Hope you got to see some of the rare wildlife during your trip (how could you not?)
Because I spent from 06:30 to 18:00 out at sea on a boat
Saw a shit load of marine life, but nothing on land.
I did see the most squalid poverty I have ever seen (and I have been to a lot of bad places), it would have been pretty depressing but for the fact that I did not see a single child without the broadest grin on their face - even if they were digging through stinking refuse heaps with only a stick to help them....

for example, the 18 oz vintage
Interestingly enough, I decided that with the 18oz vintage that I would wash them a lot (a LOT more than I normally do, even when I did not think they actually needed it), and the results were lovely
-
@Giles That's a truly vintage approach in every way then, as folks 'back-in-the-day' cared not for high contrast fades and just washed their clothes plenty. I was told several times when I was first getting into raw denim that washing often is essentially a mistake--certainly not the case here. Safe travels and look forward to more of your and Adam's fades on these as I just picked up a pair of this denim.
-
@Giles oh wow, that would be hard for me to see, but then again, I've never left the states.
I just checked out the 18oz 666 thread to see what you were referring to. I really dig the way your pair turned out and it's cool to hear they were washed a lot. They are vintage fades with contrast at the same time- a killer combo.

@Giles but how else are you going break in the leathers on the boat other than conditioning them with indigo

@AdamC looks really great
