@mclaincausey that is hilarious

@Jett129 I like Smoky Blacks but @neph93 really is hitting home with that one…this thread got me giggling

[Nskelton]

@Oaktavia @neph93  Chalky wrinkles?

[steelworker]

@Joberwocky:

My vote's for "radiant alabaster"

I like it-needs more pretension though :-\

What about" even layer of buff colored vomit?"

[Oaktavia]

Here are some of those smoky-black-radiant-alabaster-chalky-snailtrail-chalky-wrinkles–even-layer-of-buff-colored-vomit fades...Pardon the dog hair I tried getting it off but some are glued to me I swear.

@Oaktavia @neph93  Chalky wrinkles?

Definitely some chalky wrinkles going on there. A smattering of ethereal staining too.

[Jett129]

And some Sleepy Wizard Combs!

[Joberwocky]

@Oaktavia those jeans are looking awesome.  While I was in art school I had a pair of jeans I always wore when painting that had a bunch of colored swipes on them.  They were my absolute favorite jeans until they literally fell apart.  Keep up the good work!

Also, dog hairs must be part glue…can never get rid of all of them

@Jett129:

Sleepy Wizard Combs!

Perfect

[Oaktavia]

@Joberwocky hah sounds like a few pairs of pants I had while I was also in art school. It is kind of bringing be back. And yes I suppose I must accept my dog hair everywhere fate from now on.

@Jett129 haha love it

[Oaktavia]

Starting to see some more fading on the top thighs. Perhaps these are quick to shed?

[Oaktavia]

@LewisStonehouse here is a photo dump of my pair, as requested. Just over a month of wear, 4-5 days a week. Some of the coloration is dust, which is more brown whereas the fades are charcoal and chalky.

[LewisStonehouse]

@Oaktavia thanks man, they look epicccc 

[Oaktavia]

@LewisStonehouse no problemo dude. Definitely favoring this pair over my other 25oz jeans. Really want to see how far these will go…

[Paul9221]

That's some fantastic wear, Oak!

[Oaktavia]

[Oaktavia]

After first cold soak with no agitation. I put a little detergent in there because we have two four month old golden retrievers. I wanted to be careful with this pair, so no washing machine and no heat followed by laying gently on a laundry rack with old towels on the porch. Hopefully they will dry by morning for work tomorrow. I think I'm at around seven weeks wearing five-six times/week.

[LewisStonehouse]

Nice Steven! They’re looking great. I don’t know about you but I’ve found my pair really easy to break in compared to regular XHS, and already got a few ashy spots starting to show

[ddtrash]

Broke my pair out since the UK weather has now turned.

Liking the beard….

@Giles

Thanks, never grown one before.  Surprised myself with just how white it is now.  Christmas coming soon, maybe I can pick up some department store Santa work , Billy Bob Thornton style
