Some details on my 555XHSib at the 500 wears mark:




A much loved shirt, 6 years, many wears and some washes onward...

Does what I was wearing in October 2022, according to Google Streetview, count?
I haven't looked or posted here on WAYWT in ages--sorry. But feeling bored, I was playing with Google Streetview, and remembered seeing one of their cars when I was biking around with my kid some time ago. So I found myself on Streetview, and just had to share with the Forum.
Pretty sure I'm wearing the lefty trucker, IH-825-IND, and Custom Wescos.

It's been a few years since I last ordered with UES directly from Japan, but this time I got hold of their hickory traveling shirt. Ordered on Tuesday, delivered to the Netherlands on Friday, pretty amazing. Very happy with shirt, and also with the handwritten card and goody!


I'm not a regular here but I was pleased with this one here:

Hiking in the southernmost tip of Norway, wearing the 247-IND and the 101J, on and off.
The stats: 641 wears, 6 washes
Four years into the journey...

The fades on this fabric are very subtle and hard to capture on photo:

Some fraying on the hems of the sleeves:


Also the lining is wearing thin in some places like the collar:

@bilos2511 The 21oz denim is much more supple and breathable than the 25 XHSib, which is thick and crunchy and not particularly breathable. I usually put away my 25 XHSib for the warmer months, but my 21 oz I wear throughout the year. I find them even more breathable and more comfortable on warmer days than my 14 oz bb.
