The Evolution of Iron Heart

It's been more than 2 years since I bleached it… The bleaching DEFINITELY weakened the fabric; it was just a matter of time.

Repairs? Idk, I'll have to dwell on it for a while

Dayum! What a stellar pair they've become!

[UnTucked]

+1!!!

Wear them until they fall apart, then wear them once more, lol!

Those are rockin @jdl1279 .  Awesome work!…

@jdl1279 awesome sashiko and best train tracks/outseam I can recall in recent or distant memory. That's definitely a Heddles Fade Friday fade of the year candidate there.

Agreed with the above comments! Those are ART!

I also agree,those are the coolest faded jeans I’ve ever seen. Send pics to Heddels so we can all vote for you.

[jdl1279]

Thanks gents! I've honestly just wore them NFG. The thighs being oil stained were the reason I went sashiko on the repairs. They're still a work in progress as far as I'm concerned

Lovely. Is that some 21oz action?

[tvenuto]

21oz 1955 after 2 years of cold weather wear.

[neph93]

Great pair and nice pics. What kind of washing regime have they had?

[jdl1279]

526L is coming along nicely

@neph93 shoulda tagged me didn’t see your question.

I don’t track washes or wears or do anything special to preserve or facilitate fades. I think they’ve been washed 4 times total. Washed inside out cold, line dried right side out, then usually air tumble with no heat in drier.

In my experience, the stress of getting jeans right-side out while still wet can create undesirable (if usually temporary) fade patterns in the indigo. I let mine hang dry and then get them back right-side out. FWIW, YMMV, etc
