The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

my guess would be APC. reason being that there aren't any faded back pocket folds you see on all N&F. for reference look at the bottom of the back pockets of the N&F a few posts above

[whackedout]

It's APC, was a x-post from the APC thread.

My Eternals 888 in the sunlight. I'm wearing them almost every day lately.

[poly800rock]

Ande Whall Grifters, got these august 2008. Worn everyday for like 2 years, currently I'm too fat for these. ~5 years of wear, STF cone mills denim. Some repairs from selfedge LA and railcar in Arcadia.

Great page, and JayW I can appreciate your dedication to your pair!

And on another note, Elephants continue to amaze me.

a couple years in on my PRPS Barracudas. Not sure how many people care about PRPS on here, but I love them. The fit, the color, the detailing...always been a fan.

you can say what you want, but both of the unsanforized IH denims (18oz, 21/23oz) fade better than their sanforized brothers

But this is due to the fact that they put a chemical to retard fading in the 21oz.

[xchen]

And for a sanforized denim the IH 21oz flagship denim fades pretty interestingly

[Megatron1505]

I think that as a general rule raw denim fades with sharper contrast than one washed, or sanforised. However, if quick sharp fadings are your thing then there are other brands to go to before Iron Heart, I would suggest Samurai or Flat Head for a start. If a more vintage wear is your thing then definitely look towards Iron Heart, with the obvious exception of their 18 and 21/23 raw denim.

Taking xchens point about the flagship 21oz denim, I would suggest that anyone tracks down some pics of Haraki's own 4 year old 634's, now that is vintage wear at its finest.

Wee bit of evo pics for my SG2105. 3-4 months of wear, 1 soak, 0 washes.

Finally had some time for pics... 26 months and maybe 10 washes or so. Haven't worn them much lately because the denim wasn't too heavy weight to begin with and rips and tears pop up almost every time I wear them. Brought them to the local shop to get them repaired countless number of times and didn't care too much for those 'high quality/seamless/as-if-it-was-never-there' repair jobs as I quite like the blemishes from a quick and easy repair job (and so does my wallet).

BURRO jeans jacket. Bought in London 2000. Been worn quite a lot the first 6 years. I am sadly to big for it now.

Edwin ED-49 approximately 6 months old no wash. Been changing between these and a pair of Nashvilles so he effective wear is a lot less.
