110 wears 3 light hand washes. I’ll do a 21oz 3-way compare soon.

@WhiskeySandwich dude those are looking perfect! A lot more contrast than I often expect on a 21oz pair — keep that shit up!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@popvulture yeah more than I thought too, def in part thanks to the overcast lighting. Sometimes they pop, sometimes they look super dark still.

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich Hella nice photos buddy. I love the fades on those and the photos are nicely taken too. Three cheers.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia thanks homie! Overcast really is the perfect lighting for denim. Love how these have turned out. They took forever to start and now they’re really picking up.

@weftyarn Good gosh darn those are beautiful!

[weftyarn]

@WhiskeySandwich @GardenState thanks guys! It took a lot of patience but I love how they turned out

I haven’t been around here much recently, but thought I’d post these since I think they’re ready for retirement (the repairs have repairs, which also have repairs). Particularly love the roping on these. Hope everyone is well!

@LewisStonehouse welcome back - hope it’s not just a flying visit!

[Oaktavia]

@LewisStonehouse good to see you back on here Lewis. Have a new pair in mind now?

[LewisStonehouse]

@Oaktavia hey Stevie

I’m about a month into a pair off 888-XHS. I’ve been following your XHSib/UHR project, very cool ‍

[Giles]

Nice to see you again....

[LewisStonehouse]

@Giles Hi Giles - hope retirement is treating you well and you’re spending plenty of time at sea. The new grand Seiko looks great, my Dad has a similar watch

[Giles]

Plenty of time at sea, despite the number of gales rolling through. Hop to make it to IoW for lunch on Sunday... Fingers crossed....

Everyone mentions about getting true size on 888 cut.
I am size 34 on 555 cut which is 35.3" on the waist whereas 888 is 33.6" on the waist in size 34. This difference confused me to be honest.
Has anyone experienced the same size on 555 and 888?
Thanks.

@hepyek Interested in the answers you get as I was going to be going -1 size to account for the 1" stretch in the waist
