IH-888-XHSMB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut - Mad Black

@BD81:

It's crazy how slow these fade compared to the og xhs. Only reason i am considering washing them is that I have some unidentified white spots on the bottom of the one leg. I'm going to try wiping it off with a wet cloth first, could be salt from the great white northern winter.

I haven’t washed mine yet, I’ve only got maybe 30 days in them though.

Yeah, if it’s on the back of your leg then that’s definitely salt. It’s a pain in the butt too. Doesn’t come off without a wash.

Let us know what you plan to do. I am super curious about this fabric.

Coming up on four months. Two machine washes. Lots of muted blues coming through. Hard to photograph this pair. Its dark and complex. Probably my favorite iteration of the OD.

@GTPowers you’re right. The MB’s are definitely hard to snap a pic of that shows the various hues as the indigo sheds in certain areas. Even while wearing them it kinda seems like nothing is happening until you see them in the right light. Your pair is looking nice and broken in, also looks like you may have some fades coming through in the top block.

Gave them their 4th soak after a weekend of "sick dog" clean up. Lots of blue starting to pop! Shame I'll be shelving these for the XHSBB on April 1st.

I'm assuming for the II Y3? If so, which pair did you choose? If not ignore this message

[jordanscollected]

sometimes the things that don't "work out" are the most fun to own as time passes. I'm happy you have these Steve, as you are a great fader and documenter of progress.

[Fades for future]

@Oaktavia looks killa man

[Oaktavia]

@jordanscollected hey thanks, Jeff! I was planning on putting these on ice until the fall but plans have changed. I will be posting my progress here with this pair, but it might be a little while (or so I hear)...

[Oaktavia]

@Fades-for-future thanks dude, I'm hella stoked

@Oaktavia beautifull twinning there

@Oaktavia - look amazing and I am sure you will do them justice. I have been after a pair for ages - where did you get them from?

[JunkPants]

Nice, great combo with the lighter waxed jacket as well.

@Heavy_blue and I made a trade after they did not fit him properly. I plan to wear them as often as I can until it is too hot outside for them. I'm excited to see what they evo into.

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants thanks man, I agree the contrast creates a nice combo
