I’m no expert been into IH since 2020 over that short time I know how denim fades especially 25oz the time and dedication to wearing them just to see the start of some fades .
Everyone is entitled to what and how they wear there jeans but this just screams
️ or is that just me ..
He’s 100% got the Dremel on those bad boys..

@Jcaz6996
Pretty strange those fadings
Very little wear above and under the honey combs.
Can’t image how those extreme fades on the creases can happen in relation to the other parts of this pair
I guess you’re not that wrong with your guess that they have been sandpapered or something similar. -
@Daniel San Glad you’re seeing what I’m seeing We must be the minority then mate as over 2k have liked that picture totally crazy ..
Just looking through the guys instagram page rubbing sand in type lll …

Think I liked the pics too
, did when just scrolling through. not take a closer look at that moment.
Everyone can do what ever they want with their clothes , don’t care as long as they not take part in a competition.
And there are lot guys who do such things in competition I guess.

Totally @Oaktavia little surprised IH actually posted the picture on their Instagram.
After having some of the best faded IH jeans come through their doors for repair and to be featured in the hall of fades that this pair just looks suspicious..Think that’s parts of the problem he actually hasn’t put quality time into them but used some sort of abrasive to enhance the honeycombs then to post it on social media to get over 2k people liking it… so they continue to do so because it’s easy.. Same crap with competitions too many people just liking the post instead of questioning it..

I find these laser beam sandpaper fade guys extremely obnoxious, but it's not like there's anything to be done about em. They seem obviously phony to me, but the posts always have a shitload of likes. I guess people are just into fades that look like bad 2000s era Diesels

If the fades corresponded in other areas of the jeans, they would look more realistic.

This just shows how people have no patience and want instant results and likes. Wearing raw denim isn't about how quickly or how perfect the fades are it's what you did in them to produce those fades. Well for me anyway

Couldn’t agree more anyone who loves this brand know it’s about the journey from the first day you throw that pair on and keeping track of the process along the way to seeing the dedication pay off in months of wear with some amazing fades custom to your way of life something to be proud of . Not cheating the process
Glad the IG post got removed it definitely wasn’t worthy.. -
@Jcaz6996 I am so horribly conflicted on this discussion. Do I like the sanded artificial fade look personally? No, but there is a huge but in all of this.
We are all different and have different tastes and aesthetics. Each person’s jeans and the way they wear them is up to that individual. We’ve seen everything from paint splatters, ocean washed, jeans covered in coffee grounds, sanded, etc…Each are unique and represent the person wearing them. Should we judge if this person decides this is the way they want to wear their jeans? If so, where does it stop.
Once again, I’m not saying any of this is right and wrong. Just my $.02

Good point @goosehd I also feel less upset about someone doing silly things to customise their jeans. I like my bleached pair of OD21oz, and that is certainly an artificial speeding up of the fading process. Trying to deceive, especially in a contest, seems to be the issue here though, and I'd agree that seems silly. Outside of a contest, and if not pretending otherwise, seems cool that denim is something you can play around with.

In a contest, this is most certainly misleading and unfair. From what I can see on this form many folks really embrace the journey of these garments–and the journey is what makes this rewarding, the destination (sIcK fAdEZs) is a by-product.
Of course, wear your jeans how you want--take a power sander to them, as long as you are happy who cares. There's no doing it 'wrong'. However, it can't be denied, at least in my opinion, a little bit of the spirit of what makes Japanese denim so awesome is indeed lost when the destressing is blatantly manufactured.
Here's some distressing done on 'amazing' jeans at the factory--makes me chuckle a little from what I've learned about IH's denim.
Never knew i'd be so passionate about...pants
