Great news and thanks for keeping us updared on them

I was doing some spring cleaning and thought I had to get a few more shots. More here.

Wow what a powerful aging progress seen here, congrats!!!!

[reallypeacedoff]

I finally got home and picked up my Indigo Invitational Y4 pair.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Is there an unwashed version available as well?

You got me on Insta @youngofthesoonest, just posted a day 5 😎

Wasn't sure how these would fade as nothing to base it off, however, the seat and knees are starting to show some very slight fading already.

The fit gets better each day.

[youngofthesoonest]

oh nice. I just saw it. yeah it's now getting to phase where the fit is more natural.

I got a pair of the SEXI26-ST as well. I'm really digging them but I feel the thighs might be a bit tight for a Straight Tapered.

Hoping wearing them will help soften up the denim and stretch them just a tiny bit to get them where I'd feel they are 100% perfect fit.

They will stretch out with some wear. I found the thighs, particularly the knees, a little tight but have since stretched out.

Great and fast honey combs setting

Day 31/366 EOM update for the Imps...Seems like this denim is somewhat fast fading.

looks like fast faders...  especially knees are remarkable ...

I bought both pairs of Imperial 26 from Self Edge because I wasn't sure which direction I wanted to take for the Indigo Invitational. I settled with the ST. So, I decided to repurpose the 47 pair into shorts. I went with a 20" outseam and stitched up the seams myself.

I did this previously with a pair of Imperials from the beginning, and was pretty happy with the results. I wear jeans more often than not so the process is slow with shorts but gets me psyched to wear shorts again, as opposed to wearing pre-distressed pairs. Unfortunately, I grew out of the ones below...

Day 152/366 EOM5 update for SEXI26-ST

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Wow fast aging progress on your Imperials!

And I love the great faded shorts!!!

[youngofthesoonest]

Just washed these imperials again after 2 months ish of wear. I’m really enjoying how this fabric ages and feels. 

[reallypeacedoff]

47s @youngofthesoonest?

[youngofthesoonest]

yeah these are the 47s! 

[Cold Summer]

Looking good, I like that 47 fit a lot.

[reallypeacedoff]

12 washes in @ 8 months...

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Nice skyblue faded!!!

[reallypeacedoff]
