Thanks @Oaktavia  I was at the Stanley Cup finals in 1977 at the Forum in Montral. Ticket was 12.50 for center ice in the blue seats. It was SRO.

Go on @Daniel San  quite a collection now mate..
XHSib are monsters.. can’t believe I never soaked mine when new 2weeks of uncomfortable pain
My opinion take a lot longer then XHS to fade 9 months but when they do they look bad ass ..
Probably took so long I didn’t do a initial soak..

@Jcaz6996
had the chance to get one used with max 30 wears. could not resist cause of the fact that restock is far far a away , when I got it right.

The XHSib take longer to fade than the XHS?

[Giles]

They shouldn't, the warp is the same….

[A Former User]

In my opinion they don’t fade slower, 2 weeks in and already starting to see some fades, but that just my 2 cents he

[Daniel San]

I don´t expect them to fade slower too.

James might be right with this, from my experiences the initial soak/wash is like a jump starter for fading.

[Jcaz6996]

Yeah I wore them straight out of the package it was definitely a challenge like cardboard for 2 weeks . At the time I didn’t know better.
Without a doubt soaking my XHS breaking in period felt easy nothing but good memories compared to XHSib nightmare .
I’m just taking about my own experience if I compare 9 months in XHSib compared to XHS my XHS are more advanced in terms of fades ..

@Giles Thanks Giles, didn't know they had the same warp.

[Giles]

All XHS derivatives have the same warp, it's the weft that changes.  Well, technically even the weft is the same construction too, just that in some versions, it is dyed….
