[the246guy]

Where do you do the submission? Do I have to do it every month?

[Daniel San]

Yes every month
You get a email where you can upload your pic, same as with the raw proof. But this time upload is fast .
Check your emails, I got the email yesterday.

Looking good @Daniel San

[RoxRocks86]

Been slacking on this pair cuz fit got too baggy from stretching and/or losing a few. Sending them in for alterations. So far got about 2 weeks wear & 3 washes in.

[Daniel San]

Looking good too Rox !
Do you wear´m at work ? Looks like paint spots ?

[Jcaz6996]

IH-555-XHS
1 month update
1 initial soak
0 wash
31 days of wear

[Daniel San]

wow, that looks amazing for just one month of wear.
great job Jcaz6996 !
next hall of fade ? 

[Jcaz6996]

Cheers bud definitely feel these fade quicker then the XHSIB last year I wore my pair under waterproof bottoms for a couple of months in work because of the weather and I didn’t do a initial soak so I think that gave them a slow start. These XHS initial soak out the way and I’ve just been wearing them what ever the weather .
Hall of fades have to see mate

[Daniel San]

Think they fade quicker in general when soaked or washed before wearing,at least thats my experiece.

[Jcaz6996]

Yeh definitely agree Y2 first couple of weeks were brutal in the XHSib
No problem this year.
Prefer XHS

[BlueBlood]

I wore these for about half of April. Love them (more on that in a bit), but they're currently sharing leg time with my XHSib. And I think I'm going to retire my 19 oz Samurais and replace them with a pair of standard model XHS, so that'll make my winter rotation even more crowded.

Obviously, I'm not expecting to place anywhere in the Invitational (I like wearing a jeans in a rotation of 2-3), and I instead use these contests as a framework and source of motivation to get 120+ wears on a slow-fading pair of jeans (such as these 21 oz). These will have that nice lived-in look next March.

I have to say that while I think that the XHS denim is more interesting, fades better, and is better to wear in cold weather, I still think that the OG 21 oz has the best combination of comfort and practicality. If I could only own one pair of jeans, it would be a pair of 777S-21.

[Jcaz6996]

XHS great for the cold weather haven’t worn thermal bottoms working on site in 2 years now lol , not the greatest when the summer comes .

Your pair starting to take shape @BlueBlood looking good.

[BlueBlood]

Thanks, @Jcaz6996 !

[the246guy]

This is where I stand after 1 month. Not that much happening yet.

[Daniel San]

Love the indigo black, you made a good choice
Already nice combs

[Jcaz6996]

Yeh definitely agree XHSIB are incredible around the  9month mark 

[neph93]

Much like most other folks, my first month submissions were unexciting…

However they don’t do the slub justice… up close there are things occurring:

[Daniel San]

But more going on than on my 18oz Reuben
Washed or soaked?

[neph93]

No wash or soak in these pics. In for their first wash as I write.

[Daniel San]

Ah ok , so the norwegian canalization has to deal with lots of indigo soon
