The Evolution of Iron Heart

[Jett129]

@Oaktavia Your photography reminded me of a guy who was pretty active on the Forum about 10 years ago. His username was nizzel55 and I think he may have won an early fading contest. Had to screenshot this old post.

@Oaktavia that's a truly great evo bud, keep it going

@Jcaz6996 150 wears just feels different though. They're like a damned child of mine at this point! Let's see how she returns them - I'm expecting spectacular.

[Jcaz6996]

@indigostiff Im sure they will be she is definitely the best at what she does …
I like the look of rough and tough look of denim with the odd battle scars , holes here and there ..

I’m just going to wear the crap out of mine got a big hole under the left rear pocket now over 1” in length..

[Oaktavia]

@Jett129 wow his fades are sick!!! And I can see why his photos came to mind. I remember seeing them years ago when I first joined. Thanks for reminding me, I'm going to check out more.

Here are some pretty special ones for me. I bought these Iron Heart 633s-142 from Self Edge SF a few years back after hearing about Iron Heart on Dean Del Rey's Let There Be Talk in his interview with Giles. Wore these just about everyday for 3-4 years. Tons of washes, 2 repairs, speckled with some paint. They were definitely a size small, but I stretched the heck out of them. Now I wear the 888 which is quite a bit better for my body shape, but will always love these baddies.

That has got to be one of the best if not the best 14oz IH denim fades I've seen so far...

[TENDREL]

@cityofdelusion Oh heck ya, thanks! Love these things, they feel like some sort of trophy

[Oaktavia]

@TENDREL wow I wasn't interested in 14oz bottoms until now. Holy shit! Yours look amazing and I love the blue arcs.

[october rust]

Yup, those are HOF worthy. So awesome.

[popvulture]

Damn, for real! Holy shit.

[popvulture]

Also: every time I see tonal arcs, I’m like WHY NOT MORE TONAL ARCS?

[A Former User]

@TENDREL damn dude those are epic

[FlavourFade]

@TENDREL gotta say these must be in my top ten of all faded jeans I have ever seen

[TENDREL]

Woah! Had no idea these were such top faders! Thanks for all of the great feedback.

It's now been 6 months since the release of the overdyed UHFs. Does anyone have any fade pics?

@DrPat

@Oaktavia posted fade photos of his phenomenal OD UHF in the relevant product thread:

@jerkules had the same thought but you were quicker on the draw

[Oaktavia]

@jerkules thanks for pointing him in the right direction!
