pair and I’ve noticed a pretty rapid break down at the hemline. They dont hit the ground so I’m a little confused why it’s happening. I wonder if it’s just the nature of the denim?

                        I am thinking I should start a small cuff to keep them from unraveling? I’m not sure if a hemline could be darned or if my tailor would have to bring the hem up (which I dont particularly want).

                        Still love this pair, I just want to rock them as long as I can. They are starting to give up their indigo and the darker weft looks great.

                          I think it is probably because the cotton fibres in the RE are relatively short….

                            1 year old pair, although worn approximately 150 days. I found myself reaching for these jeans a lot during lockdown as they’re so comfortable. I think general inactivity has stifled the ageing of the fabric (except on the left thigh where I sit cross legged at my desk  😃 ), but I couldn’t be happier with this pair and how they’re developing, I’m looking forward to the next 150 days

                              They look lovely. The 888 is a brilliant everyday denim cut.

                                  @neph93 it really is an amazing cut. Can’t quite believe that I needed to convince myself to hang on to this pair ~1 year ago - the high rise was so new to me that I thought I’d got it wrong. 1 year on and I’m looking forward to the next year in them.

                                  @hoppy_IPA thanks man! There’s something really satisfying about denim that gives up it’s indigo slowly. There’s a magic day where you look down and see all this texture and depth that you hadn’t really noticed. That was me today, hence my sharing!

                                    I sent my beloved TW-666N off to @popvulture which made me sad.  😞

                                    But then I bought these brand new 888s from @dB and now I’m really happy.  😉
