@neph93 I truly appreciate that! Photography is my creative outlet. I put my 888s in the closet while trying to focus/beat up on the 555s! I totally agree that these jeans are for the long haul.

I totally enjoy your pics @neph93  so please keep them coming. On today’s pic I loved the vest you wore. The color in that pic looks tops in my book. I guess I’ve never seen that vest in real life; wonder how that color would llok up close. Sure looks beautiful and paired up nicely with shirt and jeans.  8

Are those ur romeos?

Felt like they hit another level of broken in/comfort yesterday. Having a 1 year old, been getting these things constantly worn hard just against the carpets, haha.

Yes. You're better off tagging me because I am getting into my busy time at work. I don't check every thread.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Exactly 25 wears on these. They are magic jeans.

Drop of bleach on the cuff..  Shazbut!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Oh God. I would snap the fuck out if that happened.

[Paul9221]

I would freak out if I dropped a whole pouring of bleach on them but that little spot is alright.  It has more character!

The other day I noticed a hot sauce stain on my PIH5DCT.  I initially freaked out, but then I realized that living in these things is what makes them ours, you know?  It's what gives them life and character, like Matty's bleach stain.  Ain't another pair on the planet like yours, Matty!

(I preface by saying that I’m not doing that annoying thing where I say that something shouldn’t bother you as though you can consciously control what bothers you.)

I’m with @Paul9221.  I’m actually quite fussy with my shirts and that whole wabash CPO thread has me itching. But strangely I feel the opposite about pants. Even in my mostly desk jockey existence I’ll go out in the dirty shop and kneel down, or wipe that black machine dust on my pants. I don’t like to look slovenly of course, but a stain or scrape here and there on pants doesn’t bother me.

I’d say bleach is the only example of a time I would be careful of my jeans. I wipe greasy hands on them every day, and just chuck them in the washer when they’re dirty. Bleach spot is part of the journey, now!

Thanks Guys. Yeah I’m cool with it. I’d prefer it didn’t happen but it’s all good. I kinda like it… interesting how it only changed the color of the black weft threads!

Ha!  I hadn't notice that, that is neat!

[Jordonf9]

I know the black weft has a big part of seeing the fades, but it's crazy how fast these are going…. probably get some nice fades in about 2-3 months haha.

Yea these are dumping indigo on my rough out boots and that’s from the mostly non indigo side. Super excited to see those first wash pics come in from everyone.

[Jett129]

Same thing happening to me with my 555s.

Agree on the softening up - still stiff, but spending a lot of time with kids feels like these are softening up a bit, but yet still feel stiff. Can't quite explain it.

[Jordonf9]

I'll prob wash mine in 2-3 weeks. With the kids food droppings and the road grim on my car rubbing on the denim, will need to wash em earlier then normal. I almost never wash my denim, haha.
