@Fadez can't wait to see how this turns out.

Thanks for all the words of encouragement everyone!!! [mention]sabergirl [/mention] [mention]J-IV [/mention] [mention]Appfaff [/mention] [mention]louisbosco [/mention]

First hike went down this Morning. 5.5 miles at Blue Spruce Park. I took some quick fit pics when it was 7:15 am and still 32 / 0 degrees. I’m hoping to get some better ones tomorrow in the sun.

These are definitely the tightest jeans I have, but all the more reason to give it my all in working out. The waist has definitely given way a bit which is nice. The tightest part for me is definitely the thighs, which I’ve never had an issue with before. Still have enough range of motion to hike up a hill. Not enough to go knees to chest. Looking forward to the denim doing its thing and conforming to my body more as I wear them.

I gotta say though the feel is rough and textured, but in the best way possible. It’s pretty much the opposite of the uniform of the flagship 21. The weight is perfect. I haven’t worn jeans less than 21oz since 2011. So it’s been a major change for me. Looking forward to my next hike tomorrow!

It's already been 2 years since my last pair of new Iron Heart jeans…

Surely by the time these drop I'll deserve a new pair!

[mention]UnTucked [/mention] You are in for a treat! I have a feeling that the slub and the party jacket will look amazing together

This stuff looks amazing, well done IH.

@Fadez they sure fit you great. Did you soak them or anything. The texture on the is apparent even in low light conditions. What's the weight like?

[Fadez]

[mention]Filthy [/mention] Nothing done except just wearing them. The texture is absolutely insane. The weight is also just right for what they are. Since they’re a bit rough they feel tough like 25oz but they’re 16 so they wear so easy and breathe better. I’m looking forward to taking some better pics tomorrow in the sun so everyone can see the texture a but more. It’s so rad

If I may say so, they remind me a lot the blade model from Samurai…

But better

Nice work and I dig your ambition, @Fadez . Eagerly looking forward to your photo updates. It is so strange seeing textured slub on a pair of IH. Wild stuff, especially considering your comment about the midweight feeling like a heavyweight in some aspects.

I’m so Jealous!  They’re even my size.    If I were in Utah right now those would have looked great at Zion, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon.  Damn kids.

Have fun @Fadez  Make sure you get some photos of you doing some dangerous, irresponsible shit and think of me fondly.

I have a feeling this is going to be my favorite thread this summer…

[Fadez]

My best attempts at Macro Photography [mention]louisbosco [/mention]  I am trying to show you the hairiness and slub as best as I can here

Outside vs inside in the shade.

The fits

[mention]Oaktavia [/mention] You’re totally right about the denim being so opposite of what Iron Heart is known for, but if you get to try them on, you’ll know just how Iron they really are!

[mention]Matt [/mention] I’m not too sure I’ll be doing anything that dangerous or irresponsible. But if the situation appears before me, I’ll be sure to tag you in the photo! This pair is meant to be worn hard and out in nature. I’m looking to compete in the indigo invitational this year which should be October-ish? We might be able to work out a traveling pants situation for you!

[mention]J-IV [/mention] I hope so! I’m gonna try to keep the photo documenting up and running. Let me know if you want me to capture anything in particular

[louisbosco]

@Fadez photos look great, love them

[Fadez]

Thanks [mention]louisbosco [/mention] ! Appreciate you giving me the challenge

[zhivago]

Great photos @Fadez, really capturing that texture, which isn't always that easy although this denim appears to have heaps of it! Looks like they are already really starting to be your jeans, which is pretty quick for IH. Keep the good stuff coming!!
