@Oaktavia holy crap, I would never wear another fabric again.

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia Wow! Looks bloody amazing.

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants heck yeah thanks buddy!

@Oaktavia I’ll definitely be getting a pair of these when my size becomes available again. Very nice mate
Edit: just seen that they only come in Indigo. Might have to be my first pair of indigo jeans in probably 10 or so years then.

@Oaktavia As much as I love you IB, I believe this one may be even better... The front is really a masterpiece.

How much more do you plan to wear it?

[Duffputter]

I looked through the thread and may have missed it but any ideas of a restock time frame?

Thank you for the kind words. I plan on wearing these at least for a few more months. The fades on my UHR are much more pronounced than the XHSib at the moment. I will just keep wearing both and see where they go.

@Oaktavia man these are beautiful. I really love how you get the high contrast whiskers on the upper thigh. Curious about the coin pocket fade or have I asked before?

[Oaktavia]

@SKT thanks man! It is from this Zippo I picked up in Gosport last year, along with the UHR.

[SKT]

Very cool

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia love this level of nerd-out and I’m in full agreement

[Oaktavia]

@WhiseySandwich heck yeah

I recently got the 888-UHR soaked them for about an hour in warm water and threw them in laundry with my TCB type 1 jacket. Still waiting for them to dry. These are some pics before I washed them. I don’t expect them to stand up after they are dry.

Don’t be so sure.

I just got them hemmed to L 33. I prefer faux cuff for tapered jeans, but the 888 cut has bigger leg opening than my other relax tapered jeans. I have been thinking about hemming them even further to almost no cuff, but I will rock the faux cuff for now. I also noticed that despite the shrinks, the leg twists are barely noticeable.

First time I wore these since II began. Last time these were out of the closet they had just finished getting their first wash after 7 months of no wash.

211 days of wear.

Forgot how beautiful these look.

@Oaktavia dude these are just so next level.
