IHXB01-25 - 25oz Beatle Buster

I will continue to wear them, and hope they look like Haddtoo 555's soon.

Clean enough…hand wash

^Cooooool

Well, it's not as if I dig dirt per se. It's the whole package, the fade, the state of destruction, the "Gesamtkunstwerk". Genuine, honest dirt on a hard-used jeans can and in your case does add to it.

Can't believe how good that repair turned out !

@Haddtoo 555 selfedge?

@KrisB
Yes SESF -
Impressive repair job indeed. As if there never was any damage.
My only gripe is you shadowed out the fades so much….. -
-
I am so unbelievably stoked to be getting another pair of these again! Thanks so much @Axel and @Giles for accommodating my special request, and helping me find that right size!
I sized down one size, so the break in on these will be agonizing. But I think over the long run my experience with these has shown that sizing down is a good idea. After a month I always wish that I would have sized down on my other 2 pairs and even my new UHRs.

I am very thrilled to be back into a pair of Iron Heart 25ozs again. I am most pleased with the fit of these. But, it was literally a real pain to get them buttoned up. I never thought I'd see a size 33 (actual 32) again in my adult life!
I enjoy this denim so very much! It might be my most favorite thing ever! Thanks everybody. xx

Thanks
I'm so happy you like 'em. It will be a long hard road until these are broken in like yours. @sabergirl -
I've been wearing these for about 2 weeks around the house and on a long trip to Colorado. I've finally gotten them to the point where they aren't painful to wear and I can easily get my hands into the pockets.
I'm so glad to be back into a pair of IH 25oz denim again! @Seul is right… These certainly are a privilege to wear.
I read something from @swiss-jeansfreak about not ever soaking or washing his pair, and after 800 days of wear his have held up quite fine, and I love how they have aged. So, I only spot soaked the crotch with hot water in a mister a few times. I absolutely love how velvety-soft these are, straight out of the blue bag! And, I can't wait to see how the whiskers in the top block and the combs develop from the snugness of sizing down.
Already the subtle fades of these make me love them even more each time I look at them. I feel so lucky to have gotten another pair of these again before they had gone extinct. Thanks again Stubborn Crew!
-
They are looking great already! I hope you can wear them for ever. I'm wearing mine a little bit oversized so less sweat and more comfi. Are your old IH jeans still alive?
-
@swiss-jeansfreak yes… They're all still alive because I keep gaining and losing weight. My most worn pair went to sabergirl. But, I will keep you in mind when I destroy a pair of I ever have the longevity to do so.

@FilthyBloodJunkie

I gave the cuffs on my babies a short hot soak. They were getting pretty dirty and I was worried about completely tramping though and splitting the crease on the bottom.
They got me an intrinsically sound explosion proof phone for work. The camera is beat, so no more nice pics.
