The Evolution of Iron Heart

[Guest]

Those BK07s look pretty fucking amazing Beatle !

[Beatle]

I am really curious to see some evo pics of the 07 indigo version …please post whatever pics you have

[Seul]

I seriously considered buying the indigo version as well and get rid of my other jeans. But I can't (have a bet going: can't buy jeans til July, as mentioned in another thread).

[Guest]

July will be here before you know it Seul. And after IH, I can totally understand why you'd want to get rid of your other jeans. I've gone through wardrobe purging myself, after Iron Heart walked into my life.

I'll try to get some pics this weekend. I do a lot of travelling in my jeans, and they show it. As it stands, the jeans have already been to Annapolis MD and Edison NJ, as well as all over Downstate NY. That's since New Years

By April, they'll have seen Annapolis MD again, Atlanta GA, and San Juan Puerto Rico

By September, they'll have seen been to Annapolis a few more times, New Orleans LA, Washington DC more than once, Newport Beach CA, Seattle WA, and anywhere else the government decides to send me

This should be an interesting year

Looking forward to the pics***

Mind you, I have Flat Head, Samurai, and Oni jeans. So it's not as if I'm stuck with lousy jeans… It's just that the fit, the feel, the details; everything just works out perfectly with the SExIH07.

[Guest]

Damn, Seul…you have quite a high end collection there. Especially the Samurai and Oni. After hearing this, I guess I had better stick with Iron Heart, lest I am disappointed with other "high end" brands.

If you knew how many pairs I sold and bought in 2009 (only to keep a couple I was 100 % satisfied with), you'd think I was crazy. EASILY 15-20 pairs… I bought about 5 pairs of Sams alone, just to give you an idea...  :-\

Seul:
Though I probably wouldn't go through all that effort myself, I'm impressed that you did. You're like me…if perfection exists, then you're not happy with clothes that don't meet the ideal.

Wow, that's a high turnover. Costly learning fee for the trial and error there. Like Shuba, I wouldn't go through that myself.

On the Evo site, the 634SR get worn every day these days. Seeing a little more color come off but not enough difference yet to post evo pics. Sorry.

634s

[Guest]

drz, the 634S look beautiful ! Mine look about the same as that.

That's funny…my girlfriend's cats are always rubbing against my IH stuff...jeans/shirts/jackets/bags...but only the IH stuff...

[drz]

thanks shuba, these shit gets better after each wash, I'm thinking of washing them weekly/bi-weekly

btw my cat used my 634s as its bed when he's like 1 month old, and started to gain fetish towards IH afterwards

[Guest]

drz – really ? I thought the holy grail was  to not wash often ! I've only washed my 634S about 3 times. But I agree, seems that after a wash -- the jeans look even more "evolved".

[Seul]

Machine washing your jeans wears them out a lot more than not washing them… Evo goes faster, but the 'life expectancy' of your jeans is shortened as well.

[drz]

I don't really give the jeans special treatment regarding washing frequency, just trying to wear them hard and wash them when i'd like to. And if they turn out to be holy-grail material then I'm thinking it as a bonus of wearing an already great jeans in the first place

[DougNg]

I have a pair of Imperials with a vintage finish after washing them weekly for a year. It all depends on what you want. If you want a high contrast fade, then never wash them. If you want a vintage fade, wash them more frequently

I personally don't care enough to do one or another. If they're feeling grody, I'm washing them. That being said, I hand wash, not machine wash.

I'll probably wash my SEXIH07 this weekend, which I'm sure people will be gasping about.

[DougNg]

Oh, and I've washed my 634SR's pretty much weekly at this point, the color is holding up well, but they're not standing on their own anymore
