@jordanscollected that's one of my favorite parts. It's certainly an interesting fabric!

I have had a lot of fun beating up this tricotine shirt. Love this thing mucho but I think it's time to hang it up for now and move onto a new fade project soon. Been wearing it on and off since October '24

@RobeOfTheMagi yes. I avoided it at first, thinking slimmer cuts might be better. But ever since trying 634 I'm not going back to anything else. well, maybe 1955 haven't tried that one yet though

bump

@Oaktavia How's the jump back and forth between the XHSIB and the UHR going? Any thoughts about the two, one that's feels like it fades faster, is more smooth or rough or breathable, one that you're growing more affectionate towards, etc? Be curious to know which one of your darling twins you are loving more especially since you're wearing these two heavy fuckers in the heat.

@Punatnik oh hell yeah. I'm saving my shirt till the fall but this gives me something to look forward to!

Not mine, but there's a pair of these on Grailed right now (not my size unfortunately otherwise I'd snag them) and I can't help but marvel at how beautiful they are & I had to share them. Hope this isn't stolen valor!

Hello all.

IHJ-103-IND - 12oz Wabash Chore Jacket - Indigo - LARGE $200 free shipping continental USA

0 wears. Too big for me, catch and release. This thing is great, but unfortunately I bought this in the beginning of my IH journey before I started truly knowing/understanding my measurements. I HOT washed it to try to shrink it down, but it's still too big for me. So check the measurements first to make sure it will work for you. I measured IH way. In my humble opinion this thing fits more like an XL.

Shoulders: 19.5
Length: 30
Chest (P2P): 21
Opening: 20.75
Sleeve: 26.25

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for looking.

Forgive me if this has been asked before but, what exactly makes indigo special? We have black because it's just indigo that has been chemically treated... But how come we don't have red, greens, yellow dyed garments that fade like indigo does?

From research I understand that indigo is a "chunky" particle that just kind of coats surface of the cotton fibers, and thus doesn't penetrate and can be worn away. But why aren't there other dyes that have this property, or are they just not feasible/affordable/desirable?

@Denimminer Man I feel that.

On a different note, Iron Heart has made so many different types of CPO shirts and the 21oz is the real OG denim, the core at the center of it all. I'm honestly a bit surprised this hasn't been a thing yet until now. A welcomed surprise all the same.

@MSav32323 I agree. I think the OD is great and all, especially out of the box, but nothing beats the normal indigo fades to me personally. I'm stoked to see people put this regular indigo fabric through the ringer.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot hell yeah those slubby jeans have a great color to them

@Mindfulbiscuit damn you are giving that shirt some real treatment

@deadendpro man I love all the denimheads of the world

I'm trying to decide between the straight cut and the slim straight olive fatigues, anyone tried both on and have a preference? My favorite IH cut is the 634 so I was wary of the slim straights at first just because of the name, but they don't look that slim to me at all.

@americanathreads oh shit I was so certain I was gonna go for the normal version but this really makes me second guess myself. Maybe I'll go for the overdyed and wait for the 409 to get a nice blue CPO

@Oaktavia Yours is a beast. No, not the right word, yours is a goddamn leviathan. Seems like the closest we'll ever get to a 25oz jacket. Never say never though I guess (a fella can dream)

Been doing sprinkler stuff in my UES tricotine & IH double knee ducks

These look super cool

Damn yeah those went quick as hell, didn't get the chance to grab a pair of 30s. Ah well, c'est la vie.
