I’m hoping that this “Hall of Fades” can grow to include lots more pairs and lots more denims, but first things first with so much going on…

If Photobucket cooperates, here are a couple of my old pair.
@Chris:

I recently washed my pair and thought I'd take a couple of pictures when they were fresh out of the dryer.

@Oaktavia have a look here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=434.msg644418#msg644418

And then there are my IH-555-01's too:

In addition you have this thread: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=104.0 which you will need to dig through, and the individual product threads.

Well done on the abuse front Reuben! Those stacks are just straight eye candy.

@Chris @neph93 nice photos from the both of you. I sit here with my pair of 555-01 hanging on a hook on my wall. I love that I am taking part in the Indigo Invitational but hooo boy seeing your all's photos makes me miss wearing my pair.

@Oaktavia:

Where can I find a photo(s) of a pair of flagship 21oz jeans that have been washed dozens of times/super vintage fade? Is there a gallery or a sub on here for washed out fades?

Great combo @Oaktavia everything fits just right.

How about an alteration to the IHJ-80 black mountain parka to add hip side zips resembling moto jacket?

Came across these photos in the r/rawdenim Reddit page. OP stated it is the 21oz flagship denim, 7 years old. Anyone else on here have IH that is this shredded and light in color?

That looks self inflicted to me.

I'm wondering the same…the post said "lots of wrecks" not sure that that means?

If anybody could do it, it would be Swiss jeans freak - Ruedi Karrer. If you’re unfamiliar with him, you should look him up.

Oh for sure man, his Lee Storm Rider jacket is a-mah-zig! And that is just getting started…

@Giles had a pair of IH-634S in 21oz that are that kind of colour. They used to hang on the wall at SENY, maybe they still do. I think he has an early version of the type III in that kind of state too.

Giles

It's not that early, it has a W not a red tab….

When I win the lottery and get the chance to write The Big Book of Iron Heart, I will refer to it as classic early mid-period. It will be that kind of book [emoji1]

Thanks for the reminder about G’s 634s. Isn’t the story that he wore those in the original remodel of his current home or was that his type III.

I really need that reference book…

Also, can’t forget about the previous DWC champions @spitfiredealer and @louisbosco. They both had some really nice fades.

Giles

I don't know if SENY have a pair of my 634's. I know that SESF did…

Here is my OG IH-526J, got to be 15/16 years old now, and yes, it is what I wore when we rebuilt the house....

My bad. I tend not to let the details get in the way of of a good story [emoji1]

What a nicely faded jacket, love it. I hope to get this far this far my IHJ-72.
