@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.
WTB: IHSH-265 red size large

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…

@Marc2706 thank you!

My bridge is Samurai S310xx19ozii! Not 100% sure on IIY6 tho honestly.

@worn2fade if the 684 drop in a 16oz slub before April, I might jump in. The 666S UHR I’ve been sitting on for Y6 got their first wear yesterday after learning Y6 doesn’t start in Sept like I thought it would.

The last two months have been not great as it was just to hot for my taste
Now they need some repair 
I‘m still lookikg forward to some milder temperatures and especially autumn
