IHXB01 - Beatle Buster 21oz Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

[User]

Too late on the hem.  SE is quick when you place orders.  ???

I trust Andrew at SENYC, it was his recommendation whilst I was there and was able to try on the IHXB01.

So, there are not a lot of evo pics currently of the IHXB01.  But I'm assuming I can expect the same awesome fading properties as any other IH 21oz denim?

[Beatle]

lol, yes you can

I'm at work too and my buddy is giving me some flac about ordering the IHXB01.  He's trying to tell me they won't fade or turn into the jean I want and that I'm taking a risk because there is no solid evolution pictures of them.

When you drop a good amount of them and someone starts doubting it, it makes you a bit worried.

Tell him he know's the square root of diddleysquat…......

I think they fade beautifully..

[Seul]

I think they'll fade nicely…

how much pain would i be in for if I were to size down one on these?

[Beatle]

no more than you can handle.

They are made out of the same denim that Haraki has been using for all the 21oz selvedge jeans (634S, BB, 301S) since he started making jeans.  The only change since he started, was that 5 years ago he and I decided to change the weft from pure white to a light beige…...........

[elclintor]

so a 2" stretch is not out of the question?

Why would you?.. Just get 301s then…

[elclintor]

oops, or 2.5" rather.

He's ordered several different high end Japanese denim before but doesn't have the patience to wear them for a long time to achieve good progress.

Maybe just a hater?

I'm just glad to be apart of the IH family, you guys obviously know your stuff more than my friend haha

I've pretty much tried every Japanese denim - Cane, FH, Denime, 45rpm, Samurai - u name it.

Iron Heart denim is by far the most balanced and sophisticated of them all - and I know I will end up getting good fades cause that's all I wear…

I was at the crossroads between FH and IH.  Honestly what swayed my choice is the fact that this community exists and there is so much positive feedback around the brand.

Also, evilcrayon's faded 301s helped too haha.
