LMFAO. This perfectly encompasses the title to this thread! 

If I had known about the fading benefits of tumble drying, I wouldve done it much sooner to my older pairs.

Too much mysticism over washing/drying may actually prevent cool fades. Train tracks > Combs IMO but youve got both on those pair @BrownMetallic

Thanks for sharing. 

The Flat Head experience you had is enviable.

Not correct. They do have a new sanforized 18oz denim, but it's a totally different denim. 

I thought Giles mentioned the regular 18oz undergo "light sanforization" in order to stabilize shrinkage. 

IH tends to sanforize or prewash most of their denim which kinda kills it for me.

Great denim evo seen here j0el2

Thanks Ruedi!

I wish i could say the same about my photography... this pair looks better in person.

I have some more IH gear evo'd I'll post with hopefully higher resolution pics.

I wore these IHxBBXRAW for a little over a year before getting into the habit of washing at least bi-weekly.

This denim now comes sanforized correct? Would like a larger pair some day, too bad the BB cut is gone.

I've thought a few times about getting those, cool to see a faded pair. Generally I crave another 14,5oz pair, too bad that the 660 is not available anymore. My 800 in 34 was too snug lately, but as they don't do a 35 I think a 36 would be too big.

These jeans have the nicest details and denim Ive bought so far. Id recommend picking em up if you ever want more banner denim.

The cut was a bit slimmer than listed on their site although the waist is on the larger size so sizing up to a 36 mightve been kinda sloppy.

Im craving a some 14.5 oz denim so my next pick up is the DD 1945.
