@BD81:

Does the smell in these ever go away? I guessin that it is probably from the overdying process.

Some poor guy got roasted on here a while back for bringing up a smell of metal and pee connected to OD. I’ve had a load of OD and never noticed it.

What do you smell?

[BD81]

Its hard to describe… it may be indigo? Its not a bad smell, just odd maybe a bit like metal def not pee though lol

[BD81]

I wore them for 6 months before washing them so the smell obviously isn't that bad. I guess I was just wondering if i was the only one who noticed an odd scent. These are also the only IH denim i own maybe it is all the same

[neph93]

There are some heavy duty chemicals at play here. Sulphur dyed stuff stinks for a while. If it is dye related it will pass with time and washes.

[neph93]

I’ve only heard smell complaints with regards to OD, but as I said never had a problem. It smells different for sure, but not so it bothers me.

[BD81]

Yeah for sure not a big deal at all. I was just curious… In hindsight it was kind of a useless post.

Not at all. If this forum exists for anything it exists for discussing the minutiae of Iron Heart clothing, subjective or otherwise.

Good god, if useless posts weren't allowed, Seul and Megatron would never participate here…

They are coming along nicely. I might try to sell and size up one or two for a looser fit.

[mikebarhoot]

What size/length are they?

[BD81]

They are 33 x 34

Nice pair man! I love this denim and how slow it fades. I have been considering the 888 OD for some time now.

[A Former User]

No joke! I could’ve faded at least two normal pairs of IH into retirement as much as I’ve worn them. The overdye seems (at least from the threads that are fraying on my hems) to have penetrated deep into the yarn. It’s more like a hank-dyed pair in terms of how it has faded after all these years. Happy with the modest progress nevertheless

[BD81]

This is my only pair of IH denim so far but I'm very impressed with them. I hope mine look that cool in a few years.

Everyone should have a pair of this denim in their rotation, in whatever cut works best, in my opinion. Effortlessly stubborn and graceful
