      😃 to be realistic, I want to wear them as much as possible.
      Mostly at work , I’ll take the 18oz because I think it’s wearable in the summer too. Maybe not every day but more often than 25oz for sure.

          I'm really not built for this kind of thing. My jeans get dirty and smelly quickly and I like wearing a range of jeans. Sticking to one pair doesn't suit me.

          As a result I've never gone in for one of the, but I've signed up now. The nudge I needed was picking up the IH.634s-SLB's. I decided not to wear them until summer, so they are fresh and unworn right now. I'll see what I can manage.

            cool Reuben ! good to have you in 👍
            I have too much pairs too, and there will be even more during this year 😁,
            the new 21oz ib is a must have, the UHR and of course the anniversary stuff
            so I will wear the competition pair on work and the other after work or on weekends mostly.

              Did you all participants manage to post your Raw proof? The hash tag seems to be available and I'm trying for the last 30 minutes to upload the images, but get back an error message.

                  Remember seeing somewhere in IG on the total number of participants which stands around 600'ish I guess. Can't understand what the problem is! Is there any other way? I would definitely want to start wearing my pair tomorrow, the 1st of April.

                    I think there are more than 800 participants.
                    maybe technical problems 🙈
                    as long as you saved the pics you can start wearing I think

                        I can’t wait to see everyone’s fades. I’m pleased with the wide straight fit on these Oni’s. So much room for activities  😉

                            Finally after several unsuccessful attempts, made the submission!

                            Here is what I will be wearing! Don't know how I will cope up during Summer.

                            Unlike my 666 XHS, I decided to do the initial soak before I start wearing them. Let me see what difference it makes.

                                  While I love the way my Elephant 8 N&F turned out, I would have chosen IH last year if I had the chance. I really love the Elephant denims they put out but that is it.

                                  I've seen several IH competitors out there on Instagram over the past day. 18ozII, Pronto Slubs, XHSbb to name a few are going to be hard to beat.

                                      IH won first place last year https://tourdenimes.com/indigo-invitational-y2-top-ten/, but only three of the top ten were IH. There are definitely other brands that should not be underestimated.

                                      But I understand what you are saying…IH is the best of the best as far as fades go.

                                        ^ It is not only the fades for what IH is worth it. I just started to wear my 666 XHSiB as I did soak it this time before wearing it for the first time. Man to button up the waist was a challenge.

                                        What do you guys do to accelerate your fades? I mean not artificially, but kind of natural way other than just wearing them and sitting in front of a computer which I do all day long.

                                          @the246guy fades will come just got to be patient 364 days to go..
                                          Slowly but surely as they say..

                                          I’ve leant from last year from wearing 365/365 on average 14hours a day that your not going to win lol
                                          The Winner last year just wore his leisurely and smashed it.
                                          I work construction wearing them flat out and made the Top 50.
                                          Went on bike rides, walked the dog 3miles probably 4 times a week.

                                          Think around 6months you really notice a big change.

                                          But just enjoy your pair and how they evolve and get to that finish line 🏁
                                          Best of luck

                                            Oh don't get me wrong, IH is on the top of the list for all the boxes checked for sure.

                                            I have found that hiking, riding a bike, yardwork, housework…anything that requires lots of movement makes fades appear faster. Time being the ultimate factor though, of course.
