Congrats, I think they're going to be great. A wash will bring them in nicely.

[cricca]

@Oaktavia alright fuck it, I'll keep em soaking them right now and hoping for the best

[cricca]

Alright, much better

[Oaktavia]

@cricca bingo

[Oaktavia]

75 days of wear

[tvaillant75]

@Oaktavia at first glance I thought it was your 25oz IB, maybe this is the light

Looking very good

[Oaktavia]

@tvaillant75 haha nice that's good though that means you see matching fades. Been wearing them every other day for 75 days each.

Getting used to the bigger thighs compared to 555, but the waist is too big I guess ...it really irritates me that the ass is hanging like this all the time.

[Oaktavia]

@cricca From the angle of the photo, I don't think it looks bad. That is how jeans seem to sit on some folks. Not do downplay your thoughts, but I wanted to throw some encouragement your way. Looks good form my perspective.

[Mizmazzle]

@cricca I agree it doesn't look bad at all. This is kind of how the 888s fit, unless you have a lot of thigh and junk to fill this particular trunk.

Sometimes I look at photos from the rear of my 888s and am shocked that the front can look so slim and clean but then the back seems a bit frumpy.

@Oaktavia great stuff. Is this the pair you picked up in Gosport?

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago yeah man! Went all the way to England for these.

[Oaktavia]

Up in a backyard tree.

[tvaillant75]

@Oaktavia still unwashed like your 25oz IB?
It's great to see them fade side by side and note the subtle differences.

Yeah man, both have only had an initial hot soak and wash to remove all shrink before wearing. Neither have had a wash since, at 93 wears each today. At 100 wears each, I will take side by side (literally) photos to really see how each are looking comparatively.

[Oaktavia]

Sand in my cuffs.

[Oaktavia]

101 wears 1 hand wash. Hard to photo this denim. It looks more washed out in the last two photos and more contrast is evident to the naked eye.

@Oaktavia beautiful…I think this may be the fade “sweet spot” for me. Thanks for sharing pics with us
