@KEVINSTEED - did the best I could with the photos. You're right though, their absolute beauty and uniqueness comes across in real life better still.
@Flash - yeah, rather on the tight side, true. I own another pair of the same model, same size, but worn in by me from new, they are a trifle wider. But they are comfy enough.
@Giles - not quite sure I get the jibe about the three Adam's apples, but perhaps I don't need to…....

Got my 470 Black Fade to Grey back from the talented crew at Indigo Proof ( @tmadd ) after getting a bit chopped off and hemmed.
I gave them a machine wash and machine dry before sending off and the size went down a bit even from
When new (they are factory one washed anyways).Very happy with the silhouette now and these will be a great black jean option for the warmer months ahead. I'm
Interested in seeing how these fade compared to IH SBG…
Current texture:
Definitely a more washed out black color even when compared to a few weeks of wear priorSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gave the SC470 black fade to grey another wash.. These lose dye quickly, but still have a more vintage fade pattern when compared to the IH SBG which is usually super sharp in the examples I have seen. I'm guessing that's because of the light weight nature of the SC version… Anyways, here are pre-wash pics.. They are in the dryer now (yes, I'm not overly careful with my gear... Most of the time)
Cheers,
Adam

@tmg:
Perfect fit, and looks spot on with the white (wheat?) jeans! Wish I could pull off that look
Thanks dude! Im very happy with the way this one fits me. It's the 1962 model and the denim is pretty awesome. It's a lot longer than I anticipated, which is a good thing!
You could pull off wheat jeans! The new 666 pique would be a great option when they hit!

An update on my 470 Black Fade to Grey Type III jeans - worn 1-3 days per week since December of 2015. Washed twice.

Your SC41470 are looking nice, Appfaff! I didn't know you had a pair, too. I bought mine a couple of months ago at Hinoya (Rakuten). After several soaks/washes the top botton developed some rust. I really like its look now!
All in all it's a great lightweight pair of black-fades-to-grey jeans for a great price. And they do fade fast. What I'm not a fan of is the sulphur smell which is still slightly noticeable even after three soaks and three washes. And taller guys beware: they do come with a short inseam in sizes up to 36. Only tag 38 has a longer inseam of ~35,5 inches.

looking good @Dion - I agree that they are great jeans. Sadly, mine are too big now, so they are reserves for my "work" jeans… they see the washer and dryer a lot of tighten them up, and mine are pretty much grey now. I'll post some pics coming up soon.
you scored!
