@WhiskeySandwich Any stats on the 21 oz? Washes / wears / etc? I too have the unmodified type iii 21 oz. and I find myself getting impatient with its slow fading.

@Lowlander The best faded 555-XHSib here.

@Lowlander Those are perfect.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@indigostiff yeah man, 86 wears and 2 washes. They started super slow but they’re picking up pace. The light from the window makes them look way lighter than they are but my shirt there only has like 30 wears so pretty new and unfaded, but shows a pretty good difference in color

Iron Heart 666 XHS

Sorry for the low-quality pic. It’s been hand-washed once, around month 8 or 9. Now it’s in month 10, and I wear it every day as my motorcycle armor during the week for my commute

Happy with these fades, love this pair.

@Oaktavia absolute killer, love the evo on these

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago thanks buddy, they are my best looking fades and I just love this denim. So happy I have a pair.

@Oaktavia the best!! I know there are so many great denims…but in my opinion…XHSbb is the best of the best.

I do notice that it frays and holes quicker than any other denim I’ve had. Probably why it fades so fast and aggressively.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle my all time favorite is XHSib but definitely XHSbb is next in line.

IH-634SBR-14 - 14oz Broken Twill Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

7 or 8 months, unknown washes (guessing about 10)....

[Tago Mago]

@Giles when you start a new pair do you wear that pair all the time or do you rotate?

[Giles]

I like to see what our new denims do. So when I get a newpair, I am usually faithful to them until I get bored/a new denim comes out/they get to a stage of disrepair that I don't like....

Also, I don't like my jeans to look dirty, so the more they fade, the more I have to wash them, and I'm lazy......
