IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I wash them when they are dirty or smell very bad.
Yep - and I've never had any of my jeans smell bad… I just wash 'm cause they do get dirty after a couple of months... And because I feel like I "should" do it... That's why I'm not doing it for a year... I will need a objective jury to come sniff my jeans in June 2014 to see if I'm right about them not smelling bad...

Haven't washed my 634s yet. They are so thick an pliant that getting creases to set in sharply is a challenge. So I will wait a little on them unless they get funky or dirty.

And this is only for jeans!!!!! You wanna wear your shirts for months on end that's your business, Just don't stand next to me:) I can't go much longer than a couple weeks without washing a shirt. I wore my wabash western for about two weeks, had to wash it Sunday after it had umpteen beers spilled on it Saturday night!!

Kiya is also a big advocate for unsanforized denim which counts among the minority for the IH line. Basically he thinks that it's less necessary to wait to wash unsanforized denim than sanforized for dramatic high contrast fades because the material conforms to your body and stays conformed.
For heavy denim that's supposed to be durable, I totally agree with Haraki's approach though.

….but please don´t see fades as a competition or something like that.....
Please don't tell that Gavin…you will crush his livework

But he is doing an official competition, that is something different for me. If you enter the competition, you wanna see some results and sique fadez
And that is cool, I like aged denim, boots, leather or whatever, but I cant say that your or my fades look better than others. I really enjoy the HWDC thread! -
I've never done a competition (and I'll end my participation in our little fun divergence from topic here), but my approach has long been: Washing jeans is kind of a hassle, and I like contrasted fades. But I don't dread washing jeans enough, or value contrasted fades enough, to be stinky. That's just too high a cost for cosmetics IMO.

When I bought my RRLs (first ever raw denim) and the sales assistant told me not to wash them I became paranoid about getting them dirty and having to wash them. I didn't want to 'ruin' my £200+ jeans.
A year later I realised I hadn't worn them nearly enough and when I did I often couldn't relax. Ridiculous!
Now I've moved on to IH I am going to wear them whenever and wherever I want and if they get dirty or start to whiff a bit I'll wash them.
They're just jeans after all. Very nice jeans, yes, but there is more to life.

After picking up a similar cut to 634 in another brands jean I must say I am an Iron Heart guy Through and True… I hope one day these are available in a 37" length because there is no cut that fits me like IH and whose denim feels so great. I swear my SExIH13 are like wearing sweatpants.

Finally, after lurking for a while here last week, i pulled the trigger and got myself a 634S. ::)
The store had discount, so i managed to get them for around $260usd, had the choice of choosing this or the BB IHB01, but i went with the original 634s since i wanted something with a more relaxed cut.
Cant wait to break em

Suro you may be in the same boat as me. I just got these 33's and while the waist is good, Im feeling like the top block is too baggy. Notice the butt looks like I have a tail under it. Will a 32 offer me a slimmer upper block while stretching to a 33 waist, and eliminate the look of a tail?????? Or am i better off in another cut?
Suro, if you get rid of those 32's let me know.

What G. said.
