          @Filthy This is really awesome information. I love seeing how you approach the care and fading your IH denim. The pics of your jeans are incredible too. What are the different denims represented?  I recognize some but not all. Thanks so much for your knowledge!

            The definitive @Filthy guide! Awesome. Might even need its own thread?

              You're welcome my friend.

              The denim in the first post is flagship 21 oz denim.

              2nd post is XHS (first two pics)

              The various varieties of XHS and there's a pair of 21 oz LHT in the front.

                @neph93 if you and Giles and Alex agree that this deserves it's own thread, I'd love that. I realize some of the points I make are slightly controversial. But I would be willing to make a new thread or you can spin this off into it's own thread if you want to…

                  That LHT always sticks out. Love the almost gray appearance when new. Lots of good info here!

                    I’ll have a look at it later this evening.

                      @Filthy this is some killer shit, man! I'm gonna use these tips, for sure.

                      Out of curiosity, when you said you sold all of your well-worn pairs, did you find that people were willing to pay a premium due to the results of your expert fading, or were you just selling them to make room for new jeans? Just curious because I know people love faded jeans, but I've always wondered if people actively seek those out, seeing that (imo) a lot of the fun is fading em yourself.

                      My only advice to the OP is just don't be like me and buy way too many pairs for you to ever possibly fade. I need to hire a fading intern.

                        I'd say there's a small premium there but still less than retail.

                          That’s some dedication Mike

                          I try and wear for as long as possible but honey combs always come last for me. Probably because I have to wash them so often due to work.

                            That's a pretty awesome end result if you get to enjoy the jeans and make a decent amount back!

                              When I buy a pair of Iron Heart I automatically deduct $250 mentally from the price. With a few exceptions I have been able to make that amount back and then some. Part of the reason why this forum is so awesome.

                                            One thing that a I remember form a while ago is taking a spray bottle of water and dampening behind the legs before your day. Apparently this helps? I’ve never tried it myself and don’t particularly have great combs in my denim evo. Maybe this will accelerate your combs
