@wjw dont wait to get em repaired, get all the shrink out before you set the creases, crocking is real, patience…fades happen with time(wear), it’s a dice roll whether you get frisked goimg through security checkpoint wearing heavy denim,…

It’s almost a 90% certainty for me when I’m wearing IH flying domestically in the States. I’m used to it now. It’s always the button fly area too..

@RobeOfTheMagi amazing repairs! Really cool.

Quite some evolution for a little more than five weeks:

Pretty cool evo and character on this 9526PJ considering it’s technically a non-fade. I freakin’ love this thing. It goes from black to a super dark midnight blue at times. Thought this light was cool.

[dwils]

@Oaktavia ha thanks dude! Your latest pics of the 189 CPO have me lusting hard over that one …

@Oaktavia electric blue at its finest! Amazing fades man!

[Oaktavia]

@don_pipone right on thanks man I'm thrilled to give these a break

@Oaktavia those are excellent, dawg! i noticed you have that fly hole that i seem to get on all my pairs. something about the thick folds inside the fly at the bottom and the creasing in that area.

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich thanks man and yep def how the fabric folds a certain way there. Happened to both of these pairs nearly identically.

@Oaktavia Awesome as always and congratz finishing the 300/300 challenge. Found the first pic interesting, selvedge edge has faded to that perfect electric blue and the black weft is still darker providing nice contrast to it. Thanks for highlighting that part.

Ironically my most worn out item from Iron Heart.

I got it with my first ever order and have used and abused it tons since.

Thank you kindly dude. The 300/300 challenge is exhausting and long, but I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to dedicate everything to two pairs at the same time. And great description of what had happened to this denim.
