You inpired me to start wearing mine again.

Help yourself to a complimentary water while you're at it.

There's no filter on this, believe it or not. Cloudy overcast lighting while it is threatening rain.

Really pretty and unique blue. Those 21L's fade very different.

Man, the electric blue fading on those is insane. Hope that Haraki re-releases this denim at some point.

I just gave my other Lefties a machine wash.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I gave them a 20 minute trip through the dryer (after I dried them on some fans) and they are crazy soft and comfortable. They have to be the softest jeans ever!!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

@Anesthetist I took these for you because you were saying you wanted to see me beat the shit out of them. I hope you enjoy.

I love the high contrast train tracks on these.

Man, @Filthy  they keep getting better and better. Some of the most vibrant blues I’ve ever seen. Now I just wish IH would make more of this denim.

@SKT  Thanks!! Iron Heart does all the work. I just sleep/live in them. And maybe obsessively stroke my legs with my hands They are really great, and I absolutely love them, but truth be told I don't know if they are all that different than regular 21 oz denim visually. I feel like maybe they are softer than regular 21 oz denim. So maybe check out a pair of the anniversary jeans to sate your hunger in the meantime.

Part of the vibrant blue highlights has to do with the UV index and outside light. I look at what the weather is going to be and wait to take pictures during morning or evening light.

This is the same jeans taken with an expensive Nikon camera I still don't know how to use.

I think a lot of the blue has to do with an algorithm the camera on my Samsung phone does behind the scenes. I don't use any filter or anything else I just crop the pictures slightly.

I actually have a pair of 21L only in the 666 cut. Mine are nowhere near yours in fading but the electric blues are definitely coming through.  I totally agree with you about how soft they are too. I just remember Giles saying they weren’t going to make anymore of this denim and I think it’s a shame.  Here’s a quick pic of mine (sorry wrong thread). I’ll try your tips on lighting so I can maybe capture the blues better.

Clothes Photography is a lot more difficult than you might expect,and I think Iron Heart’s clothes photography is second to none. Everything about it from the way they compose their images to the natural rendition of the colors of all their garments. Having said that I think your Nikon pictures are quite good. They accomplish what you wanted. I think the jeans look great from a fading and a photographic perspective. The best way to learn how to use your Nikon is to take lots of pictures and see what works and what doesn’t work. @Filthy

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I need to get a light meter and learn how to use all the settings. @Jett129

Oh wow @SKT that is awesome you have a pair. Just keep wearing them.
