Progress update. Almost three months of moderate wear. Hoping to double that before it's get hot.

Dig’n the evo on the hem this afternoon

Another Summer in the books. These shed a lot of Indigo this season & really started to show some amazing evo. Wish the iPhone camera wouldn't lose its mind with denim.

Cutting in the last deep edge on the lawn for the year. Rebuilt White’s Bounty Hunters. They used to be 12E, all smooth, 700 V-bar sole w/a steel toe for work.
Now they’re 12D Smooth over R/O. Unstructured toe & Vibram 430 mini-lug sole. My go-to pair of chore boots.

I’m declaring it XHSib season

7th wash

@Luke_is_back

first couple were hand washes w/hot water, hang dry.

Then inside out presoak prior to washing machine with no spin(hot). I hang the denim to get the drips out before tossing into the dryer on hot.

Inside out presoak is one of the best tips Ive learned here.

Will this fade? Some of the retailer’s descriptions states that it will fade.

Not in the way that their denim or their Wabash fades. You're not going to get honeycombs or bleached out elbows. It's more akin to that favorite hoody you always reach for.

The IHSH-260-PPL was my first UHF & is also purple. It's been in the rotation for 4 years now so it's seen a few washes. The colors are not as brilliant or deep but they damn sure do age gracefully.

order placed, along with a pair of 19oz 555...stoked!

Will those 555’s be your first 19oz lefties? It’s the most slept on IH denim imho.

Wow these sold out fast. Glad I set an alarm. After missing those 2 purple drops a few years ago I was damn sure not gonna miss out this time
