IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
The sun came out this afternoon and after a couple of winters of wear I noticed some electric blue fades appearing - stubborn buggers!
-
@Jcaz6996 those are the fades everyone dreams of when they get their first pair of raws
-
@Jcaz6996 there he goes.. amazing dude!
-
@Jcaz6996 These are total mate
-
@hoppy_IPA lol nice one mate tuned out great love XHS . Loads of life left in them yet just going to stop wearing them to work as my tool belt is rubbing through the stitching on the side of hip.

Thanks pal how are your UHR coming along?
-
@Fades-for-future cheers mate there feeling super snug at the moment after giving them a wash should relax soon
-
@Jcaz6996 UHR is a fast fader for sure but most of my wear goes into my XHSbb right now.. will post some UHR updates soon
-
@Jcaz6996 can imagine washed mine too and hiked in em today
-
@Jcaz6996 yes but not much...
-
@hoppy_IPA ain’t that the truth!!!

About 70 days worn at this point.
Other than the original soak+wash before use, one wash at around 50 wears or so. -
@Kasi Thanks! Slow and steady
-
is it ok if i didn’t do an initial soak on my 555-xhs.. just been wearing them everyday since they arrived.. still super stiff i’m thinking to maybe soak them? i’ve only been wearing them 20 days so i wouldn’t expect them to be too comfy yet

@fatmike71 That's certainly a good idea. A hot soak with plenty of agitation will get most of the shrinkage out. And the advantage of that is that your fades won't shift after a wash. Also, an early soak doesn't mean your jeans will no longer get high contrast fades, so no need to worry about that.
