My April submission

[JunkPants]

My iPhone pics tend to exaggerate the fades on the SBG, but overcast today so not too far off.

Not really loving the phone fade, but haven't found any practical alternative to keeping the phone in the front pocket.

[Gammaman]

I put my phone in a jacket pocket or bag to try and avoid the phone fade.

Same mate , never carry anything in my pockets to avoid phone fades , Type lll is your answer inside pocket is perfect

[JunkPants]

I'll see if I can ween myself off using the front pocket, and instead go for a jacket pocket or bag, or even the back pocket when practical.

3rd submission. Mostly dry…mostly. 888-XHS

[jiminstitches]

@olblue These are looking great, that belt looks like its had some wear too!

[JunkPants]

@olblue Very nice!

[olblue]

@jiminstitches thanks buddy, only going 3 months on the belt (a gift from nicks boots) but the double stuffed leather is so buttery it attracts oils at a mad pace

[olblue]

@JunkPants thank ye

[JunkPants]

@olblue When you say mostly dry, did you give these an initial soak?

[jiminstitches]

@olblue Wow that's a great gift! How long you gonna wait for the first wash?

[olblue]

@JunkPants no initial soak but anything unsanforized I will. Definitely has seen some water from the elements (I spend a lot of time outdoors.) trying to keep dry until the smell

[olblue]

@jiminstitches trying for as long as possible. I know when summer hits they’re definitely getting a wash. No projected plans just keeping em dry till they stink

[JunkPants]

@olblue I see, that's great. Part of the fun here is seeing all the different approaches people take, to the wearing, the washing, the choice of denim etc.
The smell comes for us all in the end

[olblue]

Exactly my man. Me and @Oaktavia hung out recently and compared. Both wearing the XHS. So interesting to compare the two. Vastly different in hue even though 30 days apart. Just loving all the fades on here

[maxximum]

@olblue Yeah, I love to see how the different "lifestyle" of people impacts the look of the jeans. Like you can clearly see if someone is riding a bike to work or spends a lot of time on the knees etc....
All of them will turn out magnificent though. I think it does not really matter what you do with them as long as you wear them constantly.

[JunkPants]

@olblue Excellent picture of the two of you as well, there must have easily been 20lbs of Iron Heart in that photo!

Was it you that had the great Oni Chore Coat for the last Redline Rally? Voted for that one, not easy to get those fades with that denim.

[olblue]

@JunkPants appreciated mate, always love being in the full IH suit with the boys. Definitely got some weight on in that photo.
Appreciate the vote! That was me with the Oni. Absolutely love that thing. Was very lucky to creep into that top 10. Glad you were feeling it
It’s one special denim

[JunkPants]

@olblue Nice, top ten well deserved man!
(I dig the Oni denim as well, although quite different from most Iron Heart denim).
