Day 171, 0 soak, 1 wash

Almost 6 months in this beauty.

First time taking the jacket outside.

Day 184, 1 initial soak & 0 washes.
Pretty bummed I have to hang this pair up soon since II is around the corner, they’re just now starting to really peak.

Took my flat shots today because I always seem to forget to.

Ready for this competition! Even though the new start date could be as early as the 27th, I’m going to still begin on sept 1st to make a full 7 months with my current UHR’s (which will happen on the 31st.)

On the 27th or 28th though I will do the soak and get that part out of the way so they’re good to go on the 1st.

Triple denim for the foreseeable future

It’s also my first year competing and I’m in it to win it baby. We’ll see how that works out lol.

I’ve been wearing my 888S-UHR’s in this Florida heat the last 6 months, they’ll hit 7 by the time IIY5 begins - going to feel nice throwing on and breaking in this heavier denim in the “cooler” months to come - though it won’t actually start being “cooler” til’ probably late October.

What’s up folks! I’m Ish. @worn2fade on IG. Loving this forum and the community. Solid people in some solid denim.

6 months, 1 initial soak, 0 wash.

Was going to wash them at this 6 month mark but since they’ll make 7 months exactly the day before IIY5 begins, I’m just holding off until then.

I regret throwing a multi tool in the back pocket next to the wallet lol - we live and we learn.

10 days down, who knows how many more to go!

Any off-roaders / overlanders in here?

It’s my 3 year anniversary with my 4runner today.

6 months of daily wear today

Time to kickstart this thread back to life. Triple denim life!

Jacket opened:

@sabergirl

hahaha no joke! With a T-Shirt it honestly doesn’t look all that different but I could definitely feel a little extra space.

Closed Jacket:

Open Jacket:

Comparing the jacket to my best fitting iron heart shirt these are the measurement losses I need for an exact match:

1.25” shoulder loss
0.25” chest loss
1.25” arm length loss
0.40” arm width loss

Considering I’ll be layering this shirt under it for example ima just trust the process. I doubt the shoulders will lose 1.25” since the shrink test was more around an inch after soaking and washing but I’m hopeful this will work out.

The last picture is how the shirt fits me.
