[Fades for future]

[Jcaz6996]

@hoppy_IPA ain’t that the truth!!!

[Mizmazzle]

@Jcaz6996 far out man!! My XHS are just starting to get good. But seeing this just lets me know I’ve got a long ways to go still haha

[Jcaz6996]

It’s the best part seeing the fades starting to develop keep throwing those bad boys on every morning mate won’t be long

About 70 days worn at this point.
Other than the original soak+wash before use, one wash at around 50 wears or so.

Coming out nicely

@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

[Lowlander]

@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.

[fatmike71]

@Lowlander i’m thinking of doing it mostly because of this fade shift everyone is talking about..

[JunkPants]

@fatmike71 Great pair of jeans! I'd say these are my all time favourite so far.

You may be fine either way, but I did an early soak (and a wash) with this pair and it worked out great. Peace of mind if nothing else, to get most of the shrinkage out right away.

It may soften things up a bit as well. This particular pair was very soft right out of the paper bag though, and comfort would have been excellent either way, whereas I felt my XHSBB was quite stiff initially and certainly softened up a bit with a soak/wash.
