Indigo Invitational Y5

[worn2fade]

It’s also my first year competing and I’m in it to win it baby. We’ll see how that works out lol.

I’ve been wearing my 888S-UHR’s in this Florida heat the last 6 months, they’ll hit 7 by the time IIY5 begins - going to feel nice throwing on and breaking in this heavier denim in the “cooler” months to come - though it won’t actually start being “cooler” til’ probably late October.

@PJ @pmadison95 @Larkens @worn2fade It’s going to be a fun year gentlemen. Go for it @Denimhead-0; you have nothing to lose!

[Larkens]

@Mister_Brue that’s exactly what I was thinking! Fun indeed.

And true, indeed! Nothing to loose @Denimhead-0 it’s a fun ride.

[PJ]

@worn2fade great choice. I have worn my xhs for about six month and washed once. They are amazing

[worn2fade]

@PJ you mind sharing a photo when you get a chance? Also did you do an initial soak or you skipped that?

[PJ]

@worn2fade sure will do . Yes initial soak and wash to remove all shrinkage.

This time I'm doing the IGW-101B - Never seen a pair faded, interested to see how they turn out.

@pmadison95 Nice choice, looking forward to following along. (Personally I love black denim, did the SBGs last Invitational)

@PJ I found it really enjoyable last year, even if I know I will never win or place high, far too slow of a fader for that to happen. Still, that pair is by far my most faded pair and I was very happy with the way it came out. It's a fun little project.

[jebrand]

I'm in this year. Going with 888 19L this time. Been fading a pair of 888 UHR since the end of Y4.

[worn2fade]

@jebrand you have an extra month on me with the UHR’s, I’d love to see how yours look right now.

[jebrand]

They are in desperate need of a wash but I will try and get some pictures later today. Good opportunity to start getting back in practice with my denim photos!

[Davids_denim]

I was torn between doing re(pair) with my UHR or going with the XHS but then the Piger X ii collab dropped and they just looked too good to pass on. I do feel guilty not going with iron heart this year but I do have the lefty jacket ready and waiting for the redline rally to start.

[worn2fade]

@jebrand look at that, meant to be!

[worn2fade]

@Davids_denim you bridged an iron heart so you’re faithful enough in my book!

[Davids_denim]

@worn2fade man, the 21oz is probably the most comfortable denim I own… stubborn though.

[worn2fade]

@Davids_denim yeah man when I had the 21oz 634 I fell in love with the comfort, the UHR’s never achieved anywhere near that level of comfort lol.

They were indeed stubborn though, and since you just came off UHR’s right before them you really feel it.

[PJ]

@JunkPants same here. Will never place high but like you will try to enjoy the ride.

@jebrand Probably going with 634 lefty . Could be fun to follow the progress of our lefty’s

[jebrand]

@PJ it will be cool to compare progress. Lefty jeans definitely need more love!

[meatmarketdenim1]

I’m in with pair of 633 XHS, stoked to be involved and rep iron heart, plus self edge. Been looking at these almost every morning for last 6 months lol; ready to roll.

[Larkens]

@meatmarketdenim1 just a couple of mornings left of just staring

[worn2fade]

@Larkens @meatmarketdenim1 I don’t know how he was able to hold strong for 6 whole months. I would’ve folded like a pancake.
