      @Nkwkfld:

      It’s fun to wear one pair consistently to see the progress but it is a challenge. I have a lot of respect for the people who manage to go multiple years in a single pair.

      I feel the same way and am always impressed with how good people's jeans end up looking compared to mine, which fade very slowly because I have too many. I've been selling some off for that reason, just whittling down to the ones I really want to beat up.

      Right now I'm working on my 666-XHS and a pair of 666-SII I found in a bigger/better size for me in Reloved, which replaced an older pair I sold. Gonna try to focus real hard on  my UHR once the weather cools off a little.

      I have several other pairs of non IH jeans (Mr Freedom, Ooe, RMC) that aren't getting much wear at the moment, but I like em so I'm keepin' em.

        Definitely think being a part of indigo invitational Y2 helps stick to one pair as you want to see what 1 whole year of wearing a pair of IH jeans will look like and same again with Y3. Just got to look at Hall of Fades those 666XHS are incredible hoping mine turn out like that.
        I try my other pairs on from time to time check they still fit lol

          I mean, the real pro tip is to just sleep in your jeans like @Filthy . That's the most ingenious solution I've come across. You could always bring on a fading intern 😃

              Man I would totally do that but I run hot and basically boil if I wear anything while I sleep. I often question why the fuck I moved from a cold-ass place to an equally opposite hot-ass place ::)

                Oooh, good thread!

                I've got the following on steady rotation:

                • IH-888XHS

                • IH-888XHSbb

                • IH-888d

                • Samurai S520XX18oz-SB Arakage

                • Orslow slim fatigue pants

                And once a week, I hike in my Pronto x Iron Heart PIH15AN.

                The 888XHS and Samurai S520XX18oz get the most love, but they all have a great spot in the wardrobe.

                Blanket-line all the things!!!

                  I have several pairs on consistent rotation at this point—too many to really see results.

                  463 get the most, because the fit is golden.
                  777D
                  801 black
                  814
                  814blk
                  888SST
                  816 navy duck
                  PIHDCT

                  There’s some other pairs kicking around that see wear occasionally, and other brands almost never that I don’t part with. Needless to say, I have a big closet. Not a [mention]ROman [/mention] level closet…but still

                    @ROman doesn’t have a closet, it’s an archive.

                    I’m currently going to my summer weight 888 Eco selvedge.  When I find myself suffering from single pair fatigue it swap them out for my Pronto slubs, Beatle Busters, 777D and 777SBG. When the weather turns I’ll get back into my DR cargos.

                    I’m definitely getting the Anniversry jeans in September and am on the fence about some UHR.  In the past year I sold off some UHR, XHS and 18oz double indigo all with the intention of replacing with newer models.

                    My summer jeans typically get the most consistent wear because I usually  have fewer pairs of light weight jeans.  My TW666 were faded pretty good.  Sold them too.

                      @Matt How are the heat levels there and can you still wear the 25oz. and UHR’s?

                          Another interesting idea. I was trying to think how to reply to the original subject, about rotation. Now I'm at a loss for words.

                            @goosehd the heat is currently on par with the rest of the world.  That is to say hot and muggy.  It’s usually very dry here and pleasant in the shade and at night but we’re having a pretty active monsoon season so it’s much more humid than usual.  Fall, winter and spring are no problem at all for XHS and UHR.

                                I have mainly 4 pairs in rotation. 14,21,25 and UHR. During summer my main pair is the 14oz which I really love. In addition a couple of chinos for the office.
                                During the other three season I really rotate regularly.
                                I always love to have a nice crisp fresh unfaded pair available 🙂

                                    Try to keep it simple: 1 indigo, 1 black, and one non-denim pair.

                                    Once a pair gets super faded to the point it feels scruffy for work, I tend to move on and replace.

                                        @ROman When I think of denim collections, two people come to mind…you and Ruedi (aka Swiss Jeans Freak).  I’m sure that there are more out there, but you two make me see the love of denim and history side of the equation.

                                        I mean this as a sincere compliment!

                                          my 1st pr ih666xhs is my goto year round. pihxhs for dinners/dates/office days when i have to work with the executives.  ih555xhsbb’s as well and trying for them to become my “goto” pr. all are too big due to the weight i've lost.  my other pr’s get worn minimally.

                                          these days and working remote, i mainly wear basketball shorts, t’s, and flip flops.

                                            I’m in the Midwest US and it gets plenty sticky here. I actually prefer my 18oz vintage over my 14oz because I feel like they breath a little better despite being “heavier”. Love both but I wear the 18’s the most.
