IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk

@Oaktavia I've always loved the XHSib. Something about how dark and inky the denim is when it's new and how bright and contrasty the stitching is. They're not in stock otherwise I'd be making a poor financial decision right now
And holy crap those UHR are fading fast!

@GardenState Yup exactly why I love the XHSib so much. It's just so awesome all around. Hopefully when they are in stock you can snag one.
Yeah, my first pair of new UHR. I've had a few second hand pairs. Always told on her they fade fast and I have not been disappointed.

You're blazing those uhr's @Oaktavia going to be great to see what you do with the indigo black. Cool to have Mike's memory with all this too. I like the stacks too, I wore my uhr with stacks yesterday and enjoyed it.
The key for fading quickly for me I think is long hour days of each wear, 15-16 hours each time.
Mike and I had super similar tastes in denim. We used to talk about it at length and as much as I miss that, at least a lot of his thoughts are recorded on here.
I like stacks and prefer the stack/single cuff. Gotta have at least a little cuff imo. But at the same time it's just easier to have the Tokyo turn up as they slip on and off easier. That's what I'll keep doing with my UHR

@Oaktavia Hey bud , Same bought another pair back in March 555XHSIb still tucked away in my drawer thinking of doing the same rotation between 2 New pairs of XHS in the New year the XHSib and the XHSBB or been thinking of sticking with my XHS for another 6months / year to see what 2 years of wear looks like. Never really worn a pair longer then 1 year ..

There's like some psychic denimhead mind alignment going on here man. It feels awesome to put on a new pair of XHSib. Especially remembering how rad they are to fade like did a few years ago. It would be super cool to see you fade two new pairs of XHS. With the way we both fade our pairs and how long we wear our denim each day. Would be rad to fade two at a time see where we go. Photograph both pairs at the same time with updates. Good to hear from you homie.

Right on man I will definitely be posting progress on here. It'll be a little slower than usual because I'm putting effort into fading to pairs at once this go around.
That's cool you started the 555-142ii, such an awesome denim. I have a pair of that denim cut into shorts. It's got such awesome and richly saturated colors.
-
@Oaktavia and i will follow your progress man
yes this ii Denim is awesome and bleeds like hell haha -
@Fades-for-future I Iove it when it bleeds. My white NB tounges are now indigo.
-
@Oaktavia Hell yeah, this is the way

Day 15 in these incredible heavyweights. These jeans are already showing me why they remain to be my all time favorite denim IH has to offer. Back in 2018, my first pair of IHs were 555XHSib and they blew me away with their awesome color, fades and feel. Stoked for these 888s, as they fit far better than my 555s did. I don't know how I even wore those tight fitting ones before. 888s are absolutely perfect.

@Oaktavia Which do you like better? I think I already know the answer to this question
