@Oaktavia have you done any fading projects on the IH 21 oz?

[Oaktavia]

@bluemantra yes I had a pair of 555 21oz but grew out of them and ended up selling them.

@Oaktavia I’m keeping these on rotation while I wear kaptial’s century denim this year. Might go back to the uhr next year

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco nice dude that's awesome

[Davids_denim]

@louisbosco these look great dude. Did I read you have the UHR too? I just did a year in those would love to know how the XHS compare.

[louisbosco]

@Davids_denim I've had a previous 666-UHR from the first batch of UHR made. Here's the link from 2017:

I can't say how the new ones will develop fades wise so I'm keen to give it a go in a 634 cut. However, between both fabrics, the XHS is feels lighter even though it is a 25oz. I would say it's feels much less warmer summer. the fabric for the XHS does feel more breathable than the UHRs

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco oh wow, this was before my time here. That is so cool you won the DWC. That pair looks amazing so I can for sure see why you were chosen. Stoked on UHR.

[louisbosco]

@Oaktavia Thanks. that pair was hands down the most favourite pair that I've worn in the past 15 years. I'm definitely looking forward to trying to replicate it for the 634..

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco I'll be interested in seeing fade update photos if you have the time.

[Davids_denim]

@louisbosco woah those are incredible!

Restock anytime soon? Thanks

[Alex]

@Galena418 Should be very soon

[mecken88]

@IronFart I think it looks cool! I like some stacks for sure. May I ask what size you wear in the pictures?

I’m really intrigued of buying a pair of 666 25oz for myself some day, just been thinking depending on size how they look with engineer boots. Don’t want them too wide or narrow. Trying to figure out the sweet spot

@mecken88 it's tricky due to the leg opening varying by waist size. My 555's look great over engineers but they're 38. My friend wears 32 and can't get them over his. Imo 8" is the minimum opening for engineers. 7"

This sort of has nothing to do with how they look with 666s, though...

The 666 works well with engineer boots, that was part of its design

[CosmoSix5]

@Alex the point I failed to make. That 555 is slightly narrower at the bottom and still looks good imo

[Luijim78]

@mecken88 I wear a size 28 and wear engineer boots with every cut, from the least suitable 777 and 555 to the easier 666 and 634, the Mr Lou in particular have a very thin shaft and are easy to slide through, I have some difficulty with the rough-out leathers which create much more friction and are not easy to slide.
