Indigo Invitational Y3
-
Think they fade quicker in general when soaked or washed before wearing,at least thats my experiece.
-
I wore these for about half of April. Love them (more on that in a bit), but they're currently sharing leg time with my XHSib. And I think I'm going to retire my 19 oz Samurais and replace them with a pair of standard model XHS, so that'll make my winter rotation even more crowded.
Obviously, I'm not expecting to place anywhere in the Invitational (I like wearing a jeans in a rotation of 2-3), and I instead use these contests as a framework and source of motivation to get 120+ wears on a slow-fading pair of jeans (such as these 21 oz). These will have that nice lived-in look next March.
I have to say that while I think that the XHS denim is more interesting, fades better, and is better to wear in cold weather, I still think that the OG 21 oz has the best combination of comfort and practicality. If I could only own one pair of jeans, it would be a pair of 777S-21.

XHS great for the cold weather haven’t worn thermal bottoms working on site in 2 years now lol , not the greatest when the summer comes .
Your pair starting to take shape @BlueBlood looking good.

Thanks, @Jcaz6996 !

This is where I stand after 1 month. Not that much happening yet.
-
Love the indigo black, you made a good choice
Already nice combs -
But more going on than on my 18oz Reuben
Washed or soaked? -
Ah ok , so the norwegian canalization has to deal with lots of indigo soon
-
Hmm I'm thinking about entering my 1955s that I have been wearing for about 1-2 months now. I know they have one wash and I will get a few of the Fade Logs from Tannery South in the mail today. That'll help me keep a more accurate log of wears and washes. On the days I dont wear the 55s, I will be wearing my 634SLBs that I should be getting this week or next back from hemming. How long will Y3 last?
-
next month done, no wash / no soak
nothing special happened
-
@Daniel San Those are some superb vintage fade vibes.
-
thank you !
but I think that it´s not that different when compared to last month.
it seems that the 18 oz is fading slowly, but I expect them to start rocking after the first wash. -
2 month update. Def haven’t worn these everyday. Ended up sending these to Indigo Proof for waist alterations so they’d stop falling off me while working and also got full leg taper. Time to get the ball rolling on these now now that they fit.
