IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black

However, they're fast approaching retirement age...

With apologies for the crotch shot

@Lowlander Simply splendid! But maybe send them to IH for repair, they seem to have plenty life in them.

[Lowlander]

@Karol thanks, and yes, I might actually do that. Good idea!

@Lowlander glorious

@Lowlander Defo Top 5 faded jeans I have ever seen pictures of. Probably Top 3, actually. Just fantastic. I am a sucker for huge white patches along the fronts of the thighs. Please tell me you're not gonna retire these just because of those tiny little fixable holes! The streets need these mobile art installations!

[Oaktavia]

@Lowlander likely the most faded to feck jeans I ever did see, truly amazing

[Lowlander]

@nurunuru @Oaktavia Cheers, guys! I'll keep them in rotation for a while and I'll get in touch with IHUK and see if they can do some repairs. Currently I'm at 700+ wears. I've always said I wanted to try and get to 1000. Would still be nice to reach that mark

@Lowlander do it! Those are cool as hell, excellent job

@Lowlander Legendary pair. And please get them fixed up so we can still enjoy the yearly updates in the future. (Worth having a look back in this thread for any newcomers).

@Lowlander They sure are fantastic. Best fades of the XHSib denim.

[JunkPants]

@twin You have some amazing pairs of XHSib yourself. (If you ever washed them I suspect we might reach denim nirvana).

And let's not forget Jcaz, he has some incredible pairs as well. And Oaktavia of course.

@AdamJ I hate to ask, but I seen that the 888 is coming in few weeks. Is 555 in the same batch?

[AdamJ]

Sadly, no emoji klaxon for the 555 yet

[Karol]

@AdamJ still good to know, thanks!!!

[mikemakuch71]

i’m beginning to lose hope.

[AdamJ]

@mikemakuch71 shouldn't be too far away now

[Lowlander]

I'm sad to report I won't be wearing these anymore. I sent them over to IHUK for repairs in February, but somehow they never got there. Got confirmation this week that UPS lost them...

[Jord]

@Lowlander Man that sucks... I'd take it in your stride and use it as an excuse to commit to another pair!

[twin]

@Lowlander Now you will have to buy a new pair.

[Notchas]

@ShopatIronHeart How soon??
