@indigostiff respect for sticking with them!
If I ever get the chance to try the 40oz Naked and Famous jeans I might sacrifice a couple of winter seasons in my IHs for the thrill of wearing something super, super heavyweight.
Massive gimmick, but I'm a low key masochist when it comes to stiff and heavy clothing.

@FlavourFade said in SoSo Jeans - 33 oz Double Indigo Selvedge Jeans:
I think their fading potential is awesome but for some reason it made me feel awkward that so many "denimfluencers" were suddenly wearing SoSo .. don't know if cooperations are common in selvedge denim world and sure IH is no underdog but still it feels off for me
Noticed this as well man. SoSo and Master Supply Co. No experience with either companies gear but does make you pause.

@flannel-slut yes it's completely the same... They give them stuff for free to post about it... Talked to a guy who was given a jacket of his choice
-
@flannel-slut To me, that's just marketing, and whatever works, companies do. It's same as other companies having reels posted of the journeys of sponsored people in their clothing at exotic locations. It's exposure / marketing. Plus, at $365, these were a relative bargain in the heavyweight denim world, allowing customization on the selvedge / button hole color / etc., plus the quality is surprisingly good.

@indigostiff not a knock on these practices/companies per se but more so to some of the “denimfluencers”. Wont call out any in particular (unless pursued maybe) where they do not disclose if this was purchased with their own money or not and have even specifically asked in their comments, if so, to no reply. Do not get me wrong, both companies haves turned my heads with some of their pieces but feel first hand testaments, such as yours, go a lot further in building a genuine rapport with their customer base

At 100 wears... 50 more till wash.

@Giobcn They have overall become more wearable - still not as much as the 25oz 666s, but overall wearable. They're fading at a faster rate than the 666s, too.

-
@Giobcn You'll appreciate the stitching, too. I haven't had a single issue with mine in around 105 wears. They're tough!
-
@indigostiff It shows that they are very resistant! I had them in hot water for 1 hour but I haven't noticed any shrinkage.
-
@Giobcn they're like wearing a fire hose!
-
@indigostiff I agree with you!
