The Evolution of Iron Heart

[neph93]

Gave my IH-888-UHR their first wash yesterday. After 70 wear days spread over a year (although mostly this past autumn/winter) they were quite ripe.

They’re coming along nicely but two things that are pretty cool caught my attention. Firstly the roping which is pretty well developed for a relatively new pair. @AdamC gave them their second hem in July at FnC and he’s obviously done a grand job with the Union Special chainstitching.

The other thing was an irregularity in the weave above the knee on the inside of the thigh. A couple of weft threads aren’t bound with the warp and are lying on the surface of the jeans. I guess you’d call it a flaw, but I’m really enjoying the aesthetics of the imperfection. Because they are exposed they were indigo dyed and  the way the raised threads have been stripped of indigo that much quicker.

Took a load of pics of my oldest, most worn IH denim today… I need to sort through them but this one of a belt loop on my IH-666-XHS was good to go.

Lovely stuff, neph! Your XHS do evolve brilliantly and I always enjoy seeing them on ya. I hope that doesn't sound creepy?

[neph93]

Thank you gentlemen, I liked it myself.

Doesn’t sound weird at all @Dion

One more..

Damn, some people go crazy about TFH's Pioneer Denim but the real king of vertical fades is IH's XHS. Its 555 iteration can't arrive soon enough.

Wow @hajduk those look great. Those were my first pair of raw denim/ IH ever and I ruined them by washing them too much. "Just wash your damn jeans" they said.
