@Giles @goosehd thank you. i will do that.

fuck

@Malkior post more pics and include one of the leather patch please. From what I can tell it looks like some low contrast fades to me. AFAIK it’s organic cotton denim and it’ll eventually show some wear over time however, with both warp and weft being black and reactive dyed, it will be very subtle and very slow.

@Malkior i think youre overthjnking it. it’s denim, its rugged, it fades, and it’s okay that it isnt perfect. I really can’t tell what’s of concern in these pics. Without the caption I had thought it look like some peek-a-boo fades starting.

Wow ,yeah… this monster sure does bleed!

@wjw dont wait to get em repaired, get all the shrink out before you set the creases, crocking is real, patience…fades happen with time(wear), it’s a dice roll whether you get frisked goimg through security checkpoint wearing heavy denim,…

@wjw heck no. https://www.indigoproof.com/
Unfortunately by the time I got many of the pairs back, I had moved on and much of the darning is still very stiff. Lots of lessons learned over the years. I am pretty excited about my current rotation. They are all starting to pop.

My 40yr old body wont ever get into 32 ever again. I’ve not decided what I want to do with them. Maybe my boys will want them when they get bigger? Thought about having them folded and stacked on a shelf to display them in my office?

@wjw, thanks for the complement. IIRC, IH was know for being slow faders…but the deadstock cone was even less willing to give up the indigo. I actually bought the SExIH07 before the 634’s. But at the time they were my go to and thus worn till they started needing regular darning.

@Giles Nice. Go @Alex!

Workshirts w/o pockets = The Dinner Shirt…could it pass for dressing up?

Some of the SS shirting fabrics in my closet have got me thinking “what if?” designs ideas on variations against the workshirt pattern sans pockets…For example, maybe with the collar designed to sit up with a thinner profile…maybe a banded collar or maybe a button down?

If its design could straddle the formal/casual line, I could see it getting a lot of use out of my closet.

@SKT the 330 is . I now need to upgrade mine to copper.

633-SEx25-OD

@bradleyjames those cuts come in may fabrics and treatments.

The products will specify whether the are sulfur dyed or direct-dyed. These 633’s are the later. 633-SEx25-OD vs 777-14BR-OD (sulfer) vs 777-14BB for comparison.

Here are my 633-SEx25-OD. They have been my favorite pair for a while now and therefor they get the most time in my rotation. IRL the fades look like a cool charcoal-grey vs the inky blue-back you get with the sulphur od. Feels like the indigo is giving out before the direct-dye od. The fades are pretty faint but truly present, subtly and complex with lots of vertical slub now popping. unlike anything I’ve seen before. great job on these. glad I get to own ‘em.

@CAliCO_faded Those look fantastic and make me excited to get more time in my indigos. I really like the look and feel of newly washed denim…and think that frequent washing makes for some great looking fades.

repurposed the leather pull; put on my 136

I took the leather pull off mine. Did anyone else do it too? I wasn’t digging the way the leather draped when done up. I like the jacket more now.

a true two-for-one that I actually rotate between sides. fantastic layer. lived in the blue one enough to know that I needed the black.
