    Is sleep fading a real thing?

    Probably not, but some of us are obsessed enough with our denim that we sleep in it. Moreso because we just love to wear it 24/7, not so much that we expect any real difference in fading. With that said, I do wear my overdyed UHFs to bed and they look more worn than they would had I left them on a hanger in my closet. So, no, but maybe, probably not but something may happen.

      I feel like, outside of the fading potential, sleeping in our denim speeds up how quickly it molds and shapes to our body....as well as softens the denim faster. I've also noticed a much more rapid amount of drool build up on my right sleeves.

          Is there a certain day of the week the forum calendar gets updated for restocks, launches, etc, or is it just random? Also, is it usually just projecting out 10 days give or take when it does update?

            @wjw it’s totally random. Restocks happen when they happen.

              @seawolf I knew that the restocking itself was "random", but I was curious if the frequency of the calendar updating was random as well

                    @wjw are you talking about the release schedule?

                      @seawolf on my phone when you hit the menu on the top left and then click calendar. Not sure if that is also called the release schedule.

                          Is there any possibility that there will be a re-run of ISH-170?

                              It feels like I've been searching for the perfect pair of jeans for decades (actually, I'm 53 so I probably have). I recently bought my first pair of IH: the 666 in 25oz size 33, and it was instant love. They fit and hang beautifully. Incredible craftsmanship etc. I think I'll wear this cut for life. But I also wanted a pair just a bit less heavy, so bought a pair of 666 in 21oz, overdyed. They are also absolutely gorgeous, but the fit is really quite different. They are the same size as my 25oz (33) but are slimmer throughout the leg. (BTW I hot soaked the 25oz but not these, as they already seemed quite a lot slimmer).

                              Long story short, I'm going to sell on the overdyed 666s (I wore them half a dozen times before deciding against them, so can't return), but still would like to get a pair in 21oz. So, if I buy the 666 21oz in the standard indigo (IH-666S-21) will the cut be more like my beloved 25oz, or slimmer like the overdyed?

                              If this is the wrong place for this question please let me know! Thanks everyone.

                              Seize that fish.

                                The cut is the same for all three. Have you been using the comparison tool on the product page to check pare the measurements? Personally, I size up one when going with OD. The OD process usually takes out all the shrinkage resulting in a full size difference.

                                But you should compare the measurements though.

                                Here’s the 25 vs OD and as you can see the measurements are quite different.

                                  Long story short… if you love your 25 oz you should write down all the measurements and use that as your template moving forward. Every different material within the same cut will have different measurements per size. That’s just the way small batch artisanal clothing manufacturing works.

                                    Can anyone identify the Iron Heart shirt on the top? My IHSH-13-BLU is on the bottom for comparison

                                    I recently won an eBay auction for what I thought was an Iron Heart IHSH-13-BLU 10 oz Chambray shirt.

                                    I have an IHSH-13-BLU that I bought directly from a retailer, so I have the exact model for comparison.

                                    However, when the one from eBay showed up, I noticed that it is a grey color with a fabric that feels slightly lighter than 10 oz. It also has bright yellow chain stitching.

                                    I can’t find a similar shirt anywhere on IH’s website or archives.

                                    Is it possible this is not authentic or is it just an older discontinued shirt/style?

                                    I’d really appreciate any insight.

                                      Hello everybody, so I took the plunge and purchased my first pair of Iron Hearts. I got the 777 in Indigo/Indigo (14oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo/Indigo). I went with the 14oz since i live in South Florida and this is my first pair of Selvedge denim.

                                      My question is, do i have to be concerned with the jeans bleeding or having any indigo transfer to things like my car cloth seats, shoes, etc? My understanding is i shouldn't wash them until i have a good 20 wears on them.

                                        @dirtyike I'd say there is always some, especially where things rub. I always get it on my boots, but usually not much elsewhere, but I'm also usually conscious to not be sliding out of my seat etc.

                                          @dirtyike though I also don't cuff my jeans which probably leads to more on my boots. And definitely a lot less indigo bleed than some bravestars I had. Those got indigo everywhere
