@WhiskeySandwich I know a few folks on here have expressed their love for XHS so I won't reiterate other than pointing out that out of my seven pairs of IH, four of them are different XHS iterations.
I am actually leaning more towards the 18oz CPO. None of the shirts I mentioned are new to me either. I have some nice fades already started with the 18oz so maybe that'll be my go to.
-
@WhiskeySandwich not that you need to be in any kind of rush, but I feel like if you love IH, you absolutely have to check out a pair of XHS at some point. Not to be missed!

XHS is amazing. I tried some and wasn't as into them, thinking it wasn't for me. Eventually, I realized it was just the cut that wasn't my jam. That said, though, I do think I like 21 more than the 25. And I am loving the all year round wear that I'm getting out of the 17oz natural denim.
As said above, I have way too much than I can really wear to see all the fades. I tend to really just focus on 2-3 pairs at a time, and rotate shirts in and out. Can't wait for it start getting cooler here so I can get back to wearing more than just my IHSH-13's over a tee.

I've nearly committed then chickened out on the XHS several times now. I just keep finding 21oz to be the most versatile denim for me. I'm sure one day when i'm satisfied with my current pairs, i will pick some up. I even got a 25oz coin bag to test handle the fabric lol. I can def see myself wearing some for winter outdoor work, or even in the office. But it's gonna be hard to beat all my 21oz pairs for effortless wearability. 18oz vintage is a fave too. Maybe once i have a minimum hundo wears on all my other pairs.... next year? also depends on the seasonal releases lol
-
I'm really the same way, trying to focus on a couple pairs of jeans at a time — I try really hard to just stick with one, but I do like mixing it up. I've realized that shirts are sort of an area I don't wanna focus on much anymore unless I see something that absolutely blows my mind, because frankly I really just wear t-shirts 99% of the time. If I lived somewhere cooler, it'd be a different story (sigh, dreams...).
If I lived somewhere I could wear heavy jeans, a tee, and a leather jacket all the time, I'd be the happiest dude ever haha.
-
if XHSBB came back, I'd get those immediately. But i'll probably hold off on the indigo since i'm loving my current rotation.
@popvulture i hear that, i usually just wear a tee too. and if its chilly, the flannels are just more comfy than a denim shirt. but my 18oz and my 33-blk are super comfy too. Just defaulting to comfort is my excuse lol. As far as a leather jacket, I'm just waiting for the unicorn hide that checks all my boxes. It'd have to be truly perfect, but i realize that's not likely. -
@WhiskeySandwich I tend to think you can't get a truly perfect leather jacket, BUT... you can get damn close.

@popvulture @WhiskeySandwich @chrisjohnnick @Mister_Brue @Oaktavia @Mizmazzle I had a hard time figuring out where to break the random question from the random conversation...I moved everything to here.

@pechelman Touche. I had a difficult time trying to figure out where the conversations veered off course from the original question re: the overdyed flannel to the conversations that ensued in the random questions to which you seek an answer thread.
To make things easier for all of the participants involved, I moved the entire conversation to the random conversations thread.
This hopefully will be a better place to continue those discussions.

Since I never met a thread I didn't derail, maybe I should just hang out in here all the time.

Okay I chose the Untucked 17oz duck CPO for my main shirt this year. After seeing @twin's recent photos of his heavily faded 666 duck and how far he pushed his honeycombs, I was hugely inspired by his fades. I want to see if I can fade my Untucked to the level that shows 'combs and fade lines after heavy wear the same way denim does. So it'll be XHSib (starting Halloween), the 140 Type 1 and the Untucked for my pants, jacket and shirt favored faders this (school) year.

I loved catching up on all that, thanks guys
@Oaktavia @popvulture @WhiskeySandwich it makes me happy that more people on this lovely planet of ours share the same brain as me and plan months into the future what they will be wearing 
️ -
@Oaktavia oh yeah, damn, i see em now... I always feel like my Ducks will never fade, but it sure looks good well used. I'm wearing my 888D right now and have yet to wash. Gonna keep these going primarily rotating with my 21oz indigo. I'm def going for some tough fades on these ducks. I'm not super huge on high-contrast, but I'm going as high as possible on these - as mild as it may be. Psyched to see your work on that Untucked. Gonna be a good look man.

@DeeDee85 Def, its interesting to see a 'plan'. even a loose one. I try and pick an item or two to focus on or gravitate toward racking up wears on in a given season, but I keep a lot of wiggle room for variety.
-
No worries at all @Oaktavia i genuinely enjoyed reading about everyone’s “methods”
@WhiskeySandwich I have been trying to concentrate on 1 pair of jeans, 2 or 3 shirts and 1 type iii through the warmer months and will switch to heavier stuff when it cools down. I’m going to put some miles into my kersey western this winter..
