      LMFAOOO bro this is the best comment I got all month, I'm glad I could be a bad influence 😂😁 How are the Iron Hearts treating you? I've actually still yet to get my hands on one of those!

      @@AlejandroJomar i got the 888 and the 777 in 25oz. They are unreal. Denim heads are gonna hate me because i got mine for work and riding my motorcycle. The materials used are literally the best. Reminds me of heat straps jackets. The 777 are the way to go unless you are a bigger legged person or want them baggy. As for how they feel, it’s like wearing a fire hose or the thickest military bag. It’s comfortable yet you feel like you have some armor on. Iron heart sent them from the Uk to Colorado in 2 days. They are goated. Im glad i found your channel man! Got me wearing blazers n shit 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏💪🏽.

      @@Infamousjr719thank you so much my man I really appreciate that man I’m so hype I got you wearing blazers LMFAO 😭🙏🔥 But people been liking the new style or nah?? 👀 I definitely gotta get my hands on some Iron Hearts bro I’ve never really had anything wicked heavyweight like that. You got the 25oz stuff right? 👀 I have to check out their fits too because I definitely want a baggy fit. The thing with Iron Heart, which I know a lot of people like but is not 100% my thing, is that it fades so clean. Like REALLY clean. And that’s good for people who are new to this, but I want something more green and vintage. They’re formula is so clean, that it might be just a bit TOO clean for me if that makes sense 😂 Definitely need one of those regardless though!

      @@AlejandroJomar i felt the same way about the “clean” fades so the first thing i did was hot wash hot dryer 🫣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Went to work and got so much saw dust on em. I bought em. Im gonna wear the shit outta them. I have one pair im gonna try to keep nicer but people 50 years ago didn’t baby their stuff. They worked em hard and the ones that’s survived got to tell the truth on what was good and what wasn’t. Keep up the content bro. You’re blowing up!

    Thank you for the denim tips. Appreciate it greatly. I know Id make way more mistakes without your shared knowledge. Where can find the slip hangers you showed? Searched google and amazon and couldn't find any with the latch.

      @@Anthony_D_333they’re more of an even faded denim that is more akin to medium/lighter wash denim, kind of like old selvage Levis you’d find at a vintage shop 😁 A stark difference from high contrast faded denim which is usually more of a darker look with heavy light fades

    I have a question for you. When I starch my jeans and they get wet. Does that count as a soak? How does unsanforized denim have starch on them if they have never gotten wet because they will shrink when you get them wet? I always starch my jeans even though they were unsanforized and I never noticed them shrinking. The ingredients on the can say water. So I guess all the answers lead to more questions. Lol! Whats your take on starch and shrinking?

    Just bought a pair of sugar cane union star ( my first japanese jean) and they are sooo rich in blue now i’m learning how to treat them well even if it s a straight model and i dont cuff so fades are not going to be so strong

    did you make the bad fade lines deliberately for this video or were they past mistakes? if you did them just for the video you’re wild!! real shit for the content

    those "ugly vertical fades" come from washing in a machine with a spin cycle, not leaving them in the machine when it has finished.

    • @AlejandroJomar
      @AlejandroJomar  Рік тому

      Truthfully in my experience the spin cycle on low has always been fine for me. I only got these vertical line because I inadvertently left my jeans in the wash while I made a quick run to the grocery 🤦🏽‍♂️ I suppose a higher spin cycle would definitely cause them as well though
