Been wearing these all day every day since the last submission, but no real observable difference. This is life for us slow faders 
If anything they've been soaking up some of the indigo from my 295-IB and are turning darker. Keep this up and I'll be back at square one once the competition is over 
First submission in the books. No days missed so far.
Love these SBGs.
(Do I miss the XHS? Maybe a little bit 
)
Not a whole lot of progress since last month (despite wearing these more than I anticipated). Still only on the one wash, considering doing another wash soon.
My goal for the Indigo Invitational was to reach at least 200 wears.
That has now been achieved, currently at 203 wears. Still at only one wash. I'll definitely be continuing to use these going forward, but will be wearing some other pairs as well. The longing for XHS is strong 
@Gammaman Entering with bibs is awesome.
@Jcaz6996 Nice, will be another amazing pair I'm sure.
@gouki74 Cool, hard to beat XHS. Not sure I could go a year without washing, but looking forward to following along. 
Decided to go with the SBGs in the end. This will be the year of black jeans.
Not looking to win, but would like to reach at least 200 wears.
Just submitted Raw Proof:
These needed another another wash. Currently at 295 wears and 3 washes. No change
(Right click for bigger size)
I thought they looked rather good hanging on the door though:
Time to put this to use.
Just put it on and, wow, these are good.
Fading is always super slow on shirts for me, but will definitely enjoy wearing this one 
I've been ruminating hard on which pair to go with A full year in the same pair is a long time.
I think I will go with these instead. Have been loving the 526L, dig how crisp, tight and hairy the 19oz lefty is. Need to get them hemmed though.
Combs are coming along ok, and some first small signs of fading at the back pockets.
The lighting makes it appear a bit more prominent than in real life I'd say.
Haven't missed a day so far. Great jeans.
Latest submission.
Wearing these a bit less at the moment. It's been fairly warm recently and I've been spending most of my time indoors (with no AC).
Wearing them today though, blessed with some cooling rain.
@LewisStonehouse Very nice! "Oops" indeed 
Enjoy it, nothing quite like new guitar day. Would love to see a few pics once it has arrived.
@ah_long Dang man, that looks amazing
@m4xime Looks spot on if you ask me.
(I also have my doubts that you're weighing in at 162 kgs! )
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Wow, very cool piece.
@iamjustdanny Glad to hear it!
Personally I have been using a few other pairs here and there. No way I was going a full year without XHS for instance 
This has made the whole thing quite effortless in my case. (I was never going to place high anyway, too slow of a fader for that to happen. Original goal was 200 days for the SBGs, but I'm well past 300 at this point).
I'll definitely be wearing some XHS, XHSib, XHSbb and some Samurai 25oz once the Invitational is over. The heavy stuff is just more fun for me I've realised.
@iamjustdanny Thank you for posting that, good to know!
Lord knows I have enough jeans to keep me busy until then.
Probably have a lifetime supply on hand tbh
@freepickin Looks great! XHS is amazing.
@iamjustdanny What have you heard a about the start date for Y5?
Personally I'm already eager to go again
In (some version of) XHS this time.
And great looking pair!
@Jcaz6996 Has kept rather quiet this Indigo Invitational. I fully expect him to come in and destroy everyone in a few weeks
