@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

@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.

[kojimastreets]

@worn2fade look sick. Also dying to know what kind of heat you’re packing in the back there

[worn2fade]

@kojimastreets Thanks bro! Got a S&W .38 Airweight. Im usually a Glock guy but since this pair of denim is my true size it’s hard to carry my 26/45 in them.

@kojimastreets @worn2fade FYI: talks of guns on here make some of our users uneasy. It’s a talk better held in private chats.

@Oaktavia, those are beautiful dude!

[Oaktavia]

@misfitlife thanks man I really love the UHR.

[kojimastreets]

@Oaktavia very curious what your favorite cut/pair is?

@Oaktavia very curious what your favorite cut/pair is?

I love the 888 but will be moving on to the 634 cut afterwards. I have a few pair in 634 waiting for me next.

[kojimastreets]

@Oaktavia I hear you there. I picked up a pear of XHS634ibs in Osaka and the cut is super comfortable.
