Hello Guys,

 

I've got a couple pairs that I haven't posted about in a while so I put some time aside to snap some photos.

 

This first piece is a pair of Iron Heart 634 XHS (25oz)

 

I wore these super hard throughout my senior year of high school; skate boarding everyday, biking, hiking in the rain, where ever.

The story: I had some friends who were into raw denim and at first I opposed the whole lifestyle because at the time as i couldn't justify the price and I actually thought the whole heavy weight thing was whack and weird (obviously that didn't stick). So my curiosity got to me and I bought a pair of STF 501's and I wore those for about a year. Then out of no where an opportunity came up to buy a pair of Iron Heart's for a slight discount. Turns out a friend of mine at the time had this exact pair on ice BNWT but he had a hard time selling it as it's hemmed 32. So i saved up all my lunch money every week until I had the means to buy them (i starved haha). Finally I bought them then a year and three quarters worth of intense hard wear passes and they look like this.

 

Currently they're hanging in my closet and don't get too much wear as they are starting to fall apart. I sent them to Rain when she was still at SESF and she did an amazing job, but the continual wear caused more damage in the knee and seat. If i wear these out and skate then my ass will be hanging out in a matter of minutes haha. Maybe one day these will be back in action, but for now they're more of a reminder of my high school days.

There's the damage on the seat / cheek area +some of the intense work Rain did on the right pocket and the crotch area

 

 

Yup crotch blow outs for days...

Amazing dude. Good joob

These don't get much love, but they are reaching their 1 year mark so I thought I'd post them up:

SDA 307 about 7 months of active wear:

Fit picks are probably the most true to color. Anyway, these have been relegated to my sometimes pants (my wife likes the tight fit more than my TCBs or my other SDAs, so I indulge her). They get washed just about whenever we are doing the wash, so maybe every 2-3 wears. I really love this fabric, it has amazing texture and stands up to frequent washing really well.

Here are some pictures of my standard 1108.

 

Bought them slightly worn, around 3 years ago.

 

 

 

Easily the most comfortable denim I have worn. In comparison, the 15.5oz denim used on the BiG contest run has a coarse hand and is much less pliable. Both excellent denim and hold onto the indigo stubbornly, which gives the subtle fades seen on the 1108. Love how these decay, the arcs, the patch, the stitching at the pockets. A fine example of why all good things should fall apart.
