      Agree with you Doug.  There is just something about the look of them after many wears that does not impress me.  Regardless, I feel obligated to give it a shot at some point.

      Out with the new! In with the old!

        "overdye" seems to mean a lot of things
        there's indigo dipped like the forum tees or ihsh-43
        I believe the roy indigo ducks would be similar
        and then there's the black overdyed jeans like 634s-b, sexih07bk, etc
        I think the ihsh-22od flannels were done this way as well as the 27bk
        which is entirely different and happens with this:

        @jacoavlu:

        kiya posted a pic of the machine way back when on twitter
        http://twitpic.com/382gw6
        link doesn't seem to be working now, but there it is anyway

        I can't get the image to come up here at work but maybe someone can actually post the pic of the machine here

            What I know for sure and will defend till the end is IH should continuing doing the OD process.

            As Seul said, the standard indigo fades looks great, but I feel the OD is still fairly new when it comes to the outcome after a good amount of wear time. I'm pretty much curious on how they'll look as their color is quite deceiving.

            Black? Dark indigo? Grey? Let's find out.

            I'm as ugly as you

              I find overdyed denim an extra twist to make things interesting.. And everyone should have at least one in their wardrobe.. Just my opinion..

                        I'm probably a bit late to the party with my IHD-01od but I love the thing and will definitely buy another OD piece in the future.

                          Haraki did the 634S-B a few years ago.  It was the first od thing he did, and guess what, I just did not get it - for me a pair of jeans had to be indigo, indigo or indigo.

                          Anyway, I started doing more and more od stuff, and now you would have to kill me to prise my IHD-01od off me…..

                            IMO od is a nice variety of denim and it enables me to wear black appearing jeans that still fade. And, as i think, in a more interesting way than black knights or the SBG. So, it has a permission of existance.

                              i love OD, i just loved it more when it wasn't as common as it is now.  the process of accomplishing the OD as well as the possible legendary "atari fades", it's really dope stuff.  i have a pair of the SEXIH01BK (Black Overdyed Version) & i had a pair of SEXIH07BK (Overdyed Black) & i can honestly say the evolution of the OD process is evident when you compare the jeans side by side.  i'm a nostalgic romantic, so i always like things that are limited & hard to come by.  once it becomes common, part of it's charm is out the window for me  😠

                              in essence, it's not OD, it's really me

                                want to see, when convenient…..
                                also interested to hear your thoughts on the evolution of the OD process, I have seen pics of old OD jeans
                                (not old as in worn, I mean old as in the first 634s-b) nothing in person yet
                                and they seem "less black" in pics if that makes sense
                                I think the first 634s-b were actually called super black, before what is now called super black was in existence

                                    yeah, i remember seeing pictures of them being less black - i think low rider has a faded pair of SEXIH01 that are that way. They faded way more contrasty with a broader range of color than the current OD IH jeans.

                                        I love my IHxB01xOD. I rotate between the OD's and IHxB01 every other week and it's great because the denim and fit feel very different to me between the two pairs - even though they are essentially the same.

                                          Just a thought to those who say od is too common nowadays (I also like exclusivity!): Have you ever met another person wearing anything by IH (no planned meet-ups)? I only did once. And then I'm happy and might talk to that person and share experience. The chances that I meet too many people in od and thus may loose my interest on it are 0%. Internet is not real life. Period.

                                          And I'd be happy if every new model or denim came out in od, as it increases the variety of models without much trouble. It's up to me to decide then wether to go black or blue.
