            Cheers bud definitely feel these fade quicker then the XHSIB last year I wore my pair under waterproof bottoms for a couple of months in work because of the weather 🌧 and I didn’t do a initial soak so I think that gave them a slow start. These XHS initial soak out the way and I’ve just been wearing them what ever the weather .
            Hall of fades have to see mate 👊

                  I wore these for about half of April. Love them (more on that in a bit), but they're currently sharing leg time with my XHSib. And I think I'm going to retire my 19 oz Samurais and replace them with a pair of standard model XHS, so that'll make my winter rotation even more crowded.

                  Obviously, I'm not expecting to place anywhere in the Invitational (I like wearing a jeans in a rotation of 2-3), and I instead use these contests as a framework and source of motivation to get 120+ wears on a slow-fading pair of jeans (such as these 21 oz). These will have that nice lived-in look next March.

                  I have to say that while I think that the XHS denim is more interesting, fades better, and is better to wear in cold weather, I still think that the OG 21 oz has the best combination of comfort and practicality. If I could only own one pair of jeans, it would be a pair of 777S-21.

                              Much like most other folks, my first month submissions were unexciting…


                              However they don’t do the slub justice… up close there are things occurring:

                                Washed or soaked?

                                  No wash or soak in these pics. In for their first wash as I write.

                                      Hmm I'm thinking about entering my 1955s that I have been wearing for about 1-2 months now. I know they have one wash and I will get a few of the Fade Logs from Tannery South in the mail today. That'll help me keep a more accurate log of wears and washes. On the days I dont wear the 55s, I will be wearing my 634SLBs that I should be getting this week or next back from hemming. How long will Y3 last?

                                        I’m pretty sure the registration period is over,and that you had to start with a previously unworn pair.
