@Giles:

Hurrah….......

Left - the new 18oz indigo warp/indigo weft denim - Right - the existing 18oz indigo warp/cream weft denim

A pair of 666S is being sampled…..

Are you ready to testify?  I said are you ready to testify?

[Jesselirola]

just seeing this, i'm all for a chino sort of cut in this, like the existing duck pants, something with some nice pocket bags, and button fly and a watch pocket please!!!

I've lurked on these forum for a long time, I've always drooled over Iron Hearts but I've never been able to afford jeans as expensive as these.

But this changes everything, if this denim gets released in the beatle buster of the 555 cut I will cop so fast it'll make your head spin.

[toddjcoley]

so what are the predicted fades with this. brands like 3sixteen do it with black so the jeans fade to blue. so would these fade at all or get darker in the faded areas? Or am I a complete idiot and got it all wrong 

[JCar2666]

A lot of us are waiting on this one oil pit.  Hopefully G can make half of us happy

[Giles]

Both weft and warp are rope dyed, so you will get fade to white in the areas of wear.  But in actuality, only time will tell what the end result will be…

[Max Power]

^^^I think that the result will not be that far from PBJ 007 & 009.

BTW: PBJ (and Sugar Cane, SDA, …) does some prefaded models to get a glimpse of how their denim will fade. I've rarely seen IH do that (besides the denim M-65). Not sure wether I like that state, so the fading abilities stay a mystery or wether I'd embrace that to see what I can expect from a denim.
Thoughts about that?

[Arabit]

If this is raw at 18oz, can I expect this denim to go up to 20z post wash?

[JamesMarg]

What is the difference fade wise and colour wise between indigo warp and weft, and the standard ingido dyed jeans? (Obviously will depend on the amount of times dipped etc, but generally?)

[Seul]

Max: I'd rather have a forum member wear the sample for a couple of months than see a pre-distressed pair…

[JamesMarg]

Ahh crap, just read up!
Don't worry

[Seul]

Co-incidentally, that member would be me. And I'd do it for free.

[Max Power]

You're really an altruistic fella

[Seul]

Just doing my part…

[Giles]

[toddjcoley]

Very smart!

[JCar2666]

Absolutely amazing.

I need these in a 634!

[JamesMarg]

What a tease…

[sombrero]

Lovely.  Giles, contrasting golden threads throughout or maybe navy/indigo everywhere (aside from the hem)?

[Giles]

I'm looking at some thread samples stitched onto pockets today.  The threads on the sample we made were too bright and looked a bit True Religiony, we are trying to mute it down, if that does not work we will revert to blue thread
