@derek111 Tough call....probably my 21oz 888's. I really like my regular indigos, but my fave fades are these so far:

The 18oz vintage denim's definitely special though - I love the CPO with that fabric.

@WhiskeySandwich oh man, yeah those are unreal! Quite the collection. Stoked on seeing what you have up your sleeve next.

XHS evo

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia Those are looking great dude! The combs on those are crisp AF and i like how the hip whiskers even look like combs too. wear/wash count?

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich

Thanks man these are the fades that I am most happy about. 184 wears with 1 wash. Here are some clearer and crisper photos of the combs.

[WhiskeySandwich]

LOOK AT DAT! Those are chunky fades man i want summa those jeenz

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich I can't recommend XHS enough, especially since you fade other pairs so well.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia aw thanks buddy! I'd love to, but we'll have to see how things look around fall. I've got a lot in rotation already and have my eye on some F/W stuff

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich it's not super easy wearing 25oz in the summer anyway

@twin excellent job with the “old vs new” side by side angles. Those are the fades we all dream about!!

Beat me to it amigo

@Mizmazzle This way you can see the differents between the new and old Iron Heart

@Oaktavia Old & new side by side.

@twin I'm going to start in my second pair of xhsib later this year but I grew out of and sold my last pair. Regret doing that now...

[Oaktavia]

My pair of 634XHS on the left and my buddy Brent's pair on of 888XHS on the right. Both around the same amount of wear. Mine look a little wider than usual in the photo as they were fresh from a wash.

[Mizmazzle]

Proof!!! XHS is king!!

666-21 bought January 21, numerous washes, lots of wear
555-14 bought January 23, 3 or 4 washes, a lot less wear

@Tago-Mago the 21 fades so nicely. Love that first shot comparing the two

[Tago Mago]

@SKT thanks. I also have the 25 in the 777 cut and so far I’d 100% agree with your assessment. 21oz for me has the nicest fades. Too early to tell with the 14oz, will be interesting to see them develop
