The Evolution of Iron Heart

@ARNC I’m gonna second what @goosehd and @WhiskeySandwich said. Different strokes for different folks. I am very much in the same vein as you when it comes to fading, slow and steady. But everything is a valid contribution to this great community! Keep up the great work and don’t sell yourself short!

@ARNC yeah buddy!! You’re great at rocking your steez brother!! That’s my absolute favorite thing about IH. It has a way of bringing out each of our unique styles!! Also, for some reason, we all seem to have so much in common even apart from the IH gear we’re obsessed with.

@weftyarn holy Indigo fade heaven Batman!! Those are the stuff of dreams, Emil!
@Daniel-San the texture on those Prontos is out of this world!!
-
@Mizmazzle thanks. I love the variety of styles too - WAYWT would be so dull if we all did the same thing! I guess the same applies to evo. The results reflect our differences but there’s really no right or wrong way and the journey usually ends up being pretty interesting.

The last couple years my jeans goals have been rock one pair all school year. August - June. Last year it was 888 XHS and this year 555 XHSbb.
I’ve been really excited to compare the two pairs after a full school year each of exclusive wear. Next year my plan is to wear both of these pairs in tandem to push them into the 400+ wears apiece range.
I always get pocket bag tears…
XHSbb
261 wear days
3 washes
XHS
287 wear days last school year
4-5 washes
Side by side ala @WhiskeySandwich and @Oaktavia

@Mizmazzle Super cool and super nice photos and jeans. Makes me want to take similar ones from my pair this year and last year. Do you have a pair from three years ago too or did you start last year? I think I started focusing on one pair per school year three years ago, staring with 777XHSbb. Hopefully I can find some nice natural lighting outside after work later and I'll tag ya.

@Mizmazzle Sik Fadez BRUH! lol love it, they look magnificent. Crazy how much it looks like it's lightened all over with so few washes, and the contrast still poppin'.
@Oaktavia I'd like to see your recap too, man. between you guys and the others around here, I just may have to stop putting off my purchase of XHS by the time fall comes around. So many pairs, so few legs.

@Mizmazzle
great work
they both look fantastic!
brilliant pictures ! love em !! -
Thanks for the good feedback ya’ll! Really stoked to see what next year’s results look like!!
@Oaktavia three years back was a pair of 21oz OD. Those were probably worn about 70% of the time. Before I went Uber nerd and starting keeping wear days data. I’ll get a shot of all three soon!
-
@WhiskeySandwich dude!! Once I found XHS it was over for me with anything else. So damn good!!!
