@Jord i gotchu.
They're currently hang drying after their 10th wash so it might be a couple days.

Here's a couple pics from a month ago after a (9th) wash. Color looks lighter than they actually are & the lighting softens the fade contrast. Hopefully I can do a better job with some fresh pics.
cheers

Dusting off my old request for a Kelly Green hoody. Y'all know this would sell out immediately

Hem fray after 8th wash Oliver the English Lab

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

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

@Aetas said in IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo:

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
