IH-555S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Slim Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
That's a wrap on my first season in these..
Four months wear, fifteen washes.
They've held their colour a lot more than I expected them to with such regular machine washes, but I plan on putting them through the ringer again next summer!
Just love the subtle slub and texture on these, glad I had the opportunity to grab these for a great price from @George-Homme to do this experiment that went against my innate desire to rarely wash my jeans

@T4920 They look very different from my 18oz vintage, but your wash routine has really brought out so much of the crosshatch texture that I love about this denim. It makes me want to wash mine more.

@WhiskeySandwich in all honesty, they may be the original 18oz... bought them pre-owned and as far as I can see, both used the same leather patch...
Maybe @Giles could weigh in?
Either way, I agree that they look amazing

@aimes No. This denim fades fast.

@aimes fades kind of like this...

@october-rust me too, the proverbial denim dragon I'll be chasing until the end

@Alex Thanks Alex, it's hard to tell in the photos, but these are more on the lighter blue side?

Stretched out a bit
