  • RE: Did I spoil my fade?

    Thanks! ☺️ I have to admit, I was on board as a denim head pretty fast, but the fruits of my labour have really sealed the deal. And one thing regarding the expense: my Naked and Famous pair was pretty cheap (got em on sale with a store credit). I think the fabric weight was 12 oz or so. Something like that.

    Well, those jeans need to be repaired already, even though I've worn them a fraction as often. The Iron Hearts are going strong and have a long life ahead of them. So what I'm saying is cheap jeans wear out fast and need to be replaced. I'd rather sink the total cost into a pair of Iron Hearts and wear em for years.

    Anyway I'll definitely skip the dryer going forward. It only shakes off a bit of moisture anyway.

    I didn't do anything fancy. Just the initial soak then I waited as long as possible for the first wash.

    Just in case anyone gives a shit, here's my first attempt at taming a pair of selvedge jeans. I've got a couple pairs from Naked and Famous and Soso as well, but this is the pair I wear the most. To be honest I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

    Y'know what, let me add one thing. These days you never know what you're going to be in for when you roll up to an online community, and though I was pretty confident that Iron Heart folks would probably be cool, well, you never know.

    As for the denim, for a little while I thought for sure I'd made a critical mistake. Maybe not an unrecoverable error or anything, but you get the idea. I'm definitely not thrilled with the marbling, but I didn't even realize that was the term for it before I asked. Hearing that everyone makes those kinds of mistakes is encouraging and reassuring.

    So thanks again! I'll see if I can't rustle up a pic of my other Iron Heart pair that I wear a heck of a lot more often. I think they turned out pretty well for a selvedge newbie (they are in fact my very first pair).

    P.P.S. Is this the right place for this thread? Apologies if it isn't.

    @Buckeye Ahhhh. I used the mildest spin cycle... and I did put them in the dryer without any heat just to shake off some of the water.

    Am I screwed?

    P.S. I'm sorry to admit it, but they look worse IRL...

  • Did I spoil my fade?

    Hi folks! I've worn Iron Hearts for a long time, but I still consider myself a newbie. I have a pair of 888s in black, and I thought they were due for a wash recently, so I did. I think it's the 2nd or 3rd wash... I don't wear these too often because they're just a wee bit too tight through the thigh. Anyway, last time I washed them I was left with some super weird patterns in the fade. What did I do wrong? I think I'll keep wearing them in an attempt to bend them to my will, but suddenly I'm wracked with doubt. Thanks for any input.
