The Evolution of Iron Heart

TWHR01.

So they're washed and ready to be shipped - they didn't really need a wash - but I thought it would be rude to send them for repairs unwashed. So this is 12 months of wear, I would reckon worn about 70% of the time. 1 soak and 4 washes:

Those look really nice. What strikes me are the cuff tears. I get those only in the back but not in the front. But all my jeans where I had that are only 11-12oz, maybe that plays a role.

Thanks, Giles. Love them*

Nope, I get cuff tears on my IH 634S and 1534. I manage to do that because I pound the pavement walking and walking, sometimes 15 miles per day (on the weekends).

shoque

Dchill

I'm def lookin' forward to seeing what they look like after the wash.

Beatle

yeah - me too..should be really interesting to see how well the overdye holds up at 40C and a spoon of soap*

Dchill

I was actually just about to ask you how you planned on washing them. A spoonful of soap huh? What kind?

Dragon

Nice evo pics Beatle!

I should start doing the same with mine.

Beats, is it just me or are your jeans fading from black to white? I thought they were supposed to fade from black to blue to white?

This weekend will be my first weekend home in over a month. With a little luck I will be able to post up pics of my SEXIH07 indigo's after 3-4 months of wear (and a lot of travel) and my IH messenger bag with 7 months of use (1 soapy soak)

Seul

Yep they fade to white apparently… Not stoked on that... Some areas are more blue, though... In the long run, it'll be blue, I guess/ hope...

Beatle

different light will bring out different shades of blue or grey …
and Seul - every denim that is rope dyed will fade to white - the original core color of the cotton threads.

You just actually made me very happy by pointing that out - cause the biggest question with overdyed is whether or not it "penetrates" the yarn all the way through to the actual core and thus won´t give u high contrast fades. I am delighted to know that this isn´t the case ***

Yes but I think Seul, like me, was disappointed it wouldn't fade to blue BEFORE it finally fades to white. Well, we'll see how it looks in a month and from then on forward.

Beatle

but it does go from black to blue to gray to white …high atari parts are already faded beyond the blue phase

Did you count the number of wears?
