PIH5DCT - 25oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Denim Tapered Cut

[Fadez]

Damn. Those are some great fades. I need to either get skinny or move my pair on. They have so much potential. 500 wears and still so much indigo left. Well done @beef_bonanza

[DeeDee85]

@beef_bonanza amazing!!

[beef_bonanza]

Thank you so much all. @Fadez yes, the indigo saturation is the really special thing about them. Combined with the fabric not being prone to rips and other damages, they fade with insane contrast while other areas are still looking brand new. Can't wait to push them further. Especially as there a pictures of pairs with much stronger fading than mine out there

[T4920]

@beef_bonanza intrigued to see these fades that are supposedly better than you.. I didn't think that was possible!

[beef_bonanza]

@T4920 go to post 706 of this thread. @Brock did an insane job there in no time:-)
Of course I am trying to make it up during the next 500 days...

[beef_bonanza]

Decided to give them another 40 degree Celsius wash after 518 days. Not a big change but the colors and contrast seem to be a bit more flashy now

[Oaktavia]

@beef_bonanza yeah man the change looks crisp and clean. I really wish IH would do more colored arcs.

[beef_bonanza]

Yeah…crisp and clean is actually the right description. Normally I am not a fan of poppy arcs but the white-light blue ones here seem interesting. Because I think I can make them disappear by fading the surrounding fabric to a similar tone. I really enjoy this fading process. Especially as I have tonal arcs on other pairs and the evolution is the other way round there

Wearing them daily lately. While summer was quite sweaty, I almost forgot that they are ridiculously comfortably as soon as the temps drop down. Especially considering the slimish fit and the 25oz….

[beef_bonanza]

Gave them their 5th machine wash and few repairs lately. Almost 600 days down. I am sure they will easily last for 1000 days.

[Kasi]

for ever

[beef_bonanza]

660 days down.

[Fadez]

@beef_bonanza need full shots at 666 You are living my dream. I wish I sized up on these so bad. Can’t wait to see your 1000 days. I think it’ll be one of the top pairs ever. Keep the updates coming!!!

[beef_bonanza]

@Fadez Thank you so much mate. Keeps me motivated for the remaining year. Although they are great fun to wear everyday. Great idea to archive the status at 666

[AdamJ]

@beef_bonanza awesome, legendary denim this. I can clearly recall around the time I started working at IH, picking a pair up and saying something along the lines of "holy shit"

[Jett129]

Wearing mine as we speak. In my opinion the single best denim made in the history of mankind.

[beef_bonanza]

@Jett129 Yeah. Wearing them too right now and indeed it‘s hard to beat that. If I could re-choose, I would most likely go for a slightly wider fit with 25oz
@AdamJ Indeed. This is what I thought too after receiving them. They seemed almost as dark as black and completely unforgivingly to beginn with. Unbelievable that I consider them really comfortable by now

[denim-dawg]

@beef_bonanza You are wild with your jeans! Hoohooo ... and you really capture the fades with these photos!

[beef_bonanza]

Meanwhile I have 840 days down. While the front is holding up incredibly well, the backside is getting weaker in some areas.
Might have them repaired very soon to continue the wear journey.
