The Evolution of Iron Heart

[Giles]

Gratuitous Cross Post…....

I can't remember exactly how long I have had this IHB-01.  It was from the first run of natural we ever did, so I am guessing 17 or so years, possibly even longer.  It gets worn most days. The buckle attachment was beginning to get a tad shady (which after only 6,000 or so days wear is pretty pitiful  ), so I asked Haraki for a new piece...

The pimpage was done at Iron Heart camp in Japan about 6 years ago...

Looking pretty ropey…

Old and new….

A quick dose of olive oil (because that is what I had to hand), and we're ready for another 17 years…..

Wow @Giles that is a hell of a belt you have there…really digging the pimpage.

[Oaktavia]

@twin holy moly you're even developing holes in your elbows. That is some serious wear, is it due from lack of washing or just thrashing it over the years?

[dinobarnesberlin]

Most guys eventually get " crotch blow-out"
@twin blows elbows out ???

[twin]

@Oaktavia  this is from thrashing it over the years. I would say it is about 10 years old now.

[twin]

@dinobarnesberlin  what can I say.

[Crease]

Badass fit on that jacket too @twin !!

Yay! First post on the new forum.

As promised, here’s some more pics of the Black Wabash that I took yesterday. Paired with my 888 UHR.

I feel the pics don’t do the fabrics evo real justice but I still hope they give an idea of how this fabric fades.

@weftyarn the cuff fraying is awesome, I like the depth of field that photo shows.

Hell yeah bro that triple combo is texture rich and colors just make me damn happy

[joesaintjohn]

That combo is so good.

[weftyarn]

Reached 300 wear days on these 21OZ 888s

@weftyarn Man I love well worn 21’s. Yours look amazing!

@Daniel-San Love that combo!

[weftyarn]

Thanks mate @SKT

They literally keep on getting better with every day of wear

[Daniel San]

Just awesome

Belt buckle patina is coming along. I can’t believe I’m nearing a year of wearing these 777N regularly either. They are loath to dispense with that natural indigo for damn sure.

[SKT]

Man I love that buckle. Looks like you’re giving those jeans hell too and they look great

@mclaincaisey
