@RJScheuerle my all time favorites. Mine are like a pair of sweats at this point. I washed a lot so they aren't super contrasty but the are fading nicely.
-
I got this thin diagonal fade. Is this due to an abrasion or natural fiber width inconsistency in the loom? I’ve seen this happen once on another pair of raw denim.

Overnight soak to loosen some stubborn dirt. Somewhere around 8 months of wear.

@Yoprst What are you taking these photos with? They look so good
-
@indigo_fades It depends. When I'm lazy I take them with my phone and when I want better quality I use my Nikon DSLR camera. This particular one was taken with Nikon

@catdad1 are yours hemmed in such a way that you have no stacks/don’t use any cuffs? I don’t see any fade evidence of either but I may just be bugging lol
His look similar to mine. I don't really cuff anymore and prefer a clean break without stacks. I find this to be the most versatile look across diffrent kinds of shoes. Since I haven't cuffed mine, the roping fading is amazing.

@Johnnyutah247 I bet it is dude. I stacked my UHR’s (unhemmed,) for 7 months and the roping was pretty gnarly. I don’t see many folks do clean breaks hence why I inquired. I may just consider that down the line, for me to get a clean break though I’d probably have to go down to a 29” inseam which is insane to me lol. I’d appreciate a fit pic of you with a clean break if possible!
-
I got you brother, for reference I'm about 6'2" and I get my jeans hemmed to like a 31 which works for me. But everyone's legs are different.
-
@Johnnyutah247 yeah we must have a similar leg to body ratio haha cause I’m 5’11 & I’d fall around a 28/29 inseam. Looking forward to the pic!

A few shitty pics taken at various points in the last couple years.

My 888’s w a little over a year of rotational wear. My favorite fit
-
@worn2fade this was my first pair of XHS and when I requested hemming, I forgot to account for length shrinkage. I went with my normal 31" inseam and I think it's around 30" now after all the washes. It is my cleanest break out of my pairs and I really enjoy the look once I noticed what I had done. I am also 5'-11" and traditionally target and inseam range of 31-32".
My 1955s are the only pair unhemmed purposely for a Tokyo cuff.

@catdad1
Clean breaks for the win! Less break makes my short legs look longer.
