Is that indigo overdyed black?

Hey! I don't browse the sub often but yes this is an Overdyed piece.

About a year and and some change on this jacket. Did a second soak, it's getting noticeably lighter, doing overdyed things. I think I'll put a couple more months on this because I'm starting to see signs of needing repairs on parts of the fades. 

Some old stuff, haven't been around. Spent the weekend in SF while picking up some goods from SE. 18oz IH se OD  633 14 double black 3s x se collab tee

What I "WAS" wearing. Trip to Tahoe city for a friends birthday, friend took some candid pictures.

Thought I'd post a Post wash of my Iron Heart OD. Got a new pin (thanks SESF team) , sent my 633's in for proper repair ( my home repairs started falling apart)  And also got the chance to meet the man himself, Kiya.

Super cool dude, was really nice to finally meet, talk cool clothes, denim, yo-yo's, knives, and most importantly talk printers and copiers. Rollers son.

Also it's just super nice to come hang out and chat it up.

Does anyone have experience with the 18oz OD denim? I bot some 301s from the SE warehouse sale. I have some old 21oz 301s in 33 that are loose on me now even when coming fresh out of a hot wash so I went with 31 on these expecting them to be tight and stretch to perfect size. When I got them I could barely get them on, after a couple hours wearing them around the house I could button them all the way. Today is day 2 and I could button them all the way much easier than yesterday and do some light squats/lunges. They are still too tight but based on rate of progress thus far I am feeling ok about them? From the description it seems that the overdying process inflicts max shrinkage so I am hopeful that means I can get some more stretch out of them.. I can post some fit pics later but curious if anyone else has experience with this denim as a quick skim of this thread didn't turn up much.

Edit: added pics, forgive horrible editing - lighting is poor so i cranked the exposure so show the fit better.

These look MEGA tight, they will definitely not stretch out two sizes, max you're going to get is around 0.5-1" in the waist and thighs. Seeing is that you cannot return these, I would look into selling your pair and sizing up into something else, but seeing is that OD stuff is hard to come by it will be extremely hard to find someone selling 33+ 8301sod's.

I don’t wear anything else besides different tees. (Post soak on the jacket with a couple of pics)

Jacket will be getting its first soak this weekend also. Excited to see how it looks after a handful of months of solid wear.

Just some pics I snapped after a wash on my 633's I need to take these to SE and get them properly repaired. Tears were happening under previous repairs I had done, as I suspected since it was my first time messing around darning. Also wanted to take pics of my jacket too (IHxSE 18z OD), starting to see a lot more noticeable fading after a couple of months. I stopped wearing my 3s OD in favor of this and it doesn't disappoint. I think by the end of the year i'll give it a proper wash and see what it looks like after.

Finally got a chance to wear my new pair. Posted deets in the IH thread.

So Im planning to make a trip to SE at the end of the month since I saw they dropped the 8301s. I was in the market for some new jeans and I was just going to get them instore, couldn't wait ordered them online and they just came in today. These things are so sick. Also I think this is the sickest collab patch from them by far. Gonna try to get some fit pics tomorrow after work and see how these fit. I compared the measurements to the 633 but these look like they have more taper. Also big props for the sticker, I don't know if my 633's came with one when I got them.

Looks like I'll be stopping by next weekend to cop some sbgs. 

The long awaited restock on that OD jacket! Plus that patch is so rad. Good stuff.

Good stuff @Neilltheone! Did you get much stretch out of your 633 14bb? I just picked up a pair and I'm curious as to what to expect.

Quick fit pic of my 633 14bb. I was in between sizes and went with the larger size (size 33) for more comfort. Pretty happy with the fit.

 

 

Hey! I didn't get that much stretch out of mine. Maybe 0.5 or so? Mostly in the waist, and the thigh. Other than that nothing too crazy or alarming. Fit looks good. 

A little pickup I made last week. My personal holy grail jacket. SEXIH07IIIBK2 ( modified type III 18oz od)
Snagged this for a great price. I've been waiting for a restock of this jacket for about two years now. I got info from Kiya they there was going to be a restock of these this year (22) so I had my hopes up from 2021 as this was pretty much my final piece that I was looking for in terms of jackets. So every now and then I'd browse around and see if someone had one second hand they were selling but I don't see a lot of these around.  I managed to get this from someone on discord. It was definitely worn but not too crazy. But anyways, I'm in love with this jacket. The search for this jacket made it all that much better when I finally got it. Fits amazing too, way better than my Caustic wave OD. 

So my iron hearts had starting signs of a crotch blowout and I did a little home repair. This is my very first time repairing denim and I was a little hesitant about doing so but after the results I’m very satisfied. 
 
here are some pictures of the repair (I don’t have before pics sorry.)

three spots, two on the seam and one smaller one towards the back. After doing this I threw these in the wash. 
 

these have about 10 months or so of extreme religious wear. 1 wash 2 soaks. IHxSE 633 14bb 

Oh also, side note I picked up my holy grail jacket on Friday second hand. A lightly worn ihse od type III 18oz in my size. I’m beyond stoked. I’ve been waiting for a restock on these for a couple of years now. 

Anyone here?! Haha. I recently did a first soak on my caustic wave overdye. And took some pics in light and I have to say I wore the hell out of this thing for 6 months straight and it looks like this is going to be a stubborn fader for sure but I’m excited to see how this turns out.Here’s some pictures. 

Just showing off the pins. Self edge x good art shop pin and my 3sixteen NY pin.

there was tons of dye loss when I soaked and some of it got onto the patch. Pattern looks kinda cool.

My buddy let me try on his IH OD, been lusting after this jacket for a couple years. Last pic is a comparison between my 3sixteen caustic wave od and the iron heart OD

Pretty sure the banners were for retailers only

That’s unfortunate to hear, I suspected as much. 

I'm curious, does anyone know if Iron Heart ever sold denim banners to the public? I see pictures of them on the internet floating around and wondered if they ever had them for sale of if they were sent to retailers only.

Oni Kiwami Type III modified. (First batch of the jackets)

Extremely (kiwami)  unique fabric. Jacket was worn religiously for a year. 2 soaks and one wash. 

Before my wash unless you looked up close you won't see the details of the fabric it really just looked like a regular indigo jacket. 

Super cool piece! And very cool fades.
