Iron Heart IH 666S 21oz OD Jeans – A Journey of 184 Days!

I bought my Iron Heart IH 666S 21oz OD jeans at Burg und Schild in Berlin on October 14, 2024. Since then, I have worn them every single day – that's now 184 days! I haven't washed them a single time yet.

Everyday Use
As an office worker, I spend many hours sitting down, and I also bike to and from work daily, totaling 6 km so they have definitely seen the most wear in the seat area.Additionally, I live an active life with small children, so trips to the playground, bike rides in the forest and crawling around on wooden floors has given the jeans a good dose of additional wear.

The Result
The jeans have developed beautifully! And they have become more and more comfortable with each use. I can really feel the difference in fit and durabilit compared to cheaper jeans I have owned. It's clear that the material is of the highest quality!

First Wash
Now, my IH 666S are ready for their first wash! I can hardly wait to see how they will evolve even further. I will post some more pictures after wash!!

The journey with these jeans has only just begun, and I plan to keep them as my primary pair moving forward.

Ill let the pictures speak for themselves!

@Asger-Ebdrup Wow these are looking nice man! looking forward to seeing those post wash pics. I've been wearing mine a lot too but still aren't this faded yet. Excited to seeing mine continue to evolve for sure

[Asger Ebdrup]

Hang in there! People say these are a slow fader, but I’m quite surprised at the amount of fading I achieved in just six months with every day wear.

@Asger-Ebdrup great work with these! I think 21oz OD fades might just be my favourite of all, so good

[Asger Ebdrup]

@DeeDee85 thanks man! Definitely fun to stick to one pair of jeans for six months and see the results!

One year update!

In two days I will have owned these jeans for one year. Bought them in Berlin I October last year and wore them daily for seven months straight before the first wash.

I aired them out frequently and spot cleaned when needed.

Over the summer I’ve mostly been wearing shorts but now I’ve been back in them for a couple of months. So all in all I think these have seen around 9 months of every day wear.

I bike for at least half an hour every day and often more so the seat area gets beat up quite a lot.

Recently I did a sashiko repair along the edge of the right back pocket. It’s where I keep my phone most of the time. And combined with my biking habits a tear was beginning to form.

Hope you like my progress. And I can’t wait to see how they look same time next year!!

Looking forward to starting on these this week. Some great fades in the post(s) above.

@Asger-Ebdrup wow those look great there fading well. Can i ask you how those overdyed indigo start out. For instance are they anything like the superblack sbg's being super soft and pliable or are they stiffer like the 777 25oz raw jeans unwashed i want to purchase those depending on how they start off. Yours look like they have a lot of life in them even after all those wears.

@jrb1975

Thanks man!
They start out quite soft. I think the overdying process takes out the “new and stiff” feeling of the fabric.
I love IHs overdyed fabrics!
