      @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.

            This will be my first year competing! I went with the 888s-UHR; they should arrive the day after Christmas. I'm stoked. I feel the competition will be a good way to keep me consistent on one pair (we'll see how the summer goes 😅), document the progress, and get involved in the community. I've been wearing the 21oz denim for a little over 3 years, and they're the best pair of jeans I've ever owned. I'm excited to see the progress of the UHR if it gets close to my 21oz, and everyone else's progress!

                  I’m torn as to what to wear
                  Have a pair of 21oz iron heart or a pair of 17oz pinion denim, the comp starts and ends in summer for me and if it’s anything like last year I’m not looking forward in any shape or form of wearing any pair when it’s 40degrees plus during the day

                      @Subprime I went with the ST version. I bought both as I'm a huge Imperial fan, but for me to wear the same pair—more or less—for a year straight, I need something slimmer overall.

                      Yeah, Tannery South did a great job. I'm not sure if I'll keep it in a pocket or not; I assume handling it every day will get enough oils on it to age it.

                        Looks to be more forum members entering Y4 then last year 😀

                        Can’t wait to see and follow everyone’s progress.

                        I’m going with another pair of IH-555XHS
                        Can’t wait to start 👊

                          @Jcaz6996 I managed to get a pair of these for the Y4 and was going to wear them but they can wait…

                          IMG_2869.jpeg

                          I’ve fallen in love with these instead. So I’m going to be wearing the bibs for a year crazy I know but should get some decent fades at the end of it.
                          Good luck everyone and have a great new year. 🍀

                            Second time in a raw for me with this time the 777XHS.
                            My goal is to never wash the jeans to see how they will fade at the end, last year was with a PBJ aisora and even I wore it 300+, it didn't manage to came pretty faded (the jeans were almost black at the beginning).
                            This time I'll try to bit the s...t out of it, motorcycle, mechanic, work...
                            We'll see. 😁

                                        @Gammaman Entering with bibs is awesome.

                                        @Jcaz6996 Nice, will be another amazing pair I'm sure.

                                        @gouki74 Cool, hard to beat XHS. Not sure I could go a year without washing, but looking forward to following along. 😲

                                        Decided to go with the SBGs in the end. This will be the year of black jeans.
                                        Not looking to win, but would like to reach at least 200 wears.
