The Evolution of Iron Heart

I needed to do a quick pocket bag repair on my 720s (nothing major, just reinforcing the secondary stitching at the bottom of one of the back pockets) and noticed the contrast between the whipcord upper pocket lining (vertically oriented in the second pic) and the outer surface of the pants. Admittedly it’s quite subtle, but it made me happy and shows even non-fading fabrics give something back if you give them enough time.

@Oaktavia Looks amazing! How do they feel at this point compared to when they were new?

[Oaktavia]

@Northman thanks! They are much different than when they were new. Softer, more pliable, molded to my lower half.

@don_pipone wow, those fades look gorgeous.

[indigostiff]

@don_pipone Looking good - washes / soaks?

[don_pipone]

@Lowlander @indigostiff thank you guys!
Beside the initial wash for shrinkage I believe around 6? Maybe 7 washes. Could be more or less. I just washed them when they were obviously dirty or smelly.

@Oaktavia You sure know how to fade this denim.

[Oaktavia]

@twin thank you man, as do you! It is neat to see how different but also similar our XHSib fades are.
