The Evolution of Iron Heart

My cherished 805 overalls.
These seem to be fading rapidly now. I think I washed these 4 or 5 times with Fels Naptha using my method. Not washed the first couple months, then about once every 2 months.
I'll post full pics in 3 months when these have over a year on them. I have something cool planned for that… a full 3D scanned model of them.

WOW @Filthy 21/23oz junkie they sure look great. Like @Beatle would say BUSTUM
-
Thanks man. Yeah I wear them everyday. I don't do anything crazy to them. Just wear them and wash them gently. I was surprised how much indigo these lost during the last wash. In a couple months they should look pretty crazy.

I think this guy deserves to be commended. Fucking gorgeous!

From the article:
His name is Bhisma Diandra. I wonder who that is on here?

Five and a half years of wear in Indonesia and they're still intact. Proof that washing is a good thing.

Thanks @Max Power
it’s early on but I just love how it’s losing indigo.

Got some jeans back from the seamstress and it occurred to me they both show the contrasting fading qualities of two of IH’s most famous denims.
On the left some IH-666-XHS, on the right IH-555-01. The 555’s have twice as much wear on them as the 666 showing how the 21oz fades slower, while the 666’s show much higher contrast with some very dark indigo and some very white fades. You can also see the vertical fading on the XHS compared with the gentler patterns on the 21oz. This is a shit photo, but when I get some better light I’ll try documenting them properly.

That photo is fantastic.
