The Evolution of Iron Heart

[chrisjohnnick]

I view all this the same I do people doing "relic'd" guitars. Obviously the best way to get wear and age on a guitar is to just play it and use it for yearssssss. There are some really good guitar makers that do a great job and anyone would be hard pressed to tell if that guitar body is actually a 1959 stratocaster. However, I have see SO MANY nightmare homemade jobs where someone took a belt sander to a newer Fender and it looks so bad and obvious. Jeez. I can't stand it.

Same goes for jeans. Good news is you can just buy a pair of IH jeans new and wear the hell out of 'em for a year and have great results. Don't need to have bought a brand new guitar in 1960 and played the hell out of it for 60+ years to get a similar result!

Way to go @Jcaz6996

I can't for life of me remember the number of this shirt. Had it a long time. Been wearing it quite often now. Searching for it is no use, only the workshirt comes up.

Been washed about 20-30 times and ran through the dryer just as many.

Thanks pal @Daniel San i’ve Come to the conclusion just keep chipping away I’ve compared them too Y2 first & third place last year and they look way past not sure if that’s a good thing or not… only time will tell

@Filthy nice one bud I bet that UHF is as soft as it gets looks great

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

My softest most worn IH shirt is probably the UHF in the top. If you zoom in you can see how smooth it is versus the rougher texture on the bottom one. It might take another year of wear for me to get this shirt that soft

That's cool Mike I love your analysis when it comes to tedious observations of these fabrics we love.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Wrote 127 on the tag so I won't forget

[Oaktavia]

Smart idea maybe one I'll adopt…

Nice work on these @twin
The XHSib produces such nice contrast.

@Salted Racer    All it takes is wearing them a lot when outside hiking.

Thought this may be worthy to share here. 285 wear days on these 21OZ 888s, many washes. I love vintage fades and the 21OZ just doesn’t disappoint.

Great colour

Wow, that's incredible! Makes you wonder what was done in this to get this kind of evo. My guess would be slaying dragons.
