@Tago-Mago forgot to measure as well

I feel like they lost half inch on length which is good since they were Unhemmed.

After wearing a couple times, did the first soak in mildly warm water. Inside out and no agitation. Did the towel roll dry to get excess water out and hung dry. Didn’t expect to see fade lines after that first soak. Guess I have a lot to learn.

@Workwear I had some white lines too, did a light wipe with an old wet towel, very lightly.

Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try

@Denimhead-0 out of curiosity how tall are you? Super clean look considering you’ve only single cuffed them and they are unhemmed!

Dang! I picked up my XHSib 666 today! What a beastly pair of denim!
I feel bullet proof and excited as I can be! Such a cool pair of jeans!

After two years of waiting, now the fading journey begins

[CosmoSix5]

My order is scheduled to deliver tomorrow. We'll see with the weather. I'll call them mine when/if they fit. It's going to be close.

@tody did you end up buying a pair?

[tody]

@Tago-Mago i did. put it in the closet, no plans of breaking it in (yet). rotation needs some serious reconsideration beforehand.

[Tago Mago]

@tody I feel you. My 666-SBG aren’t getting the attention they deserve, and I have justified the 888N to myself by designating them my spring/summer pair. And if the UHR comes anytime soon they will probably be my autumn/winter 2029 pair the way things are going…

[CosmoSix5]

@Tago-Mago you're at least still pre 2030! We need more torsos and legs lol

And my concerns were realized as my ib were weather delayed till tomorrow. Of course tomorrow I have routes all day so I'll probably end up getting them Friday at the UPS store. Unless the UPS truck has a gps
