@moskiitto looking good.

[moskiitto]

@twin thanks, inspired by you, hiking in the forest with denim

[twin]

@moskiitto Welcome. All it takes is to be active in your 888s. No sitting around on the lounge chair.

[Oaktavia]

300 wears exactly today. 300/600 days 50:50 with UHR.

[twin]

@Oaktavia Now those are fantasstic.

[Oaktavia]

@twin thanks man my most faded pair of 25oz

[FlavourFade]

@Oaktavia they are stunning mate, can't wait for my 634xhsib to have them at 300 wears. Will try to push through most of summer and wear them this year as much as possible before I break in my UHR next year. When I tried on the UHR I realised how soft the XHSib became at about 150 wears, yours must feel like a second skin already

[Larkens]

@Oaktavia oh my… love these bonus (just saw m on the evo thread) pics! Amazing. 300+300 done. Time for the tiger now, right?

Any plans on wearing 888s these again? Or are they entering retirement?

[Oaktavia]

@FlavourFade hell yeah dude I love the enthusiasm around this particular denim. It's just so freaking awesome at every stage. And a beast to tame. I would absolutely go bananas for a 684XHSib OMG I would cuff high and die.

Definitely planning on wearing these 888s again just taking a well earned break.

A little to hot for these but I’m tryn

[worn2fade]

@warriors22 feel you dawg. I got 2 more months in my XHS until this competition ends and I’m counting down the days.

[warriors22]

@worn2fade we our visiting our vacation home here in coastal Mississippi n the humidity is the worse. Don’t kno how yall do it for the whole summer but one thing for a fact is those fades come out super dope!

[Phil_NYC]

Since my UHR are out for some repairs decided to bring only these on a 2 week trip to Vegas in the dead of summer. It was 118F yesterday. Probably not the smartest move but it sure accelerates the breaking in process.

[FlavourFade]

@Phil_NYC I have worn my 634s XHSib a lot this summer and it's doable with AC and maybe not doing too much physical work but I finally bought at least one lighter pair of denim after the last heatwave

[moskiitto]

@Phil_NYC great evo, and some of u guys just built different to handle the heat

How are you feelin on uhr vs xhsib now that you just switched.

[Phil_NYC]

@FlavourFade The only thing I noticed is they kind of get tighter on my thighs like one of those chinese finger traps if I am out in the Vegas heat too long.

@moskiitto The UHR were brutal to break in but eventually molded to my body so well. They are just perfect jeans. I've worn the xhsib maybe 30 times so far. The breaking in experience for me is much different than the UHR. These feel more unwieldy, just heavier and still not molding to my body yet. I am certain they will, but for now they feel boxier and more shapeless than the UHR. Could also feel that way because I am stacking these instead of cuffing like I did with the UHR.

All that said, I have a feeling it will be like choosing a favorite child once I tame these beasts.

Seriously! As soon as the temperature hits around 70°F (21°C), all of my > 21 oz. pairs enter hibernation.
