Thanks @Max Power. @Jett129
@beautiful_FrEaK is correct. It is Pure blue japan 6079 size 4.

Cool, it doesn't look as loud as PBJ normally does so I wouldn't have thought of them.

[Dion]

I've never seen anything loud from PBJ, though.

You've done good work @nizzel55. They resemble you! Beautiful pair of beautiful denim

Restocked inc for the first time tag 42.

Sizing chart being updated as I type….

I grabbed a pair of these in size 30 and need to hem. I will wash and dryer them. How much shrinkage in length can I expect with normal wash and dry?  I know an inch is to be expected but I've never got that even with the hottest washes and most brutal dryer sessions so I'm looking for real world input.  Thanks, Nick

[Giles]

Anything between 1/2 and 1 inch….....

Picked up a pair. Can't wait to hem to start breaking them in.

One hour long hot soak, drip dry. Tag size 36
Format is pre/post (measurement in inches)

Waist 37.6/36

2017-01-17 - 422 days (2 soaks, 8 machine washes. )

Comparison
Left Enells pair: 595 days, 2 soaks 1 machine wash.
Right My pair: 422 days, 2 soaks, 8 machine washes.

[Max Power]

both pairs look fantastic, high potential for the win.

[nizzel55]

Thanks @Max Power
It is fun being able to compare our jeans. For some reason Enells pair is holding up better then mine. I doubt my pair will survive to 600 days. Have to do small repairs every week now on mine.

@nizzel55:

From left to right.

IH-666S: 431 days, 8 soaks and 4 machine washes
IH-666SII: 424 days, 2 soaks and 8 machine washes
IH-666UHR: 172 days, 6 soaks and 1 machine wash

Took quite some more pictures of the jeans. Might add some more photos later

Interesting how little the II differs over many wears from the standard versions.

[Peter]

Wrong pictures on the website (at least for me). Showing the Lefty instead of SII.

[Alex]

Thanks, @Peter. Will take a look now.

Needed some sizing help on these as I wanted to buy a pair next week. My first pair of jeans were the IH634S in a 42… i've lost weight since then and am now a 40. So on the sizing chart if I look at a 40 it has (41), is that the actual size before a wash, where they'd go to 40 post wash? And if they are a 41 to begin with would they stretch to a 42 give or take? Would I be better off with a 38 and letting the stretch? Just wanted peoples experiences. Joe

I would say these and the 18oz denim are the quickest fading IH denim in the midweight category.

And of course the Double Duck, if that Counts as Jeans. And then there's still the question wether "best Fading Jeans" means "quickest Fading Jeans"…
