Thanks man! XHS is awesome—super stiff at first, but over time, it gets really comfy.
I hand wash using regular detergent, lukewarm water, and scrub with a soft brush to help the detergent penetrate better, but I don’t turn the jeans inside out.

That's an excellent mix of vintage and contrasting fades. I have these and obviously need to wear them more. The broken twill will be looked at fondly as a missed opportunity if it isn't run again. great fabric.

Knees at 133 wears each. 21, 21ib, 21 SBG

@T4920 that is an interesting configuration for your keys
-
@WhiskeySandwich yeah, I was just messing around with 'em one day and thought it ended up looking pretty cool!
-
@WhiskeySandwich I like the 21ib the best. Sort of surprised. Reminds me a little of od fades
-
@GardenState i do love some 21ib. they're all great tho. I'll have to keep doing these, the lighting gets weird in some shots. This one was the 'night mode' long exposure thing and didn't fully capture the contrast. the 21ib is pretty dramatic compared to the others. I'd think the OD would be much less contrasty but similar colors.

Not sure if this is right place to ask, but anyone else noticing XHS jeans needing their first crotch repair earlier compared to lighter denims? I have two pairs and my 634's are developing a hole even thought they are barely broken in. ("barely" in context of xhs. been having them over 2years).
-
@Oaktavia good to know. My jeans will allways blowout in same place (other brands too). Maybe it's a habit and bodyshape/movement thing. I suspect that lack of stretch just does it faster with xhs. Not even complaining really, just observing. I have two hands and a sewing machine afterall
-
It's a body physiology thing, I have never managed to blow a crotch out in my life.
And the 25oz is thicker than the 21 than the 19 than the 18 etc etc , so if your are prone to blowouts, it will happen all the quicker in the thicker fabric because it it causes more friction.

XHS 888
~ 392 wears and 5 washes
Curious about the fraying around the hem. They never drag under my shoe. Would only rub against the back of my boot. I guess the heel stay is causing this fraying?
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@Mizmazzle Those look freakin’ amazing and the fraying only adds character ~ wear them in good health!
