          130 wears today with just one soapy soak at 100 wears. I don't really count a soapy soak as a real wash. They just made soapy denim tea in the bathtub. But it does help me prolong the time I wait to throw them into the washing machine. They definitely need that real wash, but I think I'll wait a little bit longer.

            @Oaktavia How's the jump back and forth between the XHSIB and the UHR going? Any thoughts about the two, one that's feels like it fades faster, is more smooth or rough or breathable, one that you're growing more affectionate towards, etc? Be curious to know which one of your darling twins you are loving more 😂 especially since you're wearing these two heavy fuckers in the heat.

              @Oaktavia How's the jump back and forth between the XHSIB and the UHR going?

              It is going well! I am alternating every other day UHR and XHSib and have been doing so since last Halloween. It is definitely slower going compared to fading just one pair at a time, obviously. But the point of this 50:50 idea is to still be able to fade heavyweights at a measurable and reasonable rate while being able to wear more than one pair of pants. So my goal is to go two years straight with these two.

              Plus, I plan to start fading my pair of Loom Breakers solo for my next fade project. I hypothesize my perception of fade progress will seem even quicker considering I will be used to the 50:50 speed, at least at first.

              Any thoughts about the two, one that's feels like it fades faster, is more smooth or rough or breathable, one that you're growing more affectionate towards, etc?

              I chose the UHR and XHSib because they are both known to fade rapidly when worn a lot. That way, I would still see results as the weeks and months progressed. They really do seem to be fading at practically the same rate. XHSib is smoother than UHR but they are both relatively smooth after some wear. As far as breathability, I cannot really tell much of a difference, but if I had to put money on it, I would say UHR. I also chose these two jeans because I have such an admiration for the heavyweight nature of them. I feel connected to these jeans, in a similar way that Filthy Mike responded to his own pairs. I feel strong affection towards both.

              Be curious to know which one of your darling twins you are loving more 😂 especially since you're wearing these two heavy fuckers in the heat.

              I love them both for their own unique traits. If I absolutely had to choose just one, it would be XHSib. That was my first denim I ever purchased from IH (a pair of 555XHSib in 2019) and will always be my favorite. Just don't tell the UHR that...
