Short jacket trifecta complete.

200 wears on these today. Love XHS.
These were washed at 50 wears and 122 wears. Won't be too long before I give them another wash, but will hold out a little longer at least.

Great to be back in XHS after a year of wearing SBG for the Indigo Invitational. That said, really starting to miss black jeans now. My love for black denim keeps growing stronger

Been wearing these all day every day since the last submission, but no real observable difference. This is life for us slow faders

If anything they've been soaking up some of the indigo from my 295-IB and are turning darker. Keep this up and I'll be back at square one once the competition is over

Posting here as well, now that the Indigo Invitational is over.
Great pair of jeans!

333 Wears in total on these.
4 washes (At 117, 232, 295 and 333 wears).

First submission in the books. No days missed so far.

Love these SBGs.
(Do I miss the XHS? Maybe a little bit )

Not a whole lot of progress since last month (despite wearing these more than I anticipated). Still only on the one wash, considering doing another wash soon.

My goal for the Indigo Invitational was to reach at least 200 wears.

That has now been achieved, currently at 203 wears. Still at only one wash. I'll definitely be continuing to use these going forward, but will be wearing some other pairs as well. The longing for XHS is strong

333 Wears in total on these.
4 washes (at 117, 232, 295 and 333 wears).

Overall I enjoyed the experience a whole lot more than I thought I would. I imagine I'll join the next one as well.
Highly recommend giving it a go if you've been contemplating it.

@Gammaman Entering with bibs is awesome.

@Jcaz6996 Nice, will be another amazing pair I'm sure.

@gouki74 Cool, hard to beat XHS. Not sure I could go a year without washing, but looking forward to following along.

Decided to go with the SBGs in the end. This will be the year of black jeans.
Not looking to win, but would like to reach at least 200 wears.

Just submitted Raw Proof:

These needed another another wash. Currently at 295 wears and 3 washes. No change

I thought they looked rather good hanging on the door though:

@flannel-slut Wow, this is a good one. Looks great.

A bit late (exam season in medical school will keep you busy), but wanted to congratulate the contestants and winners.

@Mister_Brue Congrats, absolutely amazing piece. I'm sure your chore jacket is glad it is finally over, the poor thing. Well deserved victory!
@denim-dawg Wow, such a unique and spectacular look! Love seeing leather represented. (Absolutely love leather as a material)
@olblue Stunning jacket. You are racking up a number of extraordinary items now
@Larkens Wow, beautiful pieces. Love the sleeves on that 409.
@SamD What a jacket, and very, very cool to see the evolution in the daily pictures. (Love this cut as well, I need to put some wear on my 123-OD).
@matt_rost Looks great!
@Davids_denim Dang good! Extra points for really putting in the time.

@GTPowers Great shirt! (Loved your XHSbb as well btw). I certainly enjoy your updates and pictures, but I'm not really active on IG etc. so you probably wouldn't know it. And I'm sure I'm not alone. And one thing that's become clear to me after following a few of these Redline Rallys and Indigo Invitationals is that there are always pieces that are overlooked for some reason. (And for instance, how the 25oz Samurai jacket didn't make the top 10 this year or how Jcaz has never actually won one of these things, I have no idea).

Sorry if I forgot anyone, I'm sure I did. Hope to see you all for the upcoming Indigo Invitational.

@jdwaid You definitely won't regret this one, one of the absolute best IH shirts in my opinion.

@Davids_denim You definitely had my vote. Amazing shirt, and best of luck!

That’s too bad!

I think we'll all be getting this one. What a cool piece.

Who will be wearing the sample?

@Mister_Brue Haha, that's my size so I'm just trying to make him buy it before I give in and buy it myself!

@jimcord I'm with @Mister_Brue on this, I don't tend to size up for CPOs. Then again, I typically use them as I would a regular (denim) shirt.

(Iron Heart Germany has XXL in stock by the way)

Great collection!

Love the 20oz chore coats. Hopefully I'll be able to secure one when the time comes.
And wow, that horse suede M65 is mighty nice.

@AdamJ Very nice.
