IH-1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
@Mister_Brue I am super curious what they would look like after a wash. Is some of they light greying from dust/dirt via your jobsites?
-
@Oaktavia Oh, 100%! I’ve washed them now, so I will take some more snaps when I can after the weekend.
-
@Mister_Brue cool
-
@DeeDee85 I size most of my jeans pretty loose, especially if wearing them for work. I need the freedom of movement, and it is my preference anyway.
-
@Mister_Brue definitely understand that, there’s no way I could wear my 555’s for work. Just thought it worth pointing out that the only time I’d gone for a loose ish fit I had a similar issue. I’m getting to around 150-200 wears in a size 34 before getting close to crotch blowouts and 50-60 when I went with a 36.
-
@DeeDee85 I’m screwed then.
-
-
@Mister_Brue my lord they are glorious
-
@Mister_Brue Wow! These look great
Hard to fathom this is 58 days of wear. I doubt I could get there in 580 days. That's handcraft for you. (Currently I'm a student (again), so a whole lot of reading these days, which is easy on the denim).Really looking forward to seeing your progress in the upcoming Indigo Invitational! Did you already decide on a pair?
-
@Mister_Brue What sort of work do you do to get these fades in such a short amount of time?!
-
@Oaktavia @JunkPants Yes, they’ve pleasantly surprised me. I’m looking at the 822’s for IIV. Maybe the knees will last six months?
@m4xime I’m a stonemason.

The 822s are probably your best bet. Though I kind of doubt they'll last a full year. Someone should convince Haraki to make som triple knee jeans for you.
(And I think I have to reassess the pair you wore in the last II, I don't think any pair of jeans would have survived)
-
@JunkPants I think I’ll take a different approach to repairs next time around, as with the 1955’s above.
Triple knees though; there’s an idea!

@scooter those look marvelous Scott. It would be cool to see the back of them too!
Sorry, Stevie. I meant to share this sooner, but life got in the way...
