Its nice to have laundry that favors lazy washing habits!

@Mizmazzle said in The Evolution of Iron Heart:

@Daniel-San oh interesting. Didn’t realize the weight made a difference in the potential twist.

I don’t think it’s the weight so much as the tension in the weave, sanforization, and maybe other factors like pre-skewing.

Just gave the IHSH-IHG-BLK a wash before putting it away till the autumn. The slub really seems to have come alive!

Not sure if this is the best place, but the party shirt doesn’t seem to have its own thread.

@ARNC lovely

[Daniel San]

21 vs 22oz fantastic denim

21ib closing in on 100 wears, and 142, closing in on 2. Lol

[WhiskeySandwich]

Threw on the ol 18oz cuz I missed em.


I think I might need these in an 888 when they’re back

[WhiskeySandwich]

Another comparison: 18oz vintage with lots of wear, and the 142 with very not much

@WhiskeySandwich great comparisons i really dig that you’re doing this! Thanks

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Heavy_blue they just happen to be hanging next to each other and catch my eye lol. Figured I could show the differences in different lights. Each fabric is so unique. Some might think “jeans is jeans” but if you compare them they’re so different. Glad you dig!

[WhiskeySandwich]

The lighting, btw, is just normal house lighting, no natural light here, and no effects or flash on the photo. I think Iphone does weird things even in regular camera mode.
Another note about the shot of the back pockets. The 18oz is a 777, and the 14oz is a 888, they're both hanging from the beltloops at the same height. Notice how much lower the back pockets are on the 777 on the right. Add that the the fact that the 888 has about 2" more rise. Aside from the necessary added thigh room, this contributes to my reasons for favoring the 888.

@WhiskeySandwich interesting observation.

Are the lower pockets considered a feature of the the 777 @Alex ? Or is it just variation between production runs?

[Alex]

@T4920 i'm afraid the 777 cut was designed before i started at IH, so this is a @Giles question

[Giles]

When I came up with the idea for the 777 (well a forum member suggested the concept, and I ran with it), I provided key measurements to Haraki, but did not specify pocket placement.

Washed both the OD Lefty and 633s yesterday, love the way the texture slowly creeps through on these fabrics.

Jacket roughly 1 year of sporadic wear, jeans 6 weeks of daily wear.

Slept in these while the dried last night, a little mad... and perhaps something Filthy or @Oaktavia would approve of... but really happen with how it's made the creases settle in again

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 passive crease setting at its finest. Solid af fit my dude, love both those OD!!!

@T4920 very cool brother! Off-topic.. is that the flat head tee?

[ARNC]

@T4920 this got me wondering. If just one person does something, it’s odd. If everyone does it, it’s boring. There must be a sweet spot somewhere in between but I’m not sure where it lies.

Not slept in my jeans yet but it seems to be working for you!
