After seeing @LewisStonehouse 's semi-marbled result of a machine wash with his 888 pair, I decided that after five months of nearly daily wear, it was time for my pair earned a deeper clean than a bathtub & detergent soak. Especially considering I've had puppy drool, dirty paws and dander all over them since August x2.

After drying last night, they are super clean and crispy! Just a little bit of marbling here and there, nothing crazy. The fades in general are brighter and pop a bit more. The honeycombs seem to have fallen back into place.

I really do like the process of soaking with detergent for the first few times they feel dirty over the first several months, and then moving on to a washing machine. This worked wonderfully with my 555XHSib and I plan to continue this process with my 777XHSib. One of my favorite feelings with denim in general is the super crispy feeling of a bone-dry clean pair that had previously been filthy.

I'm wearing them at work today and will take photos soon to share my result. Probably around 100 wears at this point.

First machine wash results. What do y'all think my friends?

[kkibbey23]

Will these or same denim in other cuts be re run at some point?

It does say Seasonal or Limited Run,so maybe not. I’m guessing your size is sold out in any cut you might be interested in.

[kkibbey23]

[mention]Jett129 [/mention] Yup, and honestly I’ve got a pretty good backlog of 25oz to work through. But seeing how these wear my FOMO is setting in[emoji23]

I think I read somewhere in the forum that these were likely not going to be rerun. IIRC something about so many other denims in the mix even the UHR is far off in the distance.

…@Oaktavia those pics make me happy to have both the 777 and 888-XHSBB cuts!

...BB has a really unique way of evolving, cool stuff!

Hell yeah brother, super stoked I chose this denim for my first real black pair of raws. XHS really is king.

@Oaktavia How long did they go unwashed? The pics look epic. May be it is the way this denim fades? Looks muted but the contrast is clearly visible.

[Oaktavia]

@the246guy I soaked them with detergent in a tub two or three times over five months and machine washed them the other day. Muted contrast is a good way to put it, though I see bright whites on the horizon.

@Oaktavia love your dedication to this denim. Your pair looks great man! Must feel great putting these on after a wash
