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
6 washes in now. Getting less wear in the July heat.
@goosehd I have it in pullover & crew. Wanting something brighter like a Kelly Green
Green Hoodie. Med/Light shade. No graphics

Summer is coming. Perhaps the last days before send into season retirement.
Often bittersweet & awkward to slip into lighter weight denim after rocking 25oz for several months. I love my 14oz & 16oz (slub) in the summer but they feel so thin at first.
Your 888-XHS is looking great btw!
Dig’n the evo on the hem this afternoon
Progress update. Almost three months of moderate wear. Hoping to double that before it's get hot.
thanks @Tago-Mago. I was able to pick one up from another IH retailer
@giles I guess that means no IHxCrocs collab 
️
@tnjyoung thank you! these have seen several machine washes & get pretty dirty during the summer with yard work/landscaping.
@jerkules faded AF my boy. working on my first pair of 19L's this winter - great inspiration

I'm definitely an indigo/black denim guy.
For the longest time I was hoping for Indigo/Indigo XHS but honestly I think Indigo/Black makes for better high contrast fades.
Don't get me wrong though. If double indigo XHS was offered I'd be first in line
@CosmoSix5 incredible score! Natty CXL it appears? I dig the one piece backstay
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.
