IH not harder wearing than others?

[Indigo Queen]

Thank you guys - this has been so far a very enlightening thread to read!!!
I know I don't qualify to comment because I don't wear IH ( not my fault) as a girl I've never since the age of 11 had a pair last more than 11 months.Its the left knee that goes fast but as I live a totally sedentary lifestyle I cannot explain this.
I would have thought 21oz denim would do it for most people, but reassuring to know that I'm not the only person who can't make jeans last.

Topic is probably long dead, just thought I would say that for about 2 years I lived with someone and all my clothes wore out faster than normal and it was a mystery to everybody. Turns out the washing machine was doing it, the very second I stopped using that machine and moved back home my clothes started lasting properly again.

So can I lock this stupid thread up or what?

My BBusters lasted less than 3 months , I just sold them .

Seriously, they are the best made jeans I have ever owned , just like my IH shirts etc. They are made like Thor's Hammer.

Um, what? That was a complete contradiction.

I was thinking the same thing.

I think he's saying he sold them after 3 months b/c they are well made and he'd prefer jeans that fade faster

Hmm, interesting way of phrasing that thought. Anyhow, this thread is stupid. That is all.

I had some pretty fab fades on my Busters after exactly three months… Had to sell 'm as well though, as I overlooked the sizing chart and should've sized up (at least) 1... 

Anyhow... You can pretty much throw anything at IH jeans... That's always the feeling I've had... We'll see how the 25 oz. 666s'es hold up after 4-5 months of continous wear... My guess: BRILLIANTLY...

Are "wicked cool fadez" still the trend? I want a jean that will last forever, fit spot-on and fade as slow as possible.

Seems to happen to you quite a bit Seul…

I've got it under control nowadays, Lando… 

Chris: I really couldn't care less about fades and all that... The reason I wear IH is because it is, imho, the best workgear out there... But to all haters I defiantly say: YES they DO fade and very nicely as well

Erm, sorry, I thought my post in the sales thread explained.

The jeans are awesome. Just that, after a lot of experimentation and expense, I have come to the conclusion that super-heavy jeans are not for me, whether IH, Sammies etc, etc.

As for "super sick fades" ha ha, I can't wear jeans for work and rotate so often my jeans are almost all almost deadstock. Fades ? I wish.
