      @WhiskeySandwich yeah I agree. These are incredible. Like a perfect balance of contrast and vintage with deep hues layered with smooth faded high whites.

                My 666S-21 needed another wash as denim smelling of (roast) duck was just too confusing. I’m a self-confessed slow fader so these are not spectacular but they might give others hope that good things will come with time.

                  @ARNC those look great man! Are you planning to repair the cuffs? I have a pair that’s starting to fray there too.

                    @ZackB thanks. I don’t think the cuffs are critical yet. There’s a potential crotch issue that might need attention first – I’ll probably take advice from Josh as to whether to send them in now or wait till the next wash.

                        @SKT thanks! My post was more intended as encouragement for guys who are a bit rubbish at fading, but I’ll shamelessly accept any positive comments that come my way 🙂

                              @ARNC what I like about your pair, and every other pair for that matter, is that they represent you. Fading is not a competition (to me at least). Every pair is unique and that makes it special. My pair of 666-21 look different from yours, and someone else's look different again.

                                @Tago-Mago that’s definitely true. Some fades reflect habits and others specific events. The mark on the right knee is from when I went arse over tit on a slippery slate pathway.

                                    @indigostiff I don’t track wears/washes so no definite answer. I also rotate bottoms according to my mood and I don’t get to wear IH stuff at work so it’s hard to work backwards. I’ve had them for a few years and they’ve been washed as needed without any particular schedule.
