          Ugh...I was ready to pass on this whole collab but the indigo CPO is calling me...Despite owning 4 IH CPOs, I don't have one in indigo. I have been waiting on the eventual restock of the 409-IB, but this is different enough to justify both (at least in my sick mind). The fabric on this one is what is tempting me the most. It looks like a more extreme version of the 18 oz vintage denim (which I absolutely love).

          Sorry, just thinking out loud here but I can't tell yet if I am trying to talk myself into or out of buying this.

            I'd love to get into my first iron heart CPO.. but with a baby on the way, looks like I'll have to miss this drop and settle for a 292 one day later

              @Mister_Brue I appreicate the feedback. I think you might’ve swayed me towards the OD CPO. I guess it’ll be a game time decision once I see it at the release party.

              @flannel-slut thanks for being the voice of reason. I’ll stick with the indigo 633 and OD CPO. I’ll hold off for something else down the road. I’m currently eyeing that IB CPO, but there’s no timeframe on when it’ll be returning.

                The OD is reactive dyed black. Glad that was pointed out on the FB group.

                  @CosmoSix5 AFAIK, this is “direct dyed”…which replaces the sulphur dye method (that isn’t eco friendly)…and is something different than the “reactive dye” method used to create colorfastness in some of IH offerings.

                    @Boit SE specifically calls it reactive dyed on their site. Garment Dyed Black (reactive dyed)

                      @CosmoSix5 Good observation. I recall seeing some conflicting statements on the SE pages in past releases. I wonder if this is true as IHUK talked previously about these being "direct dyed"...maybe @kiya or @ShopatIronHeart can verify this for us?

                        @Boit these are direct dyed - there has been some confusion over the new method used, and this is another thing that has fallen foul. We expect the OD to age, but slower than the sulphur dyed ones.

                          This has been discussed on these threads already, as pointed out

                          @SamD said in Self Edge x Iron Heart SEXIH25 Release Party - Los Angeles:

                          @Mizmazzle As @alex mentioned, we’re hoping to expand our buying guides and blog posts as we continue to develop the new site — and a deep dive into our overdyeing processes is already on the list!

                          To summarise for now, the switch to a direct dye wasn’t made to intentionally alter the appearance of the denim or how it fades, but rather as an eco-conscious move to reduce our use of more hazardous sulphur dyes. As far as we’re aware, the actual garment dyeing process is very similar, meaning it still removes all potential shrinkage.

                          Unfortunately, we haven’t been using the new technique long enough to see conclusive fade results, but Haraki-san has advised that the direct dye will be a little more colourfast. Here’s a comparison, with the 21oz direct overdyed denim at the top and the 14oz sulphur-dyed at the bottom:

                          IMG_0954.jpg

                          As you can see, the direct dye will definitely still fade (as it’s already showing variations in tone), but the main difference is how it affects the hardware. The sulphur dye oxidises and tarnishes the rivets and tack button, whereas with the direct dye, the metal remains shiny and new. Hope that's helpful!

                            @Alex Thanks for the clarification. That’s what I remember reading. The confusion was due to typo on the Self Edge site:

                              This wasn't a typo.. we were told by Iron Heart they were reactive dyed. We've now changed our product page specs as they've clarified they will fade over time.

                                  Yeah sorry for confusion. At some point we trialled a reactive OD process, used on some shirts IIRC, and when we were sampling these I thought the same process was used, things changed and somewhere in the ether the dots were not connected

                                    SE has the nomenclature as SEXIH25-CPOOD…

                                    I hear by declare this shirt is nicknamed the SEX-POOD!

                                      Should make a thread detailing the new OD method? so we know what we're getting into and what to generally expect.

                                          Wasn’t really interested in this as waiting for the ib restock but just looked at the OD and it looks awesome though the chest sizing looks off. I would have to jump from XL to XXXL to get same chest and then the shoulders and sleeve would be way out.
