Over 900 days meanwhile. The indigo weft is living a life on its own.
I find it still superhard to take accurate pictures of overdyed stuff. Today, during sunset however worked well.
Also my plan to wear it all winter is going great. I use it as a top layer above a woolen sweater and deck vest on milder days, with a down vest on top on colder ones and sometimes even instead of a shirt inside.
Hard to fade, but I feel, I have cracked the bonding of the black dye a bit by now.

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.
@Asger-Ebdrup This looks great and seems to behave very similar to mine. Fading very slowly but when it happens, the fades look great🩵
Here is mine. I‘ll try to wear it all winter.
Maybe my favorite IH Jeans yet. Wearing only 1-2 a week due to other priorities in the rotation. But getting there.
Moving forward. Not as fast as the guys on the 19oz version, but I still love it.
Here‘s my gunpowder dyed Copeland.
Over 8 years old already. Used it as a jacket on an almost daily basis to start with.
As it shrank quite a bit during the washes, I use it as a wintershirt nowadays. Absolutely love it and it became incredibly soft and comfortable over time.
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….
New set of pictures. Still wearing it super frequently. Combs and „stacks“ seem to settle now which also shorten the sleeves quite signifiantly (which is a good thing)
Gave them their 4th wash after 431 days of wear. Somehow this time I ended up with marbling although I didn‘t change the washing routine too much. Maybe I used lower spins earlier Don‘t care too much to be frank as I think they will get less prominent with future wear and washes.
@Nostradamion Thanks man. To be frank the colour is really different depending on the light and camera settings and super hard to capture accurately. While I am not saying this wasn't a rather "blue" day, there are also days and light where it appears more like a dull black and even the fades show minimum blue tones. If you check my previous pictures on this thread you'll see what I mean. However, this is really cool about it and I cannot wait so see how it progresses further.
@Mizmazzle I think we are all heavily biased by wearing too much Iron Heart. A lot of high quality stuff from other brands seems light to us even though it's pretty substantial compared to the stuff 99% of people are buying on highstreet.
Thank you guys. @Mizmazzle I can confirm, the nice drapping and how ridiculously soft it is now. It‘s just THE perfect weight for a denim jacket. Funnily enough I got enough comments from non-Iron Heart people how heavy this jacket was
Moving forward. Not as fast as the guys on the 19oz version, but I still love it.
@FlavourFade @T4920 you both absolutely crushed it with this jacket. Can't wait to see the further progress.
@Oaktavia Thank you buddy. Lately I gave them two washes as I keep spilling stuff on it. So eventually the indigo is really reducing

Have worn them for almost 500 days by now.
Absolutely incredible and I am still debating with myself, if I should do the same to the SBG Type3 once the modified version comes out.
New set of pictures. Still wearing it super frequently. Combs and „stacks“ seem to settle now which also shorten the sleeves quite signifiantly (which is a good thing)
@Richard I have or had the same issue with the sleeve. More like 2 inches. I am sure you will lose this inch when the ellbowcombs have settled.
@northsouthdenimguy Thank you buddy. This denim is indeed very special and incredibly well made
