Day 29 of wearing and around 130km of walking. Not pretty much of change, but it’s easy to spot the gradual fades on all area.

@aetherist indeed they are not.

Thanks for the info. Was trying to find it online in JP, but can’t find it

Hai, quick question in here. Does 292 and 293 are not release in Japan?

Day 3 with SoSo Ghost Denim 25oz. To be honest this pants is much much much lighter compared to xhs/xhsib.

@nath23vintage Really glad to see you here, bro. And really can’t wait to see the results of your perfect electric legs.

Out for some Catholic Class today. ️

@aetherist that’s a cool idea with the wallet

Yeah. It is such a waste just to keep it or throw it away. So I came up with the idea to make it useful. Especially IH’s items are known by its durability and stuffs. Now I’m making my watch strap

I also prefer more unique scents. Earthy herbal stuff.

You should try Amouage - Interlude if you haven’t, Matt. You will love it.

Also, don't know if it's been brought up in this thread yet or not, but y'all ever check out the Fragrantica website?

Yeap. Fragrantica’s being used as a “basic” knowledge if someone needs or want to buy something. Pretty useful actually. Even for some of the listing notes and spl is not really true. But it doesn’t mean that it is complete trash. My brand’s also got listed on there. ️

Out for some workout earlier and managed to get a mirror selfie ️

Wearing my:
: pinion
: 666 xhsib
And my own hand sew wallet using xhsib’s leftover hemmed material and leather.

@aetherist that is quite the collection! How do you make sure they don't spoil? I always assumed fragrances has a shelf life of just a few years before they degrade.

I have about 400+ fragrances of designer, niche, artisans, oils and attars in total and this is just a drawer next to my bed actually. Consist of my own brand’s products, some rnds or something that my dearest one gave to me.
And about your question, as someone that’s been collecting fragrances for almost 2 decades, there’s no such thing as expired, my brother. It’s all just about how you store and keep them good or not. I have lots of vintage fragrance from most of the big designer houses from 1960-1980 and they’re still fabulous. And for the true collector, the price and value have increased significantly.

Been collecting fragrances, attar and oils since only God knows when. Because both of my parents are as well. And now even have my own brand. It’s Hausser. So I wear my brand’s perfume a lot. Especially the one that’s not released yet because I need to do some RnD ️

Some small detail from today’s fit. Featuring some indigo bleed on my crouch of course. It’s amazing about how fast this fabric bleeds especially on the crouch and whisker area.

@aetherist Due to frequent handling, friction, sunlight, and everything else a wallet has to face, the materials and colors will definitely change in the medium and long term, I think.

Ah, I think so. The color will change for sure. But I think it’s not gonna fade like pants or jacket that has creases. Thanks btw! Really appreciate it. Took me a long time to learn something new and happy with the results.

@SKT I used to have the same thinking of yours, and I decided to go with size 35. And so happy with that. It was so loose before soak and wearing. But it’s good now after a week of use and 2 hot soak. Even I think it wasn’t much shrinkage on the waist for 2 x 45 mins? Just around 0.5” at the max. And it surely will go back and stretch more after lots of wear.

So, if you need the final measurements to be at 35”, it depends on you. Does the size 34 fit you on any other area? If yes, the next question, can you bear the consequences of wearing 25oz a bit fit? If you checklist them all, then go ahead.

@matt_rost and I don’t really think that it’s gonna fade like it supposed to be tho? Maybe only on the middle area? If it’s from the friction like on the pants/jacket/shirt etc, they fade because of it no?

@Oaktavia @Luijim78 @matt_rost

Thanks, Buddy.

Actually not much different on the inside part. Just like any others medium/long wallet. I made it because I really missed my redmoon wallet that got stollen last year

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this or not, but I wanna take this time to share my happiness with you guys. I decided to make my own wallet with the leftover hemmed material of 666 xhsib and I really happy with the results. I asked my friend to teach me to sew leather, made the pattern, etc. it took me 2 months to complete this wallet and I’m so happy now. And now I’m thinking to make a watch strap using leather + xhsib material and a small pouch if it’s possible (and still have some leftover of it).

I’m really thinking to get the 888 version. But really don’t know if this fit will good to me or not.

@aetherist I've been wanting to try out Pinion. Great jacket and jeans

Have myself a couple of their article. Their fabric surely is having a massive potential for fading. But to be honest, nothing beats IH at this point.
