Thanks @AdamJ and @ZackB
It became ridiculously soft indeed @CosmoSix5

Still my go go jacket and I wear it on a daily basis. Wanna really see if black or blue will dominate on the long run

Pretty happy with how it came out of its 2nd wash

try my best. Can‘t stay as virgin as they are now

Summer has not always been superhot this year.
So I got quite some wear in during the last months

My „new“ 1000 days of wear project. Already collected 535 days during the last 9 years, but just now I took them into heavy rotation.

Thanks @AdamJ @Fadez @V-P
@Jett129 42€-Cent to be specific. The excel-sheet, I use to keep track of days just gave me this number today. And yes, it does not get any nerdier.

1000 days of wear completed. 12 machine washes. Slim and heavyweight combined is possible. But not always fun.

Pre-wash - After wash

Ready to continue this journey…

Little new cracks to fix for my tailor atm. Guess this is ok after 978 days. Can‘t wait to receive them back.

One more month to go until 1000 days. I think after that I have to give them some repairs…

…and then continue.

@CosmoSix5 Best choice you could make! This jacket is perfectly weighted and becomes super soft within no time. Also the different shades of black and blue depending on the light are amazing. Well, the fading is tough as nails but if you commit to it it looks perfectly with a bit of wear!

Absolutely and the jacket is too damn good not to do so. Also I consider the high amount of black dye a good thing. It really adds a special flavour compared to „just“ indigo.

Thank you @Oaktavia - as mentioned before, the overdyed fabric is really light sensitive when it comes to photographing. It might appear a bit more blue than in reality in these shots as it was a bright day. So the difference to before wash is not that big. However as you can see, the character of the fabric is really coming through now.

Gave mine its first wash the other day after over 2 years of wear. Couldn‘t be happier about the result. From now on I am gonna wear and wash the hell out of it.

@denim-dawg thanks man. Wearing it almost constantly lately. Pretty rewarding:

500 days of wear!

@Nostradamion Thanks man. To be frank the colour is really different depending on the light and camera settings and super hard to capture accurately. While I am not saying this wasn't a rather "blue" day, there are also days and light where it appears more like a dull black and even the fades show minimum blue tones. If you check my previous pictures on this thread you'll see what I mean. However, this is really cool about it and I cannot wait so see how it progresses further.

@Mizmazzle I think we are all heavily biased by wearing too much Iron Heart. A lot of high quality stuff from other brands seems light to us even though it's pretty substantial compared to the stuff 99% of people are buying on highstreet.

Thank you guys. @Mizmazzle I can confirm, the nice drapping and how ridiculously soft it is now. It‘s just THE perfect weight for a denim jacket. Funnily enough I got enough comments from non-Iron Heart people how heavy this jacket was

Moving forward. Not as fast as the guys on the 19oz version, but I still love it.
