@worn2fade I soak them inside out because flipping them inside out when they are soaking wet is a pain in the ass.

[worn2fade]

@Oaktavia you ain’t joking haha! Thanks for the tips brother.

[Oaktavia]

@worn2fade you are welcome, anytime.

Day 184, 1 initial soak & 0 washes.
Pretty bummed I have to hang this pair up soon since II is around the corner, they’re just now starting to really peak.

@worn2fade looking great man. Need some UHR in my life.

@Mizmazzle same here…

[worn2fade]

@Mizmazzle thanks my friend. Get ya a pair!

[Oaktavia]

Here is my pair of UHR just shy of 150 wears. 50:50 with my pair of XHSib. These seem to be progressing at a faster rate. I love the cracked scarring on the combs and cuffs.

@Oaktavia those look so good man. Think UHR mught be my next pair.

[Oaktavia]

157 wears with these fade beasts.

@Oaktavia hell yeah fades looking killer as always man. how long are you planning on wearing the two pairs for?

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia whichever out of these, the XHSib and the SBG restocks first will be my next pair

[Oaktavia]

@freepickin I originally was going to go for two years straight. At this point I do not think that is necessary. Especially with the UHR. I knew it faded fast, but wow, this pair looks more faded than my regular XHS that has 100+ more wears. Plus, I have a pair of near mint Loombreakers I am super eager to wear. So I am thinking I will finish out 2025 wearing these and likely start with the LB in 2026. Might replace the UHR with those and keep wearing the XHSib. Not totally sure yet.

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago XHSib is the absolute best IMO. Nothing beats the complexity and beauty of that denim. Its just so incredible to fade at all stages.

[worn2fade]

@Oaktavia I envy your cuffs brother. It feels impossible for me to have solid cuffs on mine (Japanese.) Ima do it with my 888-XHS though from the get-go.

[Oaktavia]

@worn2fade it just takes practice and trying to cuff and re cuffing it if it looks off. It can be a little frustrating. I find it easier to do when I am not wearing them compared to doing it while the jeans are on me. Took me a little while to realize that. It is also a lot easier to pull them on when they are cuffed compared to stacked.
