Same jeans but different shirt and jacket, as my 101J was being repaired at IHUK at the time.

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

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.

Fresh after a wash:

Great fit @Rangadello!

Here are some pics of my pair after 500 wears @twin

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!

The stats: 641 wears, 6 washes

Slowly but surely:

The 246-NIN is one of the shirts I wear the most and yet it stubbornly holds on to its color. That must be the natural Indigo...

Only the "edges" of the shirt and the roping show some more contrast:

Faded by the sun....

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:

Here is my pair, fresh after a wash. I'm at 417 wears. For the first time, they need some repair/reinforcement in the crotch--one area there is wearing pretty thin.

@WhiskeySandwich @Oaktavia Some pics of my IHSH-08, which must be over ten years old...

It's a non-fade 16 oz black denim, though there is some light marbling on the back:

Gave mine a second wash after ~200 wears…

@CosmoSix5 I think it was mentioned here recently that this is one is only for the international market and not released in Japan. But somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
