Your IH Denim Rotation
-
@dwils UHR purchaser here.
Since this will be my Y6 Indigo Invitational competition pair, I'll try them on real quick and then put them away, tags on. It's a struggle waiting almost a year to wear them in and stuff, but I can handle it.
-
@Oaktavia man that’s quite a line up to have waiting for you. I was hoping you’d respond
Super interesting stuff! -
-
Do....people have back ups of the same pair? Or is that kinda crazy given how long some of the jeans normally last due to rotation? Like i got the recent 888UHR but was wondering whether i should get the same pair again just in case? Or do i just have a undiagnosed mental illness?
-
@cyclops. I do have back ups but only from cuts or denim that may not comeback and that is like alot. For example I have 3 pairs of 463 cut and 2 pairs of the pronto 25oz double indigo.
-
@dwils I had a similar wait time with my current competition pair. I figure it won't be as bad.
-
I won’t bring up other brands names, but I used to have a bad habit of buying multiples of the same cut because I was worried they’d stop making it. At one point I had six new pairs sitting and three in rotation one just the one model.
I haven’t done that with Iron Heart. Part of it is that I like to rotate more now, so it’s hard for me to put that kind of concentrated wear on a single pair. But also, when I do commit like I did with my 25oz over the last few winters they’re so bulletproof it almost feels like you can’t wear them out.
I finally sent them in for repairs a couple of weeks ago, but that was after about three years of hard use.
But… I think I’m gonna get a back up when it drops again of the 666s 21 oz indigo. But that’s because I wear them for work and they’re gonna fade out really quick and I need a fresh pair.

I have a few pairs of 777, 21oz, XHS, 14oz black, slubby and duck, I was changing each week between them and got the black to start fading but the last 6 or so months have only worn XHS and they're starting to fade really fast now.
Problem is, now with my first pair of 888 xhsib I'm contemplating my life choices, I don't want to like them TOOOO much and neglect my 777s, but I do like the higher rise alot

Busters with hidden arcs
Here’s a better look at arcs
1955UHR
Its enough to make me fat again. -
I really like tonal pocket stitching on my 555 21oz jeans, so when I heard the cut was updating to gold pocket stitching in line with other cuts, I sourced a tonal pair to put away for future use. In reality I already have enough 555 21oz jeans in current rotation to last out my lifetime (and at some point I should probably bow to the age gods and covert to 634!), so I really didn’t need to snag a reserve pair - but FOMO is a killer! I’m also too big a wuss to ever consider snipping the arcs off my jeans
-
@IH-GARY a seam ripper will make removing the arcs real easy! I did that for another brand's arcs years ago. Took about 10 minutes max.
I believe in you if that's what you want to do!
