Freshly from another 90 degrees Celsius wash.

@Karol Damn nice job and the roping is stellar!!

[drewfonse]

@goosehd

Yeah the roping is great on his pair. I would say that of all of my IH pairs, the 21s is the one that started roping almost immediately. Not sure why.

Oh, and every time I wash them they get really tight and my heart sinks. Not sure why I can’t remember that they will relax after 2-3 wears haha. Anyway, awesome jeans, back up pair wrapped up in my closet, and I’ll probably jump in the 1955 version whenever that comes back.

@Mickey-GT

Perfect. The GOAT denim right there.

@goosehd ️

Some closeups…

[Karol]

And after all the ungodly abuse I expose them to they still go strong and no signs of blowup.

@Karol looking good bud! That patch looks ready to give up tho lol. Can I ask your wash/wear count? if you keep track?

My pair is still in it's fade infancy. Just starting to see a bit of shade peeking in a couple spots though. These are my favorite right now, I'm actually kinda babying these.

[Karol]

@WhiskeySandwich Yea, the patch has not taken all of the super hot washes very well. But this is exactly what I expected. At first i was using plenty of obenaufs to keep it going, but it was unwinnable war.
Regarding the washes, I don't have exact count but its almost 2 years now and I want to say that maybe every 2 months?
This is also the only IH pair that I'm really giving the business. They are 36 instead my usual 34 and I really wanted to shrink them as much as possible. Even after that they are a bit to big, so they ended up replacing my sweatpants. I have no mercy for them, but I baby all of my other IH stuff, really trying to delay the aging and prolong the wear time.

Obligatory resting in sun GOAT pic right now

@maxrez Thanks, I came here to ask the same question!

[derek111]

Not giving these enough love with my SLBod on the go right now. But still my all time favorite in terms of comfort. 5 cold washes over the past couple years. I have some 25oz in the 888 coming, which I am super excited for.
