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

@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.

@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,

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.

[caithangkhanh]

Washed, repaired, and ready to go!

[caithangkhanh]

@Oaktavia Honeycombs and whiskers galore!! Loving the progress on yours.

[Oaktavia]

@caithangkhanh your pair looks stellar! This really is the most amazing type of denim to fade.

[caithangkhanh]

@Oaktavia i completely agree. This denim is awesome! I’m not sure which denim to go with next.

100 wears since Halloween which was coincidentally exactly 180 days from yesterday. These have now been hand washed and are hang drying. I plan to do the same with my 888UHR today.

@Oaktavia I just got a pair of these last week, and half the reason I wanted them was A: I wanted to try 25oz and B: I'm obsessed with seeing your updates on these! Am I correct in saying you've had a few pairs of these? I saw you got paint on a pair iirc...

Thanks for sharing dude!

[Oaktavia]

@Jord hey dude- solid choice on picking up a pair of these. They are IMO the absolute best denim IH makes. Yes, I have two pairs of the 888XHSib and in the past I had a pair of them in 555 and 777. I'll update in a few days when my main pair of 888XHSib is dry and I have had a chance to reset the creases.

[caithangkhanh]

@Oaktavia super crispy! These are fading beautifully.
