I’m sure this has been asked but is this stiffer than the 21oz after initial soak? I have the 25oz and it’s just too stiff

[Luijim78]

@Jbarb7 yes it is much stiffer than the 21oz and stiffer than the 25oz (which softens after some wear)

[Jbarb7]

@Luijim78 thanks

[Oaktavia]

So it begins @Nik

[Nik]

Dude @Oaktavia great start

[Oaktavia]

@Nik thanks man, I reached 250 wears with my pair of 634XHS and think that will be it for now. Focusing on these and soon to be 888XHSib. 15 days so far in the UHR. How're yours?

[Nik]

@Oaktavia great stuff. I’m loving wearing mine but they are nowhere near yours. I am the tortoise and you are Achilles

[Oaktavia]

@Nik i like your chain setup, that's cool. We all enjoy them in our own way. My ADHD means I obsess over wearing them for long period of time. Better than drugs!

[Nik]

Much better

[Oaktavia]

Day 22 888UHR
Day 1 888XHSib

[Subprime]

Almost 300 days in the UHRs

[Oaktavia]

@Subprime looking super nice. Do you count washes too?

[Subprime]

@Oaktavia I sure do! I’m at 10 washes, first one was at day 55. I wash hot every time. I tumble dry hot until they are bone dry about every other wash.

[Oaktavia]

@Subprime wow, nice dude great fades. Thanks for sharing.

At the recent party on Gosport, @Giles punched out my name in a piece of cardboard/stock. He used this awesome old timey letter punching mechanical machine in the repairs shop. @endo was there and I think @Fades-for-future was too but I didn't realize it was him at the time. Anyways Giles was saying he spray painted tshirts or something similar with other words he punched previously.

Not sure who's idea it was to spray my name stencil on a pocket bag of my new UHRs I had just bought there. Giles said the paint he used before in the shop had been there for a while and was likely too old to risk it. He recommended I just do it at home. So here it is, my modded pocketbag name tag made my the dude himself. Just got around to doing it tonight. Oh, and not to forget the Boss's John Hancock below it (don't fret, I made sure to cover it before spraying).

I didn't notice before but it appears a certain someone must have been shown the nifty letter punching machine before me. Wonder who it could be. @Kasi
