@worn2fade you are at more risk of marbling by not turning inside out. The contact between the washer tub and the denim could lead to unwanted streaks.

@worn2fade Yeah man lesson learned for sure on the mud. I was honestly pretty amazed how little the wash did to them when turned inside out. Those muddy knees looked almost exactly the same as when they went in dirty. Crazy how much the 25 oz can shield itself from proper cleaning if you don't expose it to the wash properly.
-
@worn2fade Same here. The inside out thing is only to keep abrasions from forming marbling and random lines, but when you are just soaking them, those abrasions aren't going to happen anyways, AND the inside out keeps the outside from getting clean. The only time mine ever get turned inside out are when they go in the washing machine, but that almost never happens anyways because I feel like they get much cleaner with a hand wash in the tub with soap and agitation.

I don’t turn inside out specifically for soaking my friend. In the washer machine they definitely get turned inside out!

@worn2fade Gotcha…mis read on my part.

Nice dude. For me, I don’t have great success hand washing unfortunately. I tried that in the beginning and it’s just not the best in my case. I’ve seen great results with soaking regularly, then washing inside out in the machine.
Plus with a machine wash they come out smelling way better than with hand washing haha

Once the mud gets washed into the jeans, hard to brush out or get out the mud stain. You can take a brush while soaking, but you will also be brushing off lots of indigo
-
@wjw yeah, I learned the hard way on my UHR’s. I tried to brush off a strawberry juice stain with the denim wet and it left a hideous patch on my jeans.
It’s always best to let the mud dry first, brush off what you can, then throw it in some water.

You could always try the Fanya method. https://supertalk.superfuture.com/topic/144198-heavyweight-denim-championships-2013-2015-official-thread/page/118/#comment-3030220

11 wears today, so still a XHSib noob. Have to say they are starting to soften up a bit. And to my surprise a small amount of fading here and there already.
For reference I am 188cm and about 90kg. Tag 35 and just started using a belt because of stretch or weight loss. Or both.
Below 0 degrees C in the morning here in Sweden so still XHS-weather
Jacket is IHJ-86-BLK in XXL.

@Sunnergren The fit is right on.

Hi @Arvid, We try to get restocks in as quickly as we can. We recently restocked the 888-XHSib, so I assume these won't be restocked again soon. I would say a good few months until these are back. Please keep an eye on this thread for any further updates and register for the restock notifications.
@hugothecowboy Awhile I think, this was James's reply when asked the same question a few weeks ago
-
@hugothecowboy the previous restock before this one was February 2024. not saying it will be two years, just making you aware that it may be a while.

ok thank you -
Thanks for the info
