IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black

Eventually it will. With enough wear. But that could be days, months or years. Just keep an eye on it. It’s all part of the game.

I got this pair and started wearing a little bit before the indigo competition so I stopped this pair. My one year is almost up and I’m really looking forward to getting these back into regular rotation. They’ve been my cheat days when my comp pair has been drying. Lol.

It’s as if these jeans have a “crossroads” point from what I’ve seen here and comparing my own ! It’s pretty crazy on how it develops depending on the use/washes/other factors

These are my riding jeans shy of 70ish wears and they’re barely starting to develop some high contrast fades & the threads are starting to pop up a bit under bright day light.

They’re turning brown/purplish too from wrenching on bikes. This fabric is just amazing

Zero washes or soaks so far but I did ride through an hour of torrential downpour which gave the right leg some twist

@Oaktavia, I checked out swissjeansfreak's pair of XHS on Instagram. 1000+ wears, and unwashed! The pair looks really impressive. And probably smells awful!

Sure, will post some pre- and post-wash pics!

Great looking pair @f12! They still have that nice raw denim shine to them, despite the rain.

@f12

Looking good..

@twin @Lowlander @f12 You guys! i love the look of your still dry Indigo x Black  ???. If i wasn't competing in the Indigo Invitational i think i would've opted to keep mine dry as well.. The beautiful dry/shiny look is unbeatable! keep us posted and i'd love to see a pair heavily worn and still dry.. I feel like @swiss-jeansfreak wanting to see "heaviest faded raw denim still dry 400 wear days later!!!"  Awesome job guys

I don't want anywhere near them!

[Oaktavia]

@twin looking fantastic. How many wears?

[twin]

@Oaktavia  I do not know how many days I have been wearing them. Would say around 200 days est.

[twin]

@alexswords  Just took a lot of fade photos. Will be posting them soon.

[twin]

Here you go LOTS of fade pics.

Nice looking pair dude! For sure each of the pairs on here are unique, with or without washes. I love all of the results and the fades are all one of a kind. It's a different sort of visual color and texture.

I've been wearing my new 555-01 and might be benching my 555XHSib early this year…

@Oaktavia  I am wearing them along with the 666 ducks and 666 SBG.

Nice combo!

[twin]

@Oaktavia  the 666 Ducks are the newest.

@twin:

@Oaktavia  the 666 Ducks are the newest.

I wonder how your 666 Ducks will evolve…

I almost purchased the 19oz Lefty jacket but decided for these instead. Needed something lighter than 25oz or 32oz for summer.

Might opt for the Lefty this fall but who knows!?

@Oaktavia  There are some fades on the ducks. Mostly on the pocket with the wallet inside it.
