Indigo Invitational Y3

[indigogera]

Here’s my year 3 pair after a fresh wash this morning. I’m contemplating wearing a pair of 555-03 I have on ice after the comp. Or maybe save and wear it for year 4. I wore a 21 oz 777 for year 2 and some of those hot days were rough. We’ll see. Worst case, i got a pair of 14 oz Schaefer’s Garment Hotel jeans that will finally get some wear.

Look great mate after a wash surprised how much the indigo pops .
Going to leave mine until the end of the month before giving them the second wash they definitely smell dusty but only wearing them for work so not bothered..

[indigogera]

Last two pairs I’ve been torn with when and how much to wash. First washed has been around the 6 month mark and then about every 2-3 weeks in hot water. I always want to wait longer but I love when the color starts to pop after washes. And also the cleanliness thing. Here’s a side by side of new and around 8 washes.

@indigogera great contrast, looks pretty cool.... My pair got one soak and one maschine wash but the second wash is just around the corner...

[indigogera]

@Fades-for-future nice! I’ll wash at least one more time. Maybe two by the finish line. Last wash will be right before the last submission pic. I feel like you can see the details better when the denim is flat after a wash versus when it’s lived in and creased up. Less shadow.

[Fades for future]

@indigogera totally agreed, flat pics are way better to see the details in my opinion... Couldn't do the full 365 days due to a really crazy heat wave but all in all i'm happy with the result so far.... Will also throw it again in the washing machine before i do the final Pics

Not a pair of Iron Hearts but wanted to share my fades from this competition. These are 18oz collect mills slub denim from Left Field in the greaser fit.

@pmadison95 intriguing to see such a difference in the pattern/prominence of these honeycombs! What do you typical do whilst wearing these?

[pmadison95]

@T4920 In general I am at a desk but I do a lot of crouching and kneeling while at work. My guess is that must have something to do with it. other than that I am not sure but I find it interesting. This is my most heavily faded pair I will have to look at my other pairs to see how closely they mimic this.

Second wash done.... Soon we cross the finish line guys

great Job James
could you get rid of the stains ?

[Jcaz6996]

@Daniel-San cheers mate that’s before I put them in the wash, I can see a little bit of grease that hasn’t shifted got to look closely to spot it though.

Looking at the forecast for the next two weeks and it say rain great hope it changes so I can get some pictures..

[Daniel San]
