@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.

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.

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.

[Oaktavia]

@caithangkhanh thanks dude and yes a broken in heavyweight denim jacket is great to have.

Hello guys, any chance of getting an ETA?
I was hoping for a release before the warmer days, but that is becoming unlikely.
Thanks,

[Oaktavia]

Two photos taken moments apart. Lighting changes so often with camera phones.

Sorry (not) about the photo dump. I'm really stoked with where these are going.

@tvaillant75 no ETA at the moment I am afraid.

Photo dump incoming...

!

Today felt like a good day to take some progress photos. Dusted them off and put them outside on the picnic table and the grass. Slightly different color variation going on depending whether or not the sun was behind the clouds.

Washed, repaired, and ready to go!
