        That’s actually a decent amount of change from new in only 26 wears

              Yup: twice - because of hiking and riding the bike a lot in the warm spring sun.

                    Man! looking good. I'm only a week in and there are practically zero signs of fades lol. These and my Ducks are my current rotation unless i'm in the beater 142s. These 21's are my 'indoor pair' for now. lol but they still get plenty of wear.

                            @WhiskeySandwich how long have you had yours? Ive had mine 3 years worn on and off and they have faded a lot, I have washed them every few months in that time though. Will get some pics up next week

                              @AdamC oh not long at all. They're my latest pair but I'm surprised they seem to be slower than my 21ib, which I'd expected to be similar. I'm sure they'll catch up, I'm just looking for a little contrast before i start frequent washes. I think the black weft on those ib's just make initial fades more apparent. I'd love to see yours after a few years. I can already tell this denim is going to make for an awesome pair.

                                Nope - no tumble dryer. Just ‚natural air drying‘ only.

                                  @WhiskeySandwich Yeah our signature 21oz is deliberately slow fading, you have to work for it 😄

                                    Indeed. I „earned“ my fades with a lot of activities like hiking & cycling. After a day in the home office I’m out for 25 km bike tour only in order to develop my Jeans 😉

                                      Yeah mine went from damn they still look brand new to wait a second there’s some noticeable bright blues all at once.

                                      Bike commuting 5 days per week helps. And yeah the 21ib faded so much faster the the standard 21, no comparison for me. Love ‘‘em both.

                                        @drewfonse that seems to have been the case with every pair of IH I have. I usually ignore fades until one day they surprise me. It's just later than I thought it'd be, compare to past experience. It's not bothering me, especially since I've been outside a LOT lately and it's just been too hot for 21oz for too long. My 14's have been getting pretty abused lately on the other hand.

                                          Yup, my 14 oz have been getting a workout too. I have a super snoopy co worker who I always catch staring at my pants.

                                          I imagine the thought bubble as “wait those aren’t the same ones as yesterday”. Right you are, Sherlock! I rotate that shit!

                                            i asked during the preview for FW2024 instagram show when the hell they would restock these jeans since they are out of a ton of sizes. they said it would be a couple months at least. so like Aug-Sept 2024 in case you were wondering like i was.
