      I find overdyed denim an extra twist to make things interesting.. And everyone should have at least one in their wardrobe.. Just my opinion..

                I'm probably a bit late to the party with my IHD-01od but I love the thing and will definitely buy another OD piece in the future.

                  Haraki did the 634S-B a few years ago.  It was the first od thing he did, and guess what, I just did not get it - for me a pair of jeans had to be indigo, indigo or indigo.

                  Anyway, I started doing more and more od stuff, and now you would have to kill me to prise my IHD-01od off me…..

                    IMO od is a nice variety of denim and it enables me to wear black appearing jeans that still fade. And, as i think, in a more interesting way than black knights or the SBG. So, it has a permission of existance.

                      i love OD, i just loved it more when it wasn't as common as it is now.  the process of accomplishing the OD as well as the possible legendary "atari fades", it's really dope stuff.  i have a pair of the SEXIH01BK (Black Overdyed Version) & i had a pair of SEXIH07BK (Overdyed Black) & i can honestly say the evolution of the OD process is evident when you compare the jeans side by side.  i'm a nostalgic romantic, so i always like things that are limited & hard to come by.  once it becomes common, part of it's charm is out the window for me  😠

                      in essence, it's not OD, it's really me

                        i have a pair of the SEXIH01BK

                        want to see, when convenient…..
                        also interested to hear your thoughts on the evolution of the OD process, I have seen pics of old OD jeans
                        (not old as in worn, I mean old as in the first 634s-b) nothing in person yet
                        and they seem "less black" in pics if that makes sense
                        I think the first 634s-b were actually called super black, before what is now called super black was in existence

                            yeah, i remember seeing pictures of them being less black - i think low rider has a faded pair of SEXIH01 that are that way. They faded way more contrasty with a broader range of color than the current OD IH jeans.

                                I love my IHxB01xOD. I rotate between the OD's and IHxB01 every other week and it's great because the denim and fit feel very different to me between the two pairs - even though they are essentially the same.

                                  Just a thought to those who say od is too common nowadays (I also like exclusivity!): Have you ever met another person wearing anything by IH (no planned meet-ups)? I only did once. And then I'm happy and might talk to that person and share experience. The chances that I meet too many people in od and thus may loose my interest on it are 0%. Internet is not real life. Period.

                                  And I'd be happy if every new model or denim came out in od, as it increases the variety of models without much trouble. It's up to me to decide then wether to go black or blue.

                                    I was going to add my two cents, but Max Power is a wise, wise man.

                                        I like the overdye. Give me more. I was never a fan of light blue–in fact, when the jeans get to the light blue I cut them into shorts or just don't wear them--so anything slowing down the process of getting to light blue (such as not buying indigo jeans at all), or no blue, but something else--brown, green, ivory--is good. Over the years I've had a number of black jeans, only one of those old brands (Levi, LL Bean, Wranglet, Diamond, etc) faded from black, an old pair of Lee's (from the early 80s?) to a sort of muddy charcoal. Not sure the dyeing process on those, but they are cool, and I wear them sparingly now.

                                            Maybe OD is not the answer, but some other color fading (or not fading) to something that's not light blue, beyond what Levi's makes, would be nice.
