  • RE: IH-634-UHR - Ultra Heavy - Straight Cut Jean

    @bluemantra I didn't notice a great deal of difference at the time but it was noticeable. I never soak - I always wear them raw for as long as I can and then wash at a long temperature - in this case 30C to preserve the patch in particular and to limit shrinkage as these were tight (I bought nearly 8 years I got them out of the cupboard). Since they were washed they have started to fade faster.

    Here are my raw unwashed unsoaked SG9903s after about 4 months wear. They lose more indigo at wear points every day. IMG_20250308_1041524.jpg IMG_20250308_1041405.jpg IMG_20250308_1041292.jpg ![IMG_20250308_1041265.jpg]IMG_20250308_1041077.jpg

    My 2016 UHRs have now had one wash no soaks. Here they are after 6 months wear.IMG_20250308_1049087.jpg IMG_20250308_1048431.jpg IMG_20250308_1048250.jpg IMG_20250308_1048183.jpg

  • RE: IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

    These 25 oz XHS were my first Iron Hearts bought in May 2014, size 34. They stretched and became too big so I sized down to a 32, and didn't wear the size 34s much. In time they shrank so I have started wearing them again but the patch had gone quite brittle and was discoloured.

    I noticed a small pile of random patches in the workshop at last September's party including a new patch with the exact same model and size as my 25 oz size 34s but then forgot about it until a couple of weeks ago when I asked Josh if he still had it. He did!

    Josh has now done an excellent job at replacing the patch and even returned the old one!

    My December 2016 IH UHR 634s W32 L36 after 3 months. No soaks or washed, but sprayed with fabric refresher inside out once about 3 weeks ago, which made them go quite stiff. IH UHR 634 W32 L36 after 3 months .jpg IH UHR 634 W32 L36 front after 3 months .jpg

  • RE: The Strike Gold

    Sorry @Alex . At the party I was super-restrained despite trying on and loving the slubs in 634 cut and another cut which I really liked. But I knew if I tried a new cut I would end up getting carried away and wanting that cut in the other weights as well. So I returned home empty-handed and got lots of brownie points for being able to answer No to my wife's question whether I had bought any more jeans.

    Advance a month, and I got beguiled by The Strike Gold's 24.8 Extra Hard series. May be I saw the competition pair in the Indigo Invitational? I wanted the non-washed version. I liked the big pockets on the SG9903s and the taper on the SG9904s. I was able to score 1 pair of non-washed SG9903s and 2 pairs on non-washed SG9904s so evened it up with a non-washed pair of SG9903s. However, the non-washed are also awesome.

    To cut it short I ended up with 1 extra pair of one-washed 9903s and an extra pair of one-washed 9904s which are more suitable for smarter occasions. See pic

    But I needed something in reserve so I got a further non-washed pair of SG9903s and SG9904s. See pic

    In total the 8 pairs of extra hard should last me a while!

    However, all is not lost as I am still really enjoying my UHRs and am approaching 3 months without a wash or soak.

  • RE: Care For Your (Denim/ Wool/ Cotton)

    I thought the time had come to wash my 2016 UHR 634s 21/23s after having worn them for over 2 months without washing or soaking.

    Instead, I turned them inside out and spayed them with fabric refresher. They smell a whole lot better now but have gone very rigid! However, they have not shrunk at all. Has anybody else done this? Are there any downsides?

    There are also Antibacterial Fabric refreshers but these do not seem readily available in supermarkets and it looks as if they have been re- withdrawn or re-described to focus on upholstery fabrics so I guess they may have adverse consequences, whether on the fabric or on the skin. Has anybody used these?

    This is a pair I bought in December 2016 and started to wear in early September 2024, after 2 months - see posts in IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo in https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/12082/ih-634s-uhr-21-23oz-raw-selvedge-denim-straight-cut-jeans-indigo/7?=1731827530284

  • RE: The Strike Gold

    @JunkPants well you can wear more than one pair at a time - probably not a good idea with this weight though!

    Here they are at the piano! I so love this non- washed unsanforized 24.8 ounce denim and those lovely big almost square pockets that I have gone for a pair of SG9904s with the narrower hem as wellIMG_20241101_1715447.jpg ! SG9903 for boots and SG9904 for trainers.

    @JunkPants said in The Strike Gold:

    @Jeansman Nice! Very cool fabric. Are you putting these to use straight away?

    (I have a pair of these in the tapered, one washed version, SG9904, tucked away, waiting for the right occasion. Might be a little while, too many great IH jeans to get through 😄)

    @JunkPants I wore them this afternoon but generally will wear them in gradually alongside my UHRs as I am having so much fun with my UHRs. The SG9903s are not good for soft furnishings as they shed indigo (at least on my hands) like crazy.

    @T4920 said in The Strike Gold:

    @Jeansman Amazing, I always wanted to feel these in person! Surprised to hear they are more malleable the the UHR, although I never felt the original version of that denim..

    Thanks @T4920 . I also have a few pairs of unworn earlier edition UHRs you could feel and some barely worn earlier edition XHSs as well as some unworn Full Counts with arcs and red tabs and loads of unworn LVC.

  • RE: The Strike Gold

    @swiss-jeansfreak and I started getting very excited about the raw 24.8 ounce Extra Hard SG9903s! I could see where you could get 2 pairs raw in different sizes. He sussed it out and when I went to look again next morning one of the two pairs had gone! He admitted he was the guilty party. I quickly snaffled the last pair, a size 32 hoping they would fit. Well they do and were so much easier to do up and less course than my 2016 size 32 UHR634s.

  • RE: IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

    @indigo_nico yes: I always wear them raw for a few weeks and will them wash them for the first time. @Giles will say you need to soak them before wearing to avoid damage to the constructional stitching as the coarse fabric can cut the stitches which need to bed in. Personally, I have never had the problem.

    @indigo_nico My December 2016 edition UHRs are also on about 39 days of wear since I took the labels off and started to wear them in September. They have yet to see water apart from the odd raindrop. The darker photos are probably the truest colours.IMG_20241026_0947016.jpg IMG_20241026_0945310.jpg IMG_20241026_0945012.jpg IMG_20241026_0943263.jpg IMG_20241026_0942429.jpg IMG_20241026_0941257.jpg IMG_20241026_0940391.jpg
