Post wash #5 at ~800 days of wear. Recently sent them off to get repaired by Rain at Indigoproof before my trip to Japan.
Quick cell pics are pretty yellow, I promise they're not that dirty…
My first IH bottoms and my favorite pants by far. I cant say enough good things about these. After two straight years in these I've been swapping my time with another pair but I plan to break 1000 days at least on these.
yowza! any filter on those photos? holy cow.

^no filters - just a really high res camera and lighting of an old house lol [emoji23]

I didnt think so but i wanted to ask because they are so damned impressive. well done.

Just yellow indoor lighting and my Nexus 6p. nothing crazy.

@FormulaPfaff - epic pair! This gives me (the rest of us) a goal/idea of what my 888-NT might look like in two years.
Also - what size are those? I bought a NWT size 34 pair from sales section here, but they looked like MC Hammer carrot pants on me, and I sold them. The leg profile of yours from the top view look great - not too wide in the thighs or too tapered.

@mpukas I apologize for the late response. I must have missed the notification. Mine are size 32. The UHR denim stretches past presoak size. If i didn't have a gut I could have gone down 1 or 2 more sizes as the high rise sits at natural waist vs hips like the other cuts.

Freshly repaired by Indigoproof and I promptly took them to Japan and Singapore for some denim adventures. Not too many Japan photos yet (hopefully my friends took some shots) but here's a few singapore shots.
Singapore humidity nearly killed me. Flip flops saved me.

I don't think I have ever added any shots of my 1955 UHR's. So here are a few from today.
-
I can confidently say that these are past 1000 days of wear, which was my goal. Here is my photo update.
-
The Iron Heart 1000 day threshold is a glorious achievement. Every pair should be so lucky. These are wonderful!

these are glorious!!! -
@FormulaPfaff ….. W.O.W. ??? ??? ???
They are simply wonderful. Thanks for sharing. New project now? One under way?
-
Thanks for the kind words! Not sure about the next project yet. My two NF 32oz pairs still have a lot of life left in them but adding a pristine pair of Iron Heart pants would be a great addition. I've toyed with the idea of the 25oz but still not sure. I can't imagine a more interesting fabric than the UHR.

It depends on your definition of interesting. I'm a fan of both the UHR and the 25oz. Very different denims though. The UHR is certainly fascinating in it's evolution, but the change that the XHS goes through is quite dramatic both in terms of fade patterns and the transition from body armour to cosiness. The lateral fading and subtle slubiness is the icing on the cake.

It's been a while friends. Here's a lazy update on my UHRs. @Appfaff mentioned them in another thread and it seemed like a good idea to show how incredibly this fabric ages. I'll be taking some proper shots ASAP. Until then, here's some quick phone shots of the age and fit.
Easily 1300 days of wear and pretty sizable holes now, although those have been advantageous for the summer temps in Texas. They definitely need a third trip to Indigoproof now that they are trying to turn themselves into jorts via the front pocket bag blowouts.
-
Now that UHR is coming back, I hope we see them in 1955. These are great shots. My 777UHR aren't nearly as far along. I hope to live that long.

Epic. The cat in the shoebox takes it up an extra level
