@Oaktavia
looks different than the normal od I would say.
what do you think ? And it doesn’t look like it fades super slow
did you washed them already?

I think yes it looks quite different than the other OD. It does not fade as fast as XHSib but still does in a more dull way. Fades mostly only visible in bright sun whereas other denim usually look better in overcast ️

[Oaktavia]

@Daniel-San forgot to answer no they are unwashed ... the longest I have gone without a wash was 61 days with 777S21ib. I want to go longer this time. As long as possible as i always say hopefully I can get to 75 or more. I really want the denim to need a wash first.

[Oaktavia]

Dirty jeans...time for a wash?

[sabergirl]

I would say so! But it’s up to you, really. They look great.

@Oaktavia i would say no.. just stretch this legg as long as possible, spot cleaning.. or soak, i think when you drag this one along as long as possible you’ll get some really cool fades. At least that’s what i would have done if they would fit me

[Oaktavia]

Holding off for now just because the denim is so stubborn...it'll happen soon though.

64 days 4 dogs

I made it through the school year without washing them. Now I don't have to inspect and spot clean every little stain. No more worry about dog fur Klingons. I'll see how far I can take them before a wash. Gonna get em gross!

We share the private Potomac River access with the small forested neighborhood we live in but it is usually empty. Sometimes people ride horses around the area as it is an equestrian community too.

Pretty filthy

@Oaktavia
They look great!
Funny how these seem to like the direct sun to show the contrast vs the overcast conditions (have You taken those in such conditions?) that so much of denim needs to show the contrast.

[Oaktavia]

@Karol these were actually taken when the sun was behind the clouds yesterday. When the fades were more subtle, the bright sun revealed them. Seems the overcast ️ show them more now.

I started rocking mine a bit more, I now prefer the 888 over 634. @Oaktavia I will post up when I get another wash in

Hell yeah dude please do I am super curious what a wash does to 'em.

[BD81]

I have washed them once already and it didn't do a whole lot to em

That is not too surprising actually. How far along are yours? I'm rolling in on 70 wears.

[BD81]

I lost count a while ago haha I bought them a little over 18 months ago. You're a savage with the fades tho man, I don't do a whole lot in em besides chill, walk the dog or shovel snow....way to heavy for me to wear from late spring to early fall.

There's gotta be at least 70 days if not more but like I said....
