@Jcaz6996 Ah.... man.. that makes so much sense haha.. next year! My pockets are totally covered by the phone... looks like I have a miniature Han-solo in carbonate in my right one...
-
Ahhh, man i think slowley the denim comes alive... Guess the main part why my SBG isn't fading faster is that i can wear it only 6 hours a day but i'm happy how they evolve so far...
-
Decided to go for a first wash. Longest I've ever gone without a wash, by far, at 115 days.
They were getting that slick/greasy feel which I can't stand. No smell though. They also have the beginnings of some crotch blowouts, which is quite unusual in my case. Worn through the back belt loop as well. Seems clear to me (and seems to be common knowledge) that wearing a pair for this long without washing takes more of a toll on the denim.In the machine now. 40C, no spin, inside out, with some Woolite Dark. Did a fairly long, warm soak first, trying to avoid marbling if I can. The water was surprisingly clear after the soak, and no funny smells
Here are some before pictures. Will take some after pictures tomorrow.

@JunkPants these look awesome! curious about the weight and tried to zoom in on the patch…very cool to see a collab with s.o.p. Keep burning
-
Almost 4 months old. Still holding off on washing. No soaks no mercy!
-
@olblue Thanks! These are 21oz SBG, essentially 777S-SBG by a different name (BS69xSOP420).
Your pair is looking great! Keep holding off if you can.
I caved, haha
-
@JunkPants they’re looking fabulous, great job!
@olblue Man these pics make want to grab some XHS as my next pair
here’s my 4 month update
-
@JunkPants thanks brother, 21 oz SBGs are definitely on the want list. Love heavyweight black denim
-
@weftyarn these look great
love the 888 cut. The XHS have been such a blast. It’s honestly my first pair of bottoms from IH. Got my eye on these black beauty’s though 
when they go they’re gonna go -
@weftyarn Thanks man, same to you!
-
@olblue The SBG is great, and easy to wear year round I find. Highly recommended. I dig the black denim look as well, all the way from brand new to totally faded out. (Check out @beef_bonanza 's pair in the 555S-SBG thread).
And XHSbb is awesome if you can find a pair.Truth be told though, as much as I dig the SBG, if I had to do it over I'd go with XHS/XHSib. Not quite as practical perhaps, but more fun imo.
-
@olblue These are looking great dude!
-
@JunkPants case of mistaken identity I think, I don’t have any SBG denim
-
@spleef_oner Sorry! Meant @beef_bonanza
(How I mixed that up I don’t know
) -
@JunkPants no worries!
-
Update on my pair, their Preety grim now and can see the filth in them. Think it might be time for that first wash, what y’all reckon?
-
@JunkPants so much fun man! I know it’s madness but next year I had my eye on the 12 oz wabash bibs. Just for fun
-
@jiminstitches thanks buddy and back atcha. Love the fading you got going on
-
@olblue Go for it, would be very cool to see. Love the IH wabash material.
