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

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 hell yea these are coming along damn good too. That whisker pattern on the lap is crazy. You going to keep the wear counts consistent with the ib? It’s cool to see how they’re comparing- did you do a side by side?

@Oaktavia hell yea
Yeah the whiskers are the craziest on this pair. The UHR is so crunchy when new, it stays so stiff at its creases to create those fades. They are totally 3D when I am sitting and looking at my lap. Yep I am doing a 1:1 even rotation every other day. Going for another 100 each in 200 more days. Good idea I will do a side by side today.

@Oaktavia fades and creases looking so crispy!
-
@Oaktavia perfect fit my man. Everything is looking on point
-
@ShopatIronHeart any idea when this will return?
-
@Tago-Mago Unfortunately we don't have a date for the UHR restock yet.

So, here is my story which I know may raise a few eyebrows.
Bought my jeans in February. Soaked them. Washed them. Hated them.
Re-washed them at 90deg. Tumble dried them. Loved them.
However, the process completely destroyed the leather patch. It was, literally, like wood and eventually snapped in half so I cut it off.

@Vincent-Vega no I totally get this - makes a ton of sense. I have had this same experience with several pairs of jeans. These look great on you! What is it you like more, the color or the fit? Cuz washing hotter even just one time definitely can do wonders for unsanforized
