Thanks so much 👍 I love the whole process having a New pair of Raw denim jeans breaking them into submission with lots of wear and being rewarded with beautiful fades. 😍
I still have a pair of Evis Lee jeans from 1992. They took over 15 years to fade and then another 5 before it went full fade out. Literally worn them every other day in London, then moved to Hong Kong.
Once again amazing work on those bad boys, hats down big time! The details are so beautiful on your pair. I have a pair of 25oz 777 IB amazing fabric, the first few times it almost forced me to use pliers to get the fly buttons done!
Cheers mate appreciate it 🙌 Definitely know the battle definitely tough to start of with but after plenty of wear becomes lovely and soft.. IB think is my favourite 👍 except great fades .
Thanks mate 👍 to be honest need to measure your best fitting pair of jeans and compare to the IH measurements on the website otherwise drop IH crew a email I’m sure there more then happy to pick out the perfect size for you 👍
Wow these are beautiful. Do you do the initial soak/wash they recommend with XHS. I have a pair ordered and I’m not sure I can bring myself to wash a new pair of jeans 🙃
Yes initial soak in the bath temperature around 40c need to remove the remaining shrinkage no need to turn them inside out and leave them for about 1hr then leave to drip dry. The UHR you need to do a initial soak then a wash in the machine.
Thanks for subscribing Gareth appreciate it 👍 No worries you’re going to have to weigh them down in the bath with a couple of glasses as they tend to float when you submerge them .
@@luvthefades no worries looking forward to what comes next and will do 👍🏻 I usually have to do that with other jeans when I give them a woolite soak too
My 777s 21oz are a similar tight fit and the mobility is a burden sometimes. Did you have mobility issues and did they eventually loosen up? Top block specifically not the waist.
25oz They can be a challenge wearing them in work I don’t make things easy for myself 😆 I haven’t noticed them to loosing up in the top block at all. Wearing them everyday you sort of get used to it. I’ve been wearing 21oz 555s-SBG to work for the last couple of weeks and they’re super comfortable no problems with movement was only last week when I decided to wear my XHS once again I noticed straight away struggle with mobility.
Depends if you’re putting them in the washing machine or washing in the bath . Definitely turn them inside out if you’re putting them in the machine no need to bother if you’re giving them a hand wash in the bath .
Yes bud 👍 I erect timber frame house so it’s reasonably clean apart from muddy sites. There’s another company we work for we have to make the floor decks, loose joist then caberdeck 22mm flooring on top has to be glued with D4 glue now that shit is crazy so i literally wear waterproof trousers over the top of my jeans just to protect them 🤣
@@luvthefades been just crossing my fingers when wearing my wabash shirt while rolling floor lol. I have a few smears on it but the nice thing is they’re hard to notice.
I’m usually wearing a denim jacket the IH526L or 526L-OD so put my phone in the inside pocket I don’t carry a wallet 👍. Not keen on phone or wallet fades , thanks for subscribing appreciate it 👊
Totally agree it’s all about the journey and enjoying wearing them . I love the look of well faded denim that’s probably why I don’t tend to rotate pairs often and love to concentrate on a single pair , saying that I’m leaning more towards my IH-555s-SBG at the moment super black fades to grey..
My work requires a uniform so I wear my stuff in the evening and on weekends. It'll probably be a year or more before I wash them, especially if I wear lighter weight in the summer. It gets pretty hot where I live. Around 35 degrees for about 3 months and 30 degrees for 6 months. Jeans are difficult to wear during that time, much less 14 ounce or more in weight.
Thanks for your comment it’s definitely tough wearing heavy denim in the summer months wore my XHS though summer 22 in the UK got up to 32c that was a struggle 🥵 we just have 1 month of nice weather lol Would love 9 months 👍 mine are due a wash very soon .
I really love the way you put these vidoes together! Great stuff man.
Cheers mate 🙌 looking at getting a few things soon to hopefully improve my videos 👍
This is amazing. I like how ya gave us support getting through the break in process. Great vid.

😍
Can’t wait to start wearing my Iron Heart and SOSO denim. Denim looks amazing when faded
Sure does love how it settles and shapes to your body and the fades telling that story of the dedication. 🙌
@@luvthefades They look really nice

Wow 20 years wearing the same pair how have they survived?

Your fades are great, I can’t believe you only made it in the top 50 and not the top 10 at least.
Hi, I made it into the Top 16 the Top 10 will be announced at the end of the month 🤞
Never get tired seeing your faded 25oz XHS mate, i’m planning to get one myself and wearing tah size 33 on 21oz 555, should i size down?

hard to guess, mine will look like that around 350 days of wear, but I work on a computer. Judging from what work you do I guess 250 days?
Not too far out 👍 they were around 320 when I did this video . Cool to know working on a computer can produce fades at the same rate 🙌
Very nice fade
@@ZionismFailure Thank you 👍
Do you also wear your trucker jackets on site? I’ve considered it but I’m super worried to ruin a $500 denim jacket lol
Yes mate wear it everyday since January 👍
I’ll do a 3 month update video at the end of the month it’s starting to look great ..

How do you wash your jeans , I’m quite confused by all the different info I get 😅
My XHS are due a wash very soon so I’ll do a video this week washing your Raw denim jeans 👍
@@luvthefades thanks so much! Looking forward to it
Very nice and beautiful aging.
Thanks 👍appreciate your comment ..
Now do you guys turn them inside out when washing?
Depends if you’re putting them in the washing machine or washing in the bath . Definitely turn them inside out if you’re putting them in the machine no need to bother if you’re giving them a hand wash in the bath .
@@luvthefades gotcha, thanks I plan on using the washing machine. Apparently don't use spin cycle?
Turn inside out, soak them before hand and put in the machine 30c no spin .
Then drip dry 👍
How do you keep them so clean , I’m also a carpenter and takes me about 5 minutes until I get glue on them 😂
Yes bud 👍 I erect timber frame house so it’s reasonably clean apart from muddy sites.

where do you carry your phone and wallet?
I’m usually wearing a denim jacket the IH526L or 526L-OD so put my phone in the inside pocket I don’t carry a wallet 👍.
Not keen on phone or wallet fades , thanks for subscribing appreciate it 👊
excellent work great vid
Thanks appreciate your comment 👍👍
They are that stiff that they hold the shape of your body like that when you hang them??
When there New there stiff but with time and plenty of wear they become super soft and comfortable and shape to your body.
I don't see the rush to fades. they look very nice even when new. with time they build character.

@@luvthefades i like double indigo denim fades the most not alot of people really have pairs of them to show
how long until first wash?
I Gave them the first wash around 6months worth of wear 👍
How many washes at the end of the video?
358 wear days 1 initial soak and 2 washes in the machine 👍
