IGW-101B - At 3 washes now

@northsouthdenimguy Congratulations, very nice!

Couple of pics after the third wash, at 235 wears. I'd say these pics exaggerate the fading a bit, but not too far off.
Excellent jeans!

Such a cool piece.

@Denimhead-0 @goosehd Good lord, this is a nice one. (Definitely out of my current student budget though). Absolutely love the IHM-27.

@don_pipone Nice! Looking great, and holding up great.

@stitchdown.shell That’s a nice one.

@WhiskeySandwich Nice! Love the Sandstone.

@Indigo-Alchemist Nice, have been eyeing those, love that moleskin.
Hey, tucked is a great look, I'm a student (again) these days so I'm slobbing it untucked every day

@AdamJ Would be good to have at least one decently faded pair of these out there!

@Indigo-Alchemist Nice looking coat. FOB Factory?
As for tucked or untucked, both seem to work well. (Personally I haven't tucked a shirt in years, unless I'm in a suit etc)

IGW-101B - These just had their second wash a 190 wears (first wash at 144 wears). I think I might try washing these more often than the SBGs I wore for the last Invitational, just to see how that works out. Ended up with a total of 4 washes for the SBGs.

@Punatnik Nice pair!

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

He just like lose jeans. Its preference. If what you wearing feels good to you who gives a feck what everybody else thinks. There is no way you are wearing 25oz denim and its too tight and somehow you are not aware of it.

Exactly.

(I find I generally agree with everything yannis says on here )

@northsouthdenimguy Maybe part of it is the weather, extra nice with a cup of coffee on a chilly morning.
That said, I still drank a lot of coffee when I lived in Los Angeles.

On my second cup right now, a large one at about 24 ounces. To my defence I just got back from an 8 am physiology lecture (and will soon head to the gym).

Hoping for the "Iron To The Bone" mug to come back in stock.

As a Norwegian with a Finnish great grandfather I refuse to add up the yearly total

For any coffee lovers visiting Oslo I very much recommend Tim Wendelboe. That's the gold standard in my opinion. Try both the filter (aeropress) and the espresso while you're there.
(Java is another excellent spot).

@Mizmazzle Looking great! (Love black denim!)

@jrb1975 Looking good!

@knappman74 Thanks!

Quite the opposite really, I'm a student again these days (medical school), and a pretty slow fader compared to many people around here. Like Jcaz, Mister Brue etc. who put their denim through the wringer on a daily basis. And then you have denim magicians like Oaktavia who fades to perfection in no time.

Just wear your jeans all day every day and the fades will eventually come. SBG is awesome, gets my highest recommendation for sure. Personally I love black denim, it pairs effortlessly with indigo denim and pretty much everything else.

@twin You have some amazing pairs of XHSib yourself. (If you ever washed them I suspect we might reach denim nirvana).

And let's not forget Jcaz, he has some incredible pairs as well. And Oaktavia of course.
