IH-888S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans

[SKT]

@Oaktavia yes this makes sense and thanks for the thoughtful explanation. When I got into IH I spent a lot of time researching denim on the forum (like a lot of us) and have always remembered something Giles wrote in the 18oz Vintage thread…something along the lines of ‘I’d like to wear these until they disintegrate but I don’t have the patience’ I think we all have a limit or goal and then get excited to try something new. IH makes it easy too because they have so many interesting offerings. I do love to see the rare pair that has been completely thrashed and is almost beyond its wearability. That doesn’t happen very often though because all of Iron Heart’s denim is so well made.

Today makes 7 long months in these bad boys. Going to do their first wash tomorrow and hang them up for a year while I work on my XHS for IIY5. So sad I’m hanging these up.

@worn2fade looking forward to seeing post wash pics.

165 wears and in the washing machine at the mo'. This will be their third wash, second in the machine. After doing some yard work today, they got super dirty. I tried brushing them, but they still looked brown and green from the grass and dirt. So washing was a no brainer. Last one was in June.

Inside out heavyweight awesomeness. Drying in the Appalachian evening sun. I love clean jeans.

@Oaktavia I’ll definitely be getting a pair of these when my size becomes available again. Very nice mate
Edit: just seen that they only come in Indigo. Might have to be my first pair of indigo jeans in probably 10 or so years then.

@Oaktavia As much as I love you IB, I believe this one may be even better... The front is really a masterpiece.

How much more do you plan to wear it?
