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. -
@Johnnyutah247 what are the black boots in the bottom pic?
-
@wjw rolling dub trio Casper boots in a teacore horsehide from rivet and hide. Most comfortable boots I've worn.
-
@Johnnyutah247 ahh I see what you mean! Yours look exceptionally clean.
Looks like @Denimhead-0 & @catdad1 have that perfect inseam that lies exactly where it needs to as well.
These breaks look awesome, I just may consider this for my 888-XHSib once they drop. My current 888-XHS are at a 33.5” inseam (hemmed to 34.5” and after soak got my desired 33.5”) - with this I can do a clean, short double cuff or have some stacks that are non-excessive. I’m reallyyyy digging that clean break though honestly.
