@Oaktavia Have to agree with @twin the stacking is really looking good. I'm letting my SBGs and 21ODs stack as well and am happy with the results. Of course you know those XHSibs look fantastic with those New Balance as well sir!

Thanks man, I think the size of the hem on the 888 is great for stacking. Those NB have two of my favorite colors and I love how it looks with the medium grey.

@Oaktavia Yellow and purple? The yellow in the shoe definitely ties into the hem on the denim really well

[Oaktavia]

@GardenState turquoise and purple, my favorites.

I love these pants

[twin]

@Oaktavia Love the look of your pants / 888s.

[Oaktavia]

@twin thanks dude, you and me both seem to love the XHSib quite a lot.

These have been worn for one year straight with just the initial soak; no washes. Typically at this point, I’d just give them a soak with a mild hand wash. I decided to try something new and threw them in the washer on no spin cold wash, after an hour-long soak.

The lighting isn’t ideal, so I’ll try to take some more pictures in natural lighting. I’ll be sending these off to IH for some repairs. In the meantime, I’ll be switching gears to the 888-SBG

@caithangkhanh perfection. Are these before or after your wash?

[caithangkhanh]

@Oaktavia

D’oh! I should’ve clarified. The cuffed is pre-wash. The uncuffed is post-wash.

The fact that you weren’t able to tell the difference speaks to how bad the lighting (and my photography skills) is.

I’ll take some pictures in natural light sooner than later.

@caithangkhanh They are looking very nice. A fade job well done.

[caithangkhanh]

Here are some more photos under natural outdoor lighting. These were taken from my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I tried uploading some taken from my Fuji X100V, but it wouldn’t upload.

These are more accurate than the previous photos I uploaded.

@caithangkhanh 10/10 perfection

[caithangkhanh]

@Oaktavia thank you sir! Coming from you, that means a lot. Your process and fades are epic!

[twin]

@caithangkhanh They are looking epic. Keep on rocking them.

[caithangkhanh]

@twin thanks! That’s definitely the plan after I send them to IH for repair. Although I probably won’t wear them as heavily as I did for their first year.

[twin]

@caithangkhanh Very welcome.

[Oaktavia]

75 days of wear

[caithangkhanh]

@Oaktavia those are some crispy honeycombs! That jacket looks great too. I’d like a broken in jacket like that one day.
