Make one @EdH I can’t recall ever having seen one. I’ll gladly contribute with all kinds of sage wisdom. I’m a pretty awesome dad.

@Kasi you asked me about superblack selvedge jeans recently, perhaps @Jett129 did also... I can't find where though.

555 and 666 will be coming to us next week, 634 will follow shortly after

Been wearing my 21oz SBGs a bit more lately. When I got them new they had a bit of a fold crease. As I’ve been wearing them there is some light fading/ dust line formation happening vertically. Should I iron that out so it doesn’t make a long ass fade line? Or will that crease diminish with some more wearing of the jeans?

[Matt]

I can’t see how ironing it out would hurt. Go for it.

@Mizmazzle Turn the jean inside out and iron them that way as it will prevent any scorching and sheen to the outside of the jean if your settings for the iron aren’t correct.

Pro tip from ironing my military uniforms from days gone by.

Thanks gentleman. I think I’ll do that!

Worked like a charm!!

Random but wondering…does old denim fade slower than denim that was recently made? Ive been sitting on a pair of og 21oz since 2020 and it got me thinking. Like, does the dye “imbed” more over time?

[Kasi]

I had a pair of 555 21oz back in 2014
The indigo was darker.

Then brought another one in 2021 felt the indigo is lighter.
This one fade slowly.

@Kasi
aren’t there two versions of the 21 oz denim ?
an early one and second what we have now

[Kasi]

@Daniel-San

Time changes everything, the Beetle Buster was the same as the older 21oz 555 in dye colour.

But my votes goes what came out 10 years ago.

Not only that the shirt 33 indigo colours has change as well too.

Right side is new colour use on the shirt

Left side is the old colour

@Kasi awesome comparison! Is the amount of wear approx. the same?
Feels like there should be all new IH evolution thread.

[J-IV]

I feel as though the dye as well as the cotton may have an influence on fading potential as well. The older denim (Beatles Buster era) from what I remember used Zimbabwe cotton. Which probably has different characteristics than the more recent cotton IH uses now

[Kasi]

Possibly…
