IH-817 - 16oz Deep Indigo Engineer Pants

[georgeel]

Maybe you are thinking that I've given up with these…
Nope.
As written in my signature, I continue to wear them 4 x 7 and wash them every 15 days.  They fade, I want to believe, but slowly. No sign of evolution detectable by a normal camera, at least.
Now it's a personal matter between me and them.

7th month.

if you think I've given up with these, you don't know me.
(but i'm beginning to suspect that f*ckin' IH-817 are tougher than me.
A friend had not seen for a while said to me: "how beautyful your NEW jeans are!")

Just started mine too. Should have gotten 32 instead of 33. But since its work pants, its ok.

Fabric seems very dense but very comfy to use.

[georgeel]

dunno if we can call it "evo", but I think there's something going on…

George..well done..keep at it….mine have been out of the rotation for a while....this fabric would make good pants....

[georgeel]

I persist.

[Giles]

Good man…...

[georgeel]

I'm getting closer to my goal. I really love fades in "permanent indigo" denim, when (and if) you can get them.

looking google Georgeel! Keep at it!

[georgeel]

I will. As you can see in my signature …

Very, very nice my man!!

I'm so envious of you, I wish I could get my tree trunk thighs into a pair of 817's!

Just got a pair of these in a 36" waist. I love these pants but would prefer to have them more tapered in the legs. Has anybody had success with a tailor on Iron Heart jeans in this regard? I don't care if the original thread color can't be used but I'm wondering if the 3 needle seam is re- sewable.

@georgeel how are your 817 evolving?

[georgeel]

Yes, they are.
But veeery sloooowly (an in a very special way),  even though I wear them 5/7 with absolute dedication.
Coming soon:  photographic records.

Something to look forward to!

– And here we are with the last edition...

I hope you're not disappointed, but these jeans really are a tough nut to crack. You cannot expect great contrast fadings, but only a slow solid, flat fading process.
I think I'm half way, my 817 are no longer new, but not yet broken in.
See ya at the next checkpoint!

@soymilk69  Could you please post fit pictures? I am also planning to go for size 31. Also, what is your weight and height? How snug or roomy are these in the thighs? Thanks!
