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.

@FlavourFade @T4920 you both absolutely crushed it with this jacket. Can't wait to see the further progress.

@Oaktavia Thank you buddy. Lately I gave them two washes as I keep spilling stuff on it. So eventually the indigo is really reducing

Over 900 days meanwhile. The indigo weft is living a life on its own.

Have worn them for almost 500 days by now.
Absolutely incredible and I am still debating with myself, if I should do the same to the SBG Type3 once the modified version comes out.

New set of pictures. Still wearing it super frequently. Combs and „stacks“ seem to settle now which also shorten the sleeves quite signifiantly (which is a good thing)

@Richard I have or had the same issue with the sleeve. More like 2 inches. I am sure you will lose this inch when the ellbowcombs have settled.

@northsouthdenimguy Thank you buddy. This denim is indeed very special and incredibly well made

@T4920 This one is really developing fantastically. Really love the current colour tone
