thanks -
@Oaktavia im a teacher too…5th grade. What do you teach? While my end of summer anxiety is spiking big time right now, I am taking confort in the fact that I’ll soon be able to wear my denims on the regular!!
Last night went to a concert and wore my 14.75 Tellasons and my Wescos. Oh, it was a toasty 95 degrees haha. But I was fiending for some boots and denim time.
Love all this feedback here and pics!! My planned rotation for back to school looks like this
888 XHS: M/W/F
888D: T
888OD: ThOnce the cords drop…shit?? Idk haha

@Mizmazzle oh cool, it's always nice to hear about other teachers on here. I too look forward to wearing more denim, which does aid the end-of-summer blues. Although I don't really start feeling that way until August. I teach middle school art all three grades but the past few years just 6th and 8th which I prefer over 7th. It's super cool to see you have a similar idea when it comes to teacher jeans rotation!

Well, I got my first IH jeans for Christmas last year (888OD) and wore them pretty much everyday. Haha. My students are very much a part of my denim and boot obsession. I’m always dropping random denim knowledge on them because I think it’s hilarious to see their reactions…which include eye rolling, moans and groans, and looks of disgust when I tell them I haven’t washed my jeans in months. Haha. Torturing my student is a fav pastime of mine.
So since that first pair 7 months ago my collection of iron heart and others has grown considerably haha. This year I’ll be mixing it up quite a bit more!

@Oaktavia you must go back to school a bit later then me. Teacher work week starts 8/8 (ugh I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.) that’s rad you’re an art teacher! I work in a public school. Sometimes I look at my clothes and do a quick tally of what that days outfit cost and I feel a little guilty. Then I remember I EARNED every one of those dollars working with these maniacs!!

My current rotation:
634S 21oz
666SII
Imogene + Willie "Hank"
Imogene + Willie "Willie"Come fall I'll throw the 666XHS into the mix. Have lots of other pairs of denim that I'll wear as well, but 9/10 times it's going to be that 634S. I've lost about 15-20 lbs in the last couple of months, so I've had to tuck some old favorites away, and will likely be selling a few pairs.

We go back on 8/10
so 18 days still kind of sounds like a good amount.I do that too haha maniacs is an accurate term to describe public school students these days. I'm in an inner city school to- quite diverse and never a dull moment.

@chrisjohnnick what do you think about those Imogene and Willies? Looks like they have some cool stuff. I buy my lady a lot of their woman’s clothes. Been curious about some of their mens clothes too.

I'm in Nashville and have been wearing their stuff for years. I think they're mostly great, especially for a lighter weight for summer. They won't keep ya very warm in the cold, though. My favorite stuff of theirs was from about 2013-2015 or so, which most of my pairs are from. Basically anything with the orange and white selvedge stripes. I've probably had about 30-40 pairs of their pants at this point (local Buffalo Exchange always has them in for $30-$40 or so). I have lots of their other stuff, too, but most of it comes and goes as my tastes change.
Goes without saying that none of their stuff compares to IH, though.

Don’t really have a rotation. I just go through phases of preferring certain cuts. Then I have older pairs and I might feel for them one day and give them a couple of wears.
I’m mostly wearing 634’s (including the 822), at the moment, plus my 463’s. My IH-666L-19 are my random old pair of choice. This fall and winter my UHR 1955’s (thank you @ROman), and incoming IH-666-UHR’s will see a lot of wear.

Mostly Ooes and Roy since Penn. dew points think nothing of staying above 70 . Till, oh, October ::)

Currently rotating:
IH-888s-SLB (Slubby 888s) - 26 wear days, 1 wash
IH-888s-21 (21oz 888s) - 108 wear days, 1 wash
IH-888d (duck 888s) (casual office attire)
IH-731-KHA (12oz relaxed fit chinos) for 'smart casual', etc
UES Duck Shorts (when its too hot for trousers altogether)I put the 21s on again when the slubbs needed a wash (it's been hot lately and they were a bit sweaty) and it was like putting on pyjamas they have adapted to me so well. I was like "aaaah, hello old friend".

Just curious about how members with multiple pairs of jean rotate them in daily wear? Do you wear one pair for a few months at a time? A week? Rotate a pair every day?
I've got 3 pairs in my current rotation. Wearing 555-SBG's now. About to start wearing my XHS for the remainder of winter. I'm planning to go to my 555S-21od's once it starts to get a bit warmer out.
-
Current rotation, usually at least once every couple of weeks for each.
633s SBG 21oz
633s 21oz
633n 17oz
633od 18oz
Grease Point Work Jean 15ozI guess I really enjoy the 633 cut from Selfedge. The 18oz OD's need to be repaired, but will re-enter the rotation shortly. Otherwise, the SBG have been seen the most action as of late. I really need to get on the XHS train, but I keep missing out on the 633 size 34.

I've been on a chinos kick for the last couple years and I only wear black pants. Here's my current rotation:
-
3sixteen CH-22x Chinos
-
Iron Heart 721-BLK Chinos
-
Rogue Territory Officer Trouser Black Denim
-
Iron Heart 777S-142od

I have one pair of Blackhorse Lane Atelier jeans in rotation, not including my black Uniqlo for a few hours of corporate work a week. But this forum is tempting me!
Really digging your straight forward rotation! And the eve on your Bibs is just amazing….
