Just wow!

@Ikeaparty agree - it’s so cool. But I’m in such a debate with myself since I really like the look of a faded denim collar. So is it this or a classic CPO without the corduroy?

Iron Heart 666 21oz od + IH-526J-142OD - 14oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III - Overdyed Indigo

One year anniversary for the 666 ods!

In two days I will have owned these jeans for one year. Bought them in Berlin I October last year and wore them daily for seven months straight before the first wash.

I aired them out frequently and spot cleaned when needed.

Over the summer I’ve mostly been wearing shorts but now I’ve been back in them for a couple of months. So all in all I think these have seen around 9 months of every day wear.

I bike for at least half an hour every day and often more so the seat area gets beat up quite a lot.

Recently I did a sashiko repair along the edge of the right back pocket. It’s where I keep my phone most of the time. And combined with my biking habits a tear was beginning to form.

Hope you like my progress. And I can’t wait to see how they look same time next year!!

One year update!

@DeeDee85 thanks man! Definitely fun to stick to one pair of jeans for six months and see the results!

Hang in there! People say these are a slow fader, but I’m quite surprised at the amount of fading I achieved in just six months with every day wear.

See you after a gentle wash!

I’ll stop now:

Just a couple more pre first wash:

Iron Heart IH 666S 21oz OD Jeans – A Journey of 184 Days!

I bought my Iron Heart IH 666S 21oz OD jeans at Burg und Schild in Berlin on October 14, 2024. Since then, I have worn them every single day – that's now 184 days! I haven't washed them a single time yet.

Everyday Use
As an office worker, I spend many hours sitting down, and I also bike to and from work daily, totaling 6 km so they have definitely seen the most wear in the seat area.Additionally, I live an active life with small children, so trips to the playground, bike rides in the forest and crawling around on wooden floors has given the jeans a good dose of additional wear.

The Result
The jeans have developed beautifully! And they have become more and more comfortable with each use. I can really feel the difference in fit and durabilit compared to cheaper jeans I have owned. It's clear that the material is of the highest quality!

First Wash
Now, my IH 666S are ready for their first wash! I can hardly wait to see how they will evolve even further. I will post some more pictures after wash!!

The journey with these jeans has only just begun, and I plan to keep them as my primary pair moving forward.

Ill let the pictures speak for themselves!

@beef_bonanza
It looks incredible!

@Asger-Ebdrup

Almost two years in this beauty and it’s just now beginning to show some signs of wear. From a distance it still looks pretty black, but up close it’s been developing some nice light fades. It’s still one of the best purchases I’ve ever made!!

Some evo pics (paired with my new 666-21od for the full od tux):

Thanks for helping me spend my money well! Just committed To this beauty in size XXL and it fits like a glove! Can’t wait to see how it develops over time!!

@neph93:

Looks to me like it would work best over a single layer. Thin sweaters, henley’s, tee’s etc. the 3XL may be too roomy in the body.

Yes - that’s what I’m afraid of. I really don’t want the boxy oversized look. Might pull the trigger on this one in xxl. It’s a beautiful jacket!! [emoji7]

I just tried this jacket on in a size xxl. Same size I use in the UHLs. Does it look too small on me?

I’m a tall skinny dude with monkey arms. 200cm and 85kg.
I want the jacket to fit snug and it felt super comfortable over the flannel and I could even fit a woolen sweater under it too.
But it’s not long on the arms for me as I have seen it on others. And it’s also quite short in the body.
Unfortunately the shop didn’t have it in xxxl, so I couldn’t try that on for comparison.
