Now I need to decide whether or not I want an 888 or 634...I think it might be 888.

[TinMan]

@Oaktavia do the 888, had these for years I was so in my head scared to soak them. That was dumb! Really like them. Had my current pair hemmed to 34.5 post first soak and the shrank to 33. Next pair I am getting un hemmed.

[Memphisakers]

@scarfmace DUDE… Those look great!! Mike would definitely be proud. Really glad to see them getting some love!

RESTOCK

[GardenState]

@scarfmace Great googily moogily these are beautiful!

[scarfmace]

@GardenState thank you! I'm waiting for their return and will take a couple more pictures under natural light. or, the guys at IHUK could put them under their lens? @Graham

[GardenState]

@scarfmace I know these fade faster than the xhs but do they also produce higher contrast fades. They look that way to me.

[scarfmace]

@GardenState I couldn't tell you, I have not yet owned a pair of XHS.

[steelworker]

@GardenState yes they do

[Oaktavia]

I followed the Iron Heart care instructions and hot soaked these in a tub for an hour. Then washed them (no detergent) with hot water, no spin, drip dry. As you can see in the photos, I asked @Giles to sign a pocket bag last weekend while he was conveniently standing near Haraki out back of IHHQ in Gosport. He then motioned towards the Boss with the marker I handed him and of course I nodded my head. Thanks, G!!!

Later, I was briefly speaking with @neph93 about how I was unsure which new denim to start with as I have an unworn pair of 888XHSib waiting for me too at home. He then suggested to simply just wear both. Great idea Reuben! I'll start these UHR tomorrow and my 888XHSib on Halloween, which will make a year since starting my 634XHS. Mayve a two year, two denim rotation journey. Woo!

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia so cool!!

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle full nerd!

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia 100%

[Luijim78]

@Oaktavia I love them my friend, I got a pair in the 666 cut and they are probably my favorite (this summer I wore them almost always alternating them with the 777s 21MB. I can't wait to see what you do with them with your usual magic.

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia Great stuff. You will work your magic on these, as usual. UHR or SBG will be my next pair, once I’ve put some miles on the 18oz I picked up in August

[Tobi]

I had the 888 in hand at the party, but besides the fact that it feels like a self-defence weapon, my usual 36" would be too tight with the 1" expected waist shrinkage.... Will focus instead this winter on the 634-XHSib! Have fun with it @Oaktavia!

[Nik]

This is looking like a good autumn project
