      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 😆

        I think they look fantastic…and they’ll only keep getting better. Thanks for inspiring me with my 21L’s. They’re about done too and I’ll post about em in the appropriate thread. On to the heavy fall/winter weights!

          @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 👌

              Not sure the 555 was ever made in the OG 18oz, and the fading looks vintage-y to me

                  The patch proves that yours are vintage, then. @T4920

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

                                    Maybe a shade, but not drastically

                                        Looks still pretty tight in the top block mate 😬
                                        How many wears?

                                          @Daniel-San only worn a few times for a few hours. Feels better than it did and hopefully a bit more stretch to come
