Update: 500 wear days!!!

I’ve done some much needed sashiko repairs since my last update.

These are still my daily drivers and I have worn them for well over 500 days in the last one and a half year.

I bike a lot and it is taking its toll on the denim as you can see! I’ll see how far I can take them, but there is new tears forming in several places that needs taking care of. I’ll better get to work!! 🪡🪡🪡

@Brandrea

Haha - thank you! I’m not doing commissions - yet!

@jrb1975

Thanks man!
They start out quite soft. I think the overdying process takes out the “new and stiff” feeling of the fabric.
I love IHs overdyed fabrics!

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!
