IHxB01xOD - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Overdyed

+1 to the nice fades

^^ as far as washing it depends on what you are going for

In my short time here I've tried to keep a mental not of washes/soaks vs wear, contrast, and fades.  From what I've noticed it seems 2-3 months depending on lifestyle and wear is about how long I want to go between washings, it seems to be a good balance of between dark contrasty fades and having actual indigo jeans instead of indigo top halfs and almost black lower legs yet.

Well put…I wash when dirty...it seems my mother was right...nothing wrong with clean jeans.

Thinking of gettin' me a pair of these: love my 666xhs but the rise means my arse hangs out when I tattoo and ride my motorbike (shoulda gone the mega BB in hindsight). Figured if I get the OD, at least it's basically a totally different jean right?
Dang, seems I'm already an addict after only one pair.

If I'm rocking a pair of 666xhs in a 33, reckon I go the same size in these? Anyone?

[Giles]

I would size up one.

About 4 months in. Everyday wear. They're being washed right now, will post post-wash photos once they're dry.

hi everybody! this is my first time posting pictures in here so here goes

around 8 months of effective wear, and once washed, never really had time to put them in my rotation anymore since they are a tad to big and the heat is something else here in jakarta!

sorry for the weak fades and all, cheers!

Thank you for not being too proud to admit it.

hahaha true, most iron heads in Indonesia won't admit that it's hot and humid, but I still find myself wearing my 301s in this weather

Well, two months into wear so figured I would go ahead and give a cold
Soak to the ODs. Not crazy Evo, but figured strengthening up the threads is never a bad idea…

Enjoy

And some post soak starch!

Looking for a good black pant for business casual work, between this and the 555-03.  None of the superblack cuts work for me, so I will be going with a pair that will fade.  My questions to owners..do you think this could (initially anyway) pass for a business casual pant and if it were worn once or twice a week tops, be a slow enough fader to get some use?

[Giles]

Yes

[Mild7]

Appfaff those look goooood.  Such a great colour those Od's.  And justin, good for work for around 6 months or so.  At least in my exp.

[Appfaff]

Thanks @Mild7

Gave them a second soak two weeks ago and have some blues trying to show through
