I missed out on my "annual photo op" last year as my 101J was being repaired at IHUK at the time.
Some details on my 555XHSib at the 500 wears mark:
Does what I was wearing in October 2022, according to Google Streetview, count?
I haven't looked or posted here on WAYWT in ages--sorry. But feeling bored, I was playing with Google Streetview, and remembered seeing one of their cars when I was biking around with my kid some time ago. So I found myself on Streetview, and just had to share with the Forum.
Pretty sure I'm wearing the lefty trucker, IH-825-IND, and Custom Wescos.
Fresh after a wash:
Great fit @Rangadello!
Here are some pics of my pair after 500 wears @twin
Here is my pair, fresh after a wash. I'm at 417 wears. For the first time, they need some repair/reinforcement in the crotch--one area there is wearing pretty thin.
@WhiskeySandwich @Oaktavia Some pics of my IHSH-08, which must be over ten years old...
It's a non-fade 16 oz black denim, though there is some light marbling on the back:
Four years into the journey...
The fades on this fabric are very subtle and hard to capture on photo:
Some fraying on the hems of the sleeves:
Also the lining is wearing thin in some places like the collar:
Wow! You always have some of the best fades around, @twin !
@Denimmacdaily congrats on a great first purchuse! Looks great! These were my first IH pair too, and like yours they are the comfiest and best fitting pair of jeans I've ever owned.
@bromp no I didn't soak these. They're one-washed I think so shrinkage should be negligible.
@bromp congrats, great jeans, great fit. Wearing my pair too right now.
@DeeDee85 wow, that's a lot of progress in only 25-30 wears!
@endo wow, stunning pics! Looks like they came from a travel brochure for Mordor!
@stichdown-shell thank you, this is really helpful!
@Vintagedenim yes, an initial soak and 4 or 5 machine washes, usually after every 100-120 wears or so.
@twin Thanks! That means a lot, coming from the grandmaster of fades himself!
