@Daniel San 18oz looking good
are they still crisp and crunchy or have they softened up some?@Jcaz6996 you going hard on those xhs! How you enjoying them compared the the xhsib?
Loving them @RoxRocks86.
XHSib we’re my first pair of denim I put solid time into I made the mistake of not doing the initial soak so I remember the first couple of weeks being brutal .
And Y2 started in Oct cold and wet in the UK
And working on site is not good so wore them under waterproof bottoms to keep them clean .XHS feel great , that first soak is key .
Just the odd day on site wearing waterproof bottoms.still looking forward to seeing some good weather.Your pair look great you thinking of wearing them every day until the end ?

Merci !!!! @RoxRocks86 -

Hey James ,
so far I felt no need for washing my pair. But now after the first really warm week with lots of sweat I think
they need a first wash soon ::)
what would you recommend for the first wash ?
inside out a must ?
cold or warm ? -
It indeed was warm the last couple of days and I still managed to wear my XHSiB at every opportunity. I remember @Lowlander saying in one of his post that in Summer the XHS family is like a sweat pant and it indeed is very undeniably true. It feels heaven taking them off after a few minutes of wear.

Hi mate I prefer to wash in the bath tub hot water roughly around 40c put a couple of scoops of Samurai soap in there swirl it all around and submerge jeans i don’t turn them inside out don’t leave for 30mins with agitation.
fill back up with hot water and put back in for another 30mins
Drip dry on washing line , keep a eye on because I put them on damp and wear around the house set the creases back in , when they look set take them off and put back on the line to dry.Everyone has different ways washing machine etc this is the way I prefer mate

@Jcaz6996
does the Kaminati Samurai soap has a certain smell ? or odor ?
we have no bath tub ::) only a shower. -
Sorry to hear that Rueben–-sh*t happens as they say.
Hope you are doing well though and look forward to your return.

Hey competitors,
it’s time again for the monthly submission! -
next month done, no wash no soak yet
-
Thx James,
the 18oz vintage is a fantastic denim, not the fastest fader but very beautiful.
Wait as long as possible before first wash. The last days were sweating , but it will be a bit colder next days.
Since I wear IH stuff , I hate summer
-
Wow great work. Impressively fast.

Cheers @Nkwkfld having a physical job helps we don’t stop all day .
Reason I entered last year the amount of time I’m out of the house and being on site erecting timber frame houses tough job a great job to beat a pair of jeans up.Y2 was more concerned about keeping them clean to wear them 365/365 so first couple of months last year going through the winter wore waterproof bottoms over the top when it was wet and rainy on site .
This year starting in April haven’t bothered apart from the odd rainy day.
These are definitely fading quicker compared to my XHSIB I wore last year maybe that initial soak is key . -
wow James , they look awsome !
next pair for the Hall of Fades -
80ish days. 3 washes.
