Getting better all the time @twin. You really know how to wear your denim.

I'm looking forward to seeing how light they end up in certian areas. I also hear XHS gets even more comfy after a few years?

Selvedge Sunday a day Late  ::)
7 months, 0 washes

[Oaktavia]

Here are my pair before a machine wash. Third wash but first with a machine.

@Oaktavia @alexswords both of you are doing great work. These two pairs have the makings of legendary jeans.

My 888-XHSib have finally returned to rotation. They are almost a year old and only have about 30 wears. Love the cut, love the denim but I just find it hard to pair with other stuff in my wardrobe. I started doing some construction stuff with them in the summer to accelerate wear and tear, and then sort of forgot about them. I'll be making a point of wearing them more often now and hope to have something interesting to contribute on that thread.

Definitely a goal to get some of that sweet honeycomb development you guys have got, as well as seeing more of the white coming through.

Heck yeah buddy! I just flipped my pair right-side-out this morning after the machine wash. I put them on when they were still a bit damp. Man, they need to stretch back out! Haha…nothing some lunges and squats can't help.

I'll update with post wash photos this afternoon. Even in my dimly lit room, I noticed more white areas have popped out after the machine wash. They feel super crispy!

My next pair of XHS will be a different cut. I dig the 555, but I would like some more wiggle room. Especially in the summer months. I've been eyeing the 666 or 634...that'll be a project for next winter.

@Oaktavia @neph93 Thanks neph, i'm loving the process. I would be all over these in a 777. hopefully they decide to make a 25oz 777 in either a double indigo or indigo x black.. fingers crossed anyway. cheers!

I would love to fade a double indigo XHS.

You’ve seen the 777 SBG that come out yesterday? «Only» 21oz but the SBG is the best fun to fade.
