These are my 34” 19oz Left Hand Twill Jeans which have been worn hard for exactly two months. The whiskers and other areas are showing the beginning of fades. These have one soak and no washes. I think if they were washed or soaked the denim would soften up but the vertical fades have developed. I recommend these.

Wow !! these look gorgeous, I just got mine two days ago and man that top button is wicked but I'm working on it and contemplating a soak then wear damp. My first pair of IH's !! Stoked !!

Very nice !! I can't wait to see how these are fading !!

What's the difference in terms of fading and maybe some details between these and the SBG's ?
thanks so much, it seems I'm torn and confused, I'll also look again

@Steve:

The Man in Black’ is again the inspiration for this black denim western shirt, AKA ‘The Johnny Cash lll’. The 12oz black selvedge denim has reactive dyed warp and weft so that the shirt will retain its stealth look and will not fade with wear.

We have decided that the fabric has probably been subtly changed on these without anyone telling us. We do not find this shirt fades with time, even a little bit (of course it ages, but does not fade). We have updated the product to reflect this.

Thanks so much for this beta as this was exactly what I was wondering : does this shirt fade at all?
Just put mine back on and I see neary a fade anyway after 2 years of intermittent albeit not enough wear       
cheers, Shan

cool for sure ! Think we're about the same size, I'm 5'10", 185lbs., waist 36", like my jeans hemmed to 34" but cuff

I'm a nut and always sit in a hot tub (not a hottub) for 22 mins.or more, moving my legs a bunch yet not bend the knees too much,  with all my other brands non-washed, loomstate, shrink to fit denim.
Then, a slight towel dry whilst wearing them, over to the computer to do some work, seated, knees only slightly bent, then go for a walk, wear them all day until they are dried /molded on me ! Now that I've got a bike Usually go for a ride too, dries them nicely.
I pay attention to the pre-soak measurements as this seems what they will stretch back out to.
This crazy way has given me the best fits for sure !!
For what it's worth

Anyone know the best way to clean the squashed bugs off this jacket (from motorcycling ) ?
I was thinking hang in the sun bit , brush off, possibly saddle soap on a warm wet cloth ? idk
thanks much mates
Patrick

oh damn !! these are of course beautiful !!
Mine are shipped !!

Wow !! Idon't know if I can resist these.
I'd love to see some fade pics of some pairs.
Have a pair of 634 OD, and the fabric is like velvet and just now finally showing that bluish black coloring the thighs.
The other problem would be I probably would wear these more than the 634's (a more relaxed fit) once I get them, and my poor 634's that are just starting to look incredible wouldd sit neglected lol
anyways, cheers ya'll, it'll be a tough decision also as I have yet to have the classic 21 oz indigo in the 555, my fave fit, I have the 25oz though in the 25oz ib…
thanks

Cool, I hear you loud and clear ! thanks as always !!

I'm almost tempted to go down a size to Large to shorten up the sleeves but then the front length, and waist might be too short and tight.
I guess cause it's one washed there's some potential to shrink with a hot wash and dryer treatment and I'll stick with the usual XL size.
I wish the buttons were a wee bit bigger as these old fingers aren't getting any less arthritic lol
