The Evolution of Iron Heart

well, nicely faded….
don't get me wrong again...some of you dig this I know, but for me..that greyish dirt hue is a big turn-off. Either you postponed wash too long, and the dirt is so much embedded that it won't come off, or you washed too delicate.
When/if my jeans doesn't wash clean, they go to a pile which says "garage use only". There they have a lifespan of so many wears that when they get too dirty/oily/greasy so that they start to spread dirt on my hands or so, they're trashcanned...
Just my opinions and observations.

thx mate, and don't worry on "getting you wrong again"…to each his own I say.
I really like the outcome and since I gave them a "real" wash (with detergent!) then to me they are as clean as clean can be...even when they don't look like it...they definitely smell fresh again and that's all I care about!...
maybe the 2nd wash (after 5 more weeks!) will get them a bit "cleaner looking"...but if not, shit I say fekk it and keep on wearing! -

I love the grayish dirt hue and thanks for the perfect way to explain it Injun. I think Neitenhosen has a pair that has this affect if i remember correctly and those are just awesome.

I'm with you, IJ- I'm not a big fan of the permanently grimy look for jeans, but Finn wore them a lot at a construction site and he did give them a "real" wash, not one of those "dip in artisanal spring water and pat gently with an organic sponge" type washes some folks do.
If he's happy and they smell clean, then that's all that really matters. And they do actually look pretty good, too.:)

on the other hand…I've paid a lot of $$$ for this pair of jeans. and since I'm not a pimp or some kind of national player or some sort of other shit, that gets their money from all those hookers running around hustling...I definitely won't put this pair aside just cuz they still look dirty after a wash! that's just me though
-
Finn trust me ur pair is epic…I am def one of those guys that digs the dirt hue. Not on every pair but def a place in the rotation for urs 100%
