Same jeans but different shirt and jacket, as my 101J was being repaired at IHUK at the time.

Some details on my 555XHSib at the 500 wears mark:

Does what I was wearing in October 2022, according to Google Streetview, count?

I haven't looked or posted here on WAYWT in ages--sorry. But feeling bored, I was playing with Google Streetview, and remembered seeing one of their cars when I was biking around with my kid some time ago. So I found myself on Streetview, and just had to share with the Forum.

Pretty sure I'm wearing the lefty trucker, IH-825-IND, and Custom Wescos.

Fresh after a wash:

Great fit @Rangadello!

Here are some pics of my pair after 500 wears @twin

The 246-NIN is one of the shirts I wear the most and yet it stubbornly holds on to its color. That must be the natural Indigo...

Only the "edges" of the shirt and the roping show some more contrast:

Slowly but surely:

@Gavin666 mine was a bit large on me when I first got it, so I gave it a hot wash ( 40 degrees Celsius). There was some shrinkage--just enough for me--but not yet half a size if I remember correctly.

@Oaktavia Looking forward to your five year update in November 2029!

LOL, me too! Cool you're starting on a new XHSib! They're so much fun to fade.

@Oaktavia cheers! Yes, I do love these jeans! And also, they're holding up really well! I wouldn't be surprised if I'm still wearing them in another 5 years. In any case, I'll keep you updated.

@denimdad cheers, I'm at 287 wears to be exact!

Yes, I do find them quite hot. The fabric has a tight weave so it doesn't breathe as well as others. On warm days, I find my 777s-21 more comfortable than these.

@RubyRae thanks! They make some great pieces for sure.

@RubyRae That is a stunning flannel, I can't believe I missed that one. Do you remember what season this was?

@RJScheuerle good to hear your efforts paid off!
