The Evolution of Iron Heart

My 666S-21 needed another wash as denim smelling of (roast) duck was just too confusing. I’m a self-confessed slow fader so these are not spectacular but they might give others hope that good things will come with time.

@ARNC those look great man! Are you planning to repair the cuffs? I have a pair that’s starting to fray there too.

[ARNC]

@ZackB thanks. I don’t think the cuffs are critical yet. There’s a potential crotch issue that might need attention first – I’ll probably take advice from Josh as to whether to send them in now or wait till the next wash.

@ARNC I think they look awesome too…love how the OG 21 fades. Well done

[ARNC]

@SKT thanks! My post was more intended as encouragement for guys who are a bit rubbish at fading, but I’ll shamelessly accept any positive comments that come my way

[Oaktavia]

@ARNC they look fantastic man, love these fades.

[ARNC]

@Oaktavia thanks Stevie! It means a lot coming from you.

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC what I like about your pair, and every other pair for that matter, is that they represent you. Fading is not a competition (to me at least). Every pair is unique and that makes it special. My pair of 666-21 look different from yours, and someone else's look different again.

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago that’s definitely true. Some fades reflect habits and others specific events. The mark on the right knee is from when I went arse over tit on a slippery slate pathway.

@ARNC wears approx?

[ARNC]

@indigostiff I don’t track wears/washes so no definite answer. I also rotate bottoms according to my mood and I don’t get to wear IH stuff at work so it’s hard to work backwards. I’ve had them for a few years and they’ve been washed as needed without any particular schedule.

Only just stumbled upon this incredible thread. What a fantastic resource. Thank you to everyone sharing their pieces on here! Only currently own a UHF so far from IH so this is a good source of inspiration for the journey!
