IH-777S-21od - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Overdyed Indigo
-
@BlueBlood @RoxRocks86 I need to give this some thought…thanks for all info!!
-
These are the ones I’ve been wearing. They change colour blacks blues browns greens and purples over time and in different lighting conditions. I’m not too keen on black jeans but these are different they are soft from the beginning so no painful break in process and I enjoy wearing them. Love the brass buttons and the blue fibres coming through on the back pockets.
-
@Gammaman your pair of faded OD’s look phenomenal :o
-
I just love how the od denim looks at the beginning and once it's faded. I had bought a decent amount of denim just because of the way it _might_look in six months to two years. But the od just looks good all the way through. I ought really to wear my pair.
-
@Gammaman those look fantastic. Now I know what I have to look forward to on mine. These are one of my favorite pairs of jeans and I agree that they just look great all the way through and seem to constantly be slightly evolving before my eyes every time I wear mine. Such life to this fabric.
-
Thanks. Yeah they change colour with the lighting and look good with black or brown boots. Enjoy them.
-
But beware when washing. On their first 30° wash, inside out and whipped out as soon as cycle ended they came out with fold crease. Right down left leg as if I was still at school and my mum had ironed s crease in.
How can I get rid of this or are they ruined?
-
That's a permanent fade now. You have some options besides leaving them like that. Could wash hot and they'll get more marbled and there'll be less contrast, and you could even bleach them to lighten them all over. Or go the other way and overdye them again. As they are I would not at all say they are ruined. They are totally unique, and look pretty cool to me. They're your pair so do what you want. I bleached my OD21oz to a light blue and am pleased with the results. Might overdye them someday black or some other colour just to see how they turn out.

But beware when washing.
Oof… happened to me with a pair of grey chinos. I agere with the above that bleaching, hot washing or wearing them like you hate them are all good options.
For future reference, soaking jeans with a shower head before washing is an excellent idea, also, taking out pre spin will not help if the machine is still on a high spin program during the wash (which I suspect is what happened here, as it did to me).
-
Any idea on possible timing for re-stock?
-
Thanks, Alex. I'll be happy to wait.
-
I need me a pair of these overdyed jeans!
-
Sunlight and shade shots but the camera does lie these jeans are better in person.
-
they look awesome
sure one of the best I’ve seen so far ! great work ! -
Thanks @Daniel-San I was trying to show the colour of these as it so difficult to catch. I tried to show the colour off by wearing a black jacket and black boots.
-
@Gammaman you’re one of my top faders! Always enjoy seeing your fades
-
Got inspired by some great faded OD’s so pulled these out of the stash. Putting these into rotation for the next month or so.
