@Oaktavia

Steve still not giving in, by now 25oz jeans would gone softer this is a hardcore machine need breaking

[Jcaz6996]

@Kasi yes Mo mate ..
What’s your thoughts on when to wash hold off long as possible? or not bothered when it needs it just wash it .

[Kasi]

@Jcaz6996
James
Good question.

I have only soak it.. before wearing it
No wash for now.
Am gonna let it ride for now. Till summer see how its goes

On very hot day am gonna cold soak it so dry up quickly within hours.

So more indigo flakes off.

The heat of the sun will tan the colour differently.

Take it from there.

For those always complaining about the jeans, try this jacket then talk.

But in my case am double denim at work.

Go heavy or go home.

Warning buy at your own risk.
This is not for everyone.

Love the 19oz in jeans, but yeah I can imagine it’s pretty tough to wear in a jacket. Doesn’t seem to soften, stays rigid for dayz.

3 months no days missed..

Great James

[Kasi]

James now I ask question what your plans for washing this one

@Jcaz6996

[Jcaz6996]

@Kasi lol keep rocking it long as possible soon as I smells a tad funky I’ll wash it..

Got home from work took it off for 5 mins , my wife put it on and was like WTF how do you even wear that , solid cardboard

[Kasi]

My wife is the same

Don’t worry about it.

Lady are lady

[Jcaz6996]

@Daniel-San cheers mate today was the first day I’ve taken it off and looked at it and thought..it’s starting to look sick
So addictive love IH clothes but fading IH Denim 🫶

[Jcaz6996]

@Kasi just makes you realise how beastie this beauty is. I think you just get used to wearing it .
First experience wearing it in work today with the sun out only 14c and that was a bit of a struggle

[Kasi]

@Jcaz6996

Try sleeping in then talk

[Jcaz6996]

@Jcaz6996 damn son!!! Looking really nice indeed!! I think if I recall you’re a builder, correct? Have you been working in your jacket?

[Jcaz6996]

@Mizmazzle cheers…I’m a carpenter/joiner work on site erecting timber frame houses
Yes mate been wearing it every day since the start of the year .

[Mizmazzle]

@Jcaz6996 welp, that’s just some badassery developing right there dude. I’m a 5th grade teacher. Gonna have to start body slamming these kids to get that kind of fade action. Be good for my mental health too hahaha

[Oaktavia]

Hahaha love these past few banter posts. LOVE @Jcaz6996 progress on his jacket Holy feck. That looks amazing and will be nutso by the end of 12 months. Seriously catching up to mine. Just goes to show wearing daily vs 3-4 times a week makes a massive difference. Plus I ain't wearing mine if it's 80F or more outside no way pal.

ok FOMO got me--I totally caved and ordered this bad boy from Self Edge, should arrive Monday! I've scoured this thread and I think I know what I'm getting into. @Oaktavia, @Kasi , and @Jcaz6996 I've seen many of your posts, value your opinions, and find your fade pics inspirational. This jacket is going to be my Everest I think and I look forward to the challenge: ) If the sizing is what I think, I should be able to wear it essentially like a shirt but then still layer it with some of my more tight-fitted hoodies. I'm committed to giving it the wear it deserves.
