        Some of them look a bit "manipulated", but what do i know... Bummer they didn't vote your pair into the Top 10 James @Jcaz6996, they should have been up there.

          @Kasi from that batch, my favourites are 3 and 5.

          I can't even imagine how bad no.4 must've smelled after what I can only assume was 24/7/365 wear in the Thai heat and humidity! No shade on the dude, mad respect for the commitment but damnnnnnnnnn...

            Exactly. My point.

            The judges are a joke
            Weird competition

              At this point I’m rooting for the black pair.

                Never mind it is what it is…
                ODD top 10 looks like the judges have picked a selection of different styles of fades, vintage,high contrast etc ..
                I wouldn’t have picked half of them ..

                    @Daniel-San cheers pal… a little surprised I didn’t make it but most of all the actual selection some pairs just looked like you could pick them up off the shelf..

                      From what I’ve seen about Thai and Indonesian faders, it’s not uncommon for them to brush their denim for the fades to pop out more. Which is completely fine, but don’t think it should be allowed in a competition.

                      Wouldn’t be surprised if this were the case for some of the pairs in the top 10…

                          I think 🤔 Iron Heart should do their own competition screw them.

                            People who sandpaper their jeans are rewarded in this “competition.” It’s so obvious.

                                  Had a look at the top ten, and it’s fair to say my picks would have been quite different.
                                  That said, it’s so subjective, and I agree with the comment that it appears they have tried to represent a variety of different looks.

                                  Honestly surprised that @Jcaz6996 pair didn’t make the top 10. All shall be well when you win the Redline Rally though 🏆

                                    The Invitational is such a great idea in spirit but there are shenanigans that clearly go on it seems. I wonder how they could improve moving forward? Give prizes out by random draw focusing more on making it the 365 giving more people a chance to feel accomplished? Have a 'sandpaper' category??

                                    @Kasi I'm with you on an IH fade competition. Only IH jeans, judges are the IH crew UK and Japan. Post weekly pics here on the forum or something.

                                        @Salted-Racer I might be in the minority,but I always felt that the vibe of the Iron Heart Forum is totally non-competitive,and that everyone’s jeans fade differently. While I definitely enjoy observing the contest,and totally root for any Forum members competing,not sure the Forum is a place for a fading contest.

                                            @Jett129 I do totally agree with that stance. The competition side of Y3 and RR keeps me away from those. If something were to happen on the forum I might advocate for more of a 'challenge' than a 'competition'. I'll admit my IH rotation is pretty deep and I know I'd be cool with a fun and positive challenge to wear the same pair of jeans for a year with some encouragement from fellow participants. No judges, no prizes. Just a thought whether that's something people would even want is another thing of course.
