      Thanks guys.
      Let's see how it goes.
      I'm planning on just wearing them more less every day, wash when needed and not doing anything special.
      But as a dad of two boys (3yo and 1yo) they will see a lot of abuse 🙂
      After looking around the web a little I found out that a lot of guys are taking serious efforts just to get the "best" fades.

              @gouki74 I had the same thoughts after receiving my 888 xhs. Stay strong for another 5 weeks 😃

                    @Fades-for-future nice! Agree, love the texture & feel of this denim. The lovely way it fades is a big plus.

                              I've been ruminating hard on which pair to go with 😁 A full year in the same pair is a long time.
                              I think I will go with these instead. Have been loving the 526L, dig how crisp, tight and hairy the 19oz lefty is. Need to get them hemmed though.

                                I started up a new Instagram account—Dyeing to Fade—for the Indigo Invitational that's just around the corner.

                                  Oh, and Tannery South (Insta​​​​​​​) is doing a fade log (Indigo Invitational) and it's free—you just gotta pay for shipping—using code "INDIGOINVI4" 😎

                                    I’m going with a pair of 666-XHS. Maybe I’ll actually finish this time. 😄

                                    Seriously, though, I like how it begins and ends in the winter this time. That seems to be ideal for XHS, UHR, 19L, and other heavy denim that’s not comfortable in the summer months. There’s enough cold/cool weather in the first 3-4 months for some good fade progress, and then you have that nicely broken-in pair waiting for you to fade some more in October when you’re yearning to put on heavy denim again.

                                    Since I want 2-3 pairs in a rotation in any given season am also not nearly hardcore enough to wear XHS any more than sparingly in the summer, I’m shooting for a modest goal of 150 wears this time. I treat the Invitational as a nice structured program to achieve some cool fades, with the added benefit of me not having to care about the competitive angst that comes with subjective judging.

                                      @BlueBlood I'm trying to get a grasp on how this thing works and I think i'll have a similar strategy. I don't have much interest in where i place in a competition, so much as I think it'll be cool to participate in progress sharing, which i tend to do anyway, but where everyone starts at the same time here. 150 seems like a good goal to shoot for, especially with some hotter denim.

                                        @WhiskeySandwich Yeah, I’m planning on sharing my progress here as well. I work a desk job, so don’t get your hopes up. 😄

                                          I finally got home and picked up my Y4 pair. I also received the Tannery South fade tracker too.
