    I'm thinking maybe the photos I submitted were of lower quality than the ones I posted here but it's whateves.

    When does this start? April? I will be cheering y'all on dudes!

      Man @Oaktavia those things look great. I’d be curious to see the other photos that made the top 50. Call me cynical but I see a lot of people juking their Lightroom sliders — yours could’ve been too honest 😃

      @Jcaz6996 I also would love to see yours!

        I often wonder how much some photos were/are edited when folks take of their denim. I learned in my non-major photo class that if the viewer can tell the photo was altered, you've gone too far.

            If you use the natural light of outdoors on a nice day at the right time, the photos need no altering! Perfect example of this. Crazy as shit to me these used to be dark dark dark indigo/black. Nice work indeed.

              Looking back at it now there’s a few things I would change first do a initial soak.
              Remember the first couple of weeks were brutal. Waited 6 months before doing a soapy soak
              And washed 5 or 6 times in the year, would just hold off now and wash them at the end.

                They look fantastic !!!
                What have you done to keep them "fresh" ? There must be a point when they start smelling, or not ?

                  @Daniel San cheers 👍
                  i soapy soaked them in the bath 4 times in the last 6 months going through the summer months they were a struggle to work in but never really got to a point where they  smelled .

                    This is the worst they got with salt patches on the shins from sweating.

                                I was wondering if they could be entered or not earlier today when I saw the restock…looking at @Daniel San

                                  They can be entered , it says "all styles and denims"
                                  I was thinking of them when I decided to take part in Y3 , but not knowing when the restock will be and the
                                  fact that they might be unwearable in summer made me switch to the 18oz.
                                  Now I will think about them again …..🤔

                                    Technically they're denim trousers, so I don't see why the bibs would be ineligible…

                                      It's OK to miss a few dozen days IMO… @alexswords placed during Y1 and he had to change his size of his XHSib months into the competition if I remember correctly.

                                      The 18oz is a great option too though! Have fun deciding that but don't think too hard compadre!

                                          Cheers @RoxRocks86 means a lot 🙌

                                          When Y2 finished was adamant I wasn’t going to enter Y3 because of the whole voting system.

                                          If I remember correctly 358 people finished the competition.

                                          Then it went to a small panel of judges for the top 50 then  public vote on indigo invitational FB page that was a joke
                                          Where the page had 1600 followers then jumped to 3300ish as friends and family were voting lol.
                                          Indigoinvitational soon realising what was happening and pulled the plug on the public vote
                                          To then who entered as of day 1 could vote via email for there favourite 10

                                          I don’t agree with contestants voting  as a load of contestants are part of denim community’s look at how many malaysia & Thailand there was in the top 50 alone and others have massive social media following so I thought it was biased just my opinion.

                                          Think it should be different stages of external judging.

                                          Panel of judges for top 50

                                          Judges for top 16 then 4 Wild cards chosen by you the founders

                                          Then judges for the final.

                                          But now I don’t care I enjoyed the whole experience committing  to one pair and wearing them as much as I could for 365 days  to see what I could do to my pair of XHSIB’s I couldn’t of wore them anymore 365/365
                                          4980hours

                                          Just got to look at the winner Harry his XHS are insane they are literally perfect to good and he only wore them casually 🤷🏼‍♂️
