Wow. Awesome looking

Still trying to get evo on my IH overdyed type III. This doesn’t give up the fades easily, despite having it for awhile

I've had the same problem. I think I've had mine for 4 years now. I do have some fades happening, but honestly, if I knew it was gonna stay so almost but not quite black, I'd probably have just gone for a black IH type3.

Overdyed is a just a different thing altogether. I have a few pieces (not IH) overdyed and the fades will never be anything but more subtle. I really like them but I get that it's not what some are after. The white core the makes the higher contrast of denim fading usually seems like it's dyed pretty well through with a lot of overdye processes.

My first world problem is that I simply don’t wear mine enough as it’s relegated to Fall/Spring. I think washing it would definitely bring out the fades but I’m taking the wabi sabi approach. 
 

I also have the 21oz type III and that doesn’t get worn at all because I can’t get the damned buttons fastened lol

I was happy to sell IH 21oz type III because of the same problem, buttons. It seems that in the case of this type of jackets buttoning is not intended at all.

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.

Is that indigo overdyed black?

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

Three years of on and off use. Had to retire them and robocop a new pair as the knee blow out and crotch blow out were getting out of hand, otherwise I'd keep wearing them.

Wow such a powerful raw denim evo results!

They have seen a lot and deserve an eternal life for sure. I would love to see them in real some day.

XHS is still one of my favorite denims

Tokyo 2023

Bought a couple of things...

[Tapori]

The A2 deck jacket that's just dropped is bloody gorgeous.

Edit: I've got the N1 IHM-10 navy as my daily, & a new N1 IHM-35 khaki sitting in the closet. Must resist the A2.

Pizza Marumo was amazing!

New IHSH-370 is also amazing. A few wears in and it’s softened up considerably. 

[Neilltheone]

First time I'm posting pictures of my 8301 sbg's I got a couple of years back. Third wash on these. Two years of wear on these, I only see one spot on these where they need some repairs but these have held up really good. I've lost a considerable amount of weight since I got these so I might hang these up for awhile and get another cut, not sure what I want to get right now.

Thank you so much! I mostly only rock black or OD denim now because work has me in a uniform and I got the Go ahead from my boss to wear black jeans and I’ve taken a liking on how they look in comparison to indigo stuff. I definitely wanna try to work on an overdyed pair now that I’ve faded double black and these sbgs. 

[reallypeacedoff]

Been looking for a pair of Ducks to replace my OG Roy SE-DUCKS for a while. IH finally re-released the 888.

[Neilltheone]

Post wash, almost 3 years on both pieces. Jacket has gone through a couple of repairs through self edge and the jeans surprisingly have held up really well.

Thank you! I'm extremely satisfied how both of these came out. The jacket I was excited about the most. But the SBG's came out really nice as well.
