Really great fade,just the right amount of contrast. My favorite kind of fading.

I would like a little more contrast, but I'd rather have clean pants.

I'm really Old School,so I tend to gravitate more towards Vintage fades.

Would you consider these vintage fades? Or somewhere in between?

[Jett129]

Definitely a hybrid/in between,best of both worlds fade.

I fuck with that for sure.

I always look forward to seeing your updates @Oaktavia . The fabric has so much character! I just hit the 50 wear mark a couple days ago and washed mine. Subtle fades coming through!

out walking the dog before the lockdown. it's been a little depressing getting up and getting dressed with nowhere to go lately.. i wonder if sitting on the couch for days on end will have any impact on denim evolution..

What I find most interesting about this pair, Alex is that a few months ago, our fade progress was about the same. Now that I have been washing mine more, we are starting to drift apart as far as appearance goes. I haven't been wearing mine daily (until recently due to quarantine), and you're about forty days ahead of me.

Your fades are rich with contrast and are crisp and sharp, while mine are more fuzzy and blueish. I can't get enough of watching them evolve. It really is a fun time for me sitting on my couch here comparing the two. A year from now will really tell show some differences, I think…

Have you washed your pair yet/do you plan to? I think I have about a month of wear before it gets too hot in Maryland for 25oz. Maybe in a different cut like the 888 might be bearable, but with the 555 they are soo so skinny, once I get sweaty its just not fun at all.

I just got a pair of 555-01 in the mail today. They will be my summer pair for sure...but wearing them now makes me want to bench my XHS today lol.

I just cracked a beer.

Cheers.
