It worked!! They didn’t shrink that much on the waist and they fit perfectly.

Now, pray so that I don’t have to go to the restroom at the office (buttons are still a b!tch).

Alright, received my pair today. Since the waist is already on the “iffy” side, decided to do the initial soak wearing them.

Feel super dumb.

@natefreezy In my opinion it has more character.

The regular indigo looks like what a regular pair of jeans should look.

The indigo/black is “richer” ( can’t find the right word ) and versatile- it can be dressed up or dressed down when new; and as it starts fading, it looks with more character.

Don’t get me wrong, I have a pair of 21oz 555s in regular indigo and I love them.

The way I use them is, the indigos are my goto when going casual. The IB my goto when going “smart casual” to the office and whatnot (when they fade, they will become casual too).

@AdamJ Great news. Thanks.

@AdamJ Hi!! Any updates on the restock?

@twin May I ask how you achieve those fades? How many wears vs washes/soaks, etc?

Thanks!

Screw it! I went full on Canadian Tux to the office today.

I’m going to make the stupidest question.

Do they really not fade? So I can wash them after a few wears as supposed to after 100 and they will not fade?

Seriously, apologies if I’m being super dense.

Love wearing the 888s instead of Chinos or whatever for office days.

@AdamJ Do we have a date or should I keep refreshing my browser every hour?

@Jcaz6996 Hey!! It’s funny you are here. Your videos are what convinced me about getting this pair and also the jacket. Thanks!

Received this pair today. They are way better than expected; the color is great.

I will give them the initial hot soak to get all the shrinkage out of the way and have them hemmed next week.

This is how they fit pre-soak (some how I lost my butt ).

Just received my pair and the color is amazing.
