RE: IRON HEART WAYWT - 2025 EDITION
I've started experimenting with different fits. A year ago it was sharp tapers, and the 888 felt like a wide straight. I'm fully bought in now.

RE: IRON HEART WAYWT - 2025 EDITION
Second day in the UHRs. Cycled in them yesterday. They're probably too heavy for that. One thing I love about this denim is the drape. The weight really holds things together.

RE: IH-101J-SR - 18oz Selvedge Denim Storm Rider Jacket - Indigo
This jacket is a tank. Probably my favorite jacket behind the 101J.

RE: IHJ-123-OD - 14oz Broken Twill Selvedge Denim Work Jacket - Indigo Overdyed Black
Had to upload a pic after my second wash. Had for about ten months. Love this SBR OD. Was sad to see it go outlet.

RE: IHJ-140-IG - 19oz Selvedge Denim Type I Jacket - Indigo/Grey
Not quite at Oak level but it's coming along.
Love this jacket. Wish I would've picked up the 139 so I could see how this denim progresses without the grey weft.

Am I the only one?
All you Ironheads out there know the biggest problem we face - there's not enough time in the day to fade them all. You can double up or triple up. Create a rotation. The fact of the matter is there's only twenty four hours in a day. I realized I'm not fading anything while I'm sleeping. Completely dropped the ball on seven to nine hours of fade time. To make a long story short, I've been sleeping with my type iii 21oz for about two weeks. It's kind of embarrassing to admit.

RE: IH-634S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
@SKT I know Im dredging up old posts, but this is so true. Giles HoF pair convinced me to buy my first pair of IHs. It basically converted me to the brand. If I was married it would've led to a divorce at this point.

RE: IHJ-140-IG - 19oz Selvedge Denim Type I Jacket - Indigo/Grey
I've had low 20 temps and snow where I live so the 140 has taken a backseat to the 101j-SR. I manage to get a little wear in at home. I gave it a soak. I was going to wash it, but I tried a little agitation and it didn't want to give up any indigo so I figured a soak would do fine.

@Denimhead-0 I never thought I would say this, but this is almost too much cheese.

RE: Am I the only one?
@seawolf Vanity to some degree. A jacket is the first part of an outfit people notice. Imo, it's the core of a silhouette. They're the most flexible part of wardrobe. Shifting seamlessly between styles and outfits.

RE: Am I the only one?
@Jcaz6996 You're probably right. I think it helps set creases in the shoulders and torso. Afterwards, it wears more naturally to me, but it might be a placebo effect.
I could see a leather garment responding to it, though, The sheets brushing the leather, the heat activating the oils in the leather.

RE: Am I the only one?
@Mister_Brue Honestly, this is the main reason for doing it. At best, I suspect the actual fades are negligible. I think it does contribute to molding the denim to your body. I move a lot during my sleep. Sprawl my arms out. I think it helps in setting crease in the shoulders and sleeves.

RE: Am I the only one?
@mclaincausey For sure. I don't wear things that are clearly dirty, and I have a pretty liberal washing philosophy. I'm not sleeping in my front yard.

RE: Am I the only one?
@T4920 It's 21oz. It's not like denim with a dyed weft. You have to use every tool at your disposal to fade it.

RE: Am I the only one?
@Mizmazzle LOL. I almost added a bit about being single, but I thought it was obvious. They have to really love you if they'll suffer rubbing up against denim all night and getting indigo all over their pajamas.

RE: Am I the only one?
@seawolf Absolutely with you on this. I'm just as obsessive over the size of the wardrobe as I am wearing them. If I don't think I'm going to wear something I try not to make the purchase, but I love a nice jacket. I don't know what it is but they're my favorite part of any outfit. I hate to let a limited release sell out.

RE: Am I the only one?
@jerkules I keep the house about 10 degrees above freezing. It makes a top layer is quite nice. Bottoms are no-go. I have to be able to stretch my legs out.
