@worn2fade in times like these I put the drops on ice if needed. Do you have a bucket?

[worn2fade]

@Oaktavia If this is a figure of speech and “bucket” translates to “money,” then no haha. We got our wedding date set for January 10th so all denim purchases are on a halt.

[Oaktavia]

@worn2fade congratulations again man, definitely a great reason to put the denim purchases on pause.

Post wash photos on a cloudy day.

@Oaktavia Wow those 888 sure are looking great.

[Oaktavia]

@twin thank you kindly my XHSib brother.

@Oaktavia Welcome my XHSib brother.

@ShopatIronHeart hey guys from memory these were due for late September. Have you by any chance received some update on a delivery window?
Many thanks,

[JoshC]

@tvaillant75 No updates at the moment, but I would hope October will be the one, we are just waiting for Japan to give us the nod they are ready.

Sunlight at the treeline

NEEEEOOOONNNN blue. Killer!! I’m currently working on the 25oz XHS, these ibs will be my next 888.

[m4xime]

The colours on these are insane ...

[akeno93]

Nice! The sunlight really brings out the contrast in blues. Been wanting to pick up a pair once they restock.

[Bobcat Sig]

And… restock notification submitted. I figure with how often these are released, picking up a pair for wear later will be a good thing. Keeps from waiting when I’m finally ready. You know, build that bench strength.

Middle 3 buttons on my fly have been regularly popping open lately after stretching. I took them to the seamstress asking for a couple stitches on each button hole. Got a weird look and a lot of back and forth but hoping she can hook it up. Funny there was no mention about the weight of the fabric, she was just really concerned I wouldn’t be able to button them afterward. I should’ve told her about my bruised thumbs after the first few days of wear…

@Oaktavia they are really taking off now mate, you’ve made XHSib my next pair for sure

[Oaktavia]

@hjl360 best denim for high contrast fades, that is for sure

[natefreezy]

@Oaktavia Looks great! I’m wearing mine right now but only initial soak so far. Would you soapy soak these before moving to machine wash? And spin cycle or no? Not sure how prone these might be to marbling.

[Oaktavia]

@natefreezy I always soak to lessen the likelihood of marbling just to be safe. It's easy.

Edit: I reread your question. To finish answering and to clarify, I also machine wash after a soak. No spin cycle.
