@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.

[freepickin]

@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.

Another dump of fade photos...

160 days of wear

@Oaktavia Looks awesome! I need to try a UHR pair at some point.

@Oaktavia I need to try a UHR pair at some point.

Dude what are you waiting for?!

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia I’ve got the Indigo Invitational coming up in a pair of IGW-101B, and then I’ve got an embarrassingly large pile of brand new pairs of XHS, XHSIB, XHSBB, XHSMB, 19L, Samurai 25OZ etc. to get through.

The time for UHR will come though!

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants that makes a lot of sense as to why. One day!

[ZackB]

@Oaktavia what makes you move on to another pair?

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia One day indeed! With IH you never run out of great things to try.
