Thanks! I think so too. At around 160 wears right now.

@Lowlander - outstanding fades you’ve got going there!

[RoxRocks86]

Fade goals!!!! These your main pair @Lowlander or you rotate often?

[Lowlander]

Cheers, @hoppy_IPA! I do have to admit that the sunlight makes the fades look more dramatic than perhaps they really are.

I do like to rotate a bit @RoxRocks86, but during the winter these are my main pair. This is my second winter in them. I wear them about 2/3rds of the time I'd say.

I think I’m around 200 days in and noticed an odd wear that I really don’t know how it formed. Anyone else get wear like this or know the cause?

[Kasi]

Maybe cause it never been soak or wash…

I did the initial soak when I first got them and then did another soak after a fire extinguisher went off on them.  They are about ready for another wash/soak.

Yes indeed. I have had something like that develop on a few pairs.

Your hole is sat on a crease and I suspect it has worn on the crotch seam.

[Kasi]

Definitely a crease

I have one on mine pronto Jeans

on bottom side leg. Doesn’t bother me leave till it get worse

Very plausible.  Thanks @neph93.  Interestingly enough I swapped my desk to a standing one a couple months back.  Could had been interesting to see how the development changed with that modification.  Oh well.  I'll keep an eye on it so I don't get too much extra cooling.

@kiecker  I have had one of my pairs with a similar hole fixed, others not. You should get something done at some point as one day it will rip but that is a slow process. Like you say, keep an eye on it abs when the opportunity or need arises get it done.

As for fades and how they happen, I tend to think that jeans represent where you were and what you did at that time. It is a fun thought. Your next pair will likely be different because your habits and activities have changed.

I just phoenixed a pair of UHR that I lived in when I ripped my PCL. They bare fades from the brace I had to wear at the time. Kinda funny.
