@Davids_denim Thank you so much. Your pair looks sick too!

All wrapped up! 365 days and not a day missed.

For everyone who is planning on Y6, are you going with a bridge pair? I'm wearing 888 SBG for mine.

I wore a pair of Iron Heart 888 XHS 25oz for IIY5.
I managed to get 335 wear days on them.
I lost 24 days of wear when KLM Airlines lost my luggage with my jeans inside at Amsterdam Airport.
I had a European holiday, they had their own holiday at the Airport.
At least they were finally found and I got my luggage back.
Could’ve been 359 wears.
I cold soaked them before day 1 of wear and didn’t wash them until day 333 of wear (almost the full 12 months).
Aired out everyday, occasional fabric spray, low odour before wash.
Noticeable indigo loss after wash (but not a huge amount).
Crotch blow out concerns was the main inspiration for the wash, although no signs of crotch blow out yet.
Post wash fabric was back to its stiff, cardboard feeling from early days of breaking them in, that I’d started to forget, but they quickly softened.
In hindsight if I’d washed them a few more times, I’m sure the fades would more significant, but I have long term relationship plans for this pair, not just a 12 month fling…
