@Oaktavia cheers! Yes, I do love these jeans! And also, they're holding up really well! I wouldn't be surprised if I'm still wearing them in another 5 years. In any case, I'll keep you updated.

@Oaktavia Looking forward to your five year update in November 2029!

LOL, me too! Cool you're starting on a new XHSib! They're so much fun to fade.

They really are the best.

More an evolution of materials/production than aging or patina, I thought it would be cool to compare a few of my different IH flannels. New 11oz, aspero, and slubby.

@WhiskeySandwich shoulda thrown my 9oz in too, that’s a different thing completely.

18oz vintage cpo and 21oz 888

We really are nerds!!

@WhiskeySandwich Any stats on the 21 oz? Washes / wears / etc? I too have the unmodified type iii 21 oz. and I find myself getting impatient with its slow fading.

@Lowlander The best faded 555-XHSib here.

@Lowlander Those are perfect.

@indigostiff yeah man, 86 wears and 2 washes. They started super slow but they’re picking up pace. The light from the window makes them look way lighter than they are but my shirt there only has like 30 wears so pretty new and unfaded, but shows a pretty good difference in color

Iron Heart 666 XHS

Sorry for the low-quality pic. It’s been hand-washed once, around month 8 or 9. Now it’s in month 10, and I wear it every day as my motorcycle armor during the week for my commute
