These were my first pair of high-end raw denim. I got them as close to my true waist as I could (mistake). At first, the fit was almost perfect, but within a few days the waist stretched out almost two inches. I gave them a cold soak, which did nothing. I got desperate, and I soaked / dried them, following the instructions on the tab religiously, yet the hip flare remains. In the end, they were a 350 dollar lesson on sizing correctly. Since then, I've got a smaller pair in black that fit nicely, and I'd like to get these off my hands.

Indigo loss is minimal. They're still plenty dark, comparable to my month old Skulls. The only fading is on the back of the hem and the pocket rivets. The tag has suffered the most; it's indigo stained and hardened. It's still readable, but you might consider removing it.

If you're considering Ironheart, chances are you're a masochist, or at the least willing to suffer for a week. As a result of the soaking / drying, they've gone soft. These are almost comfortable enough to sleep in in their present condition. You could starch them if you wanted some hurt.

Note that there's a slight snus can fade on the right rear pocket. It's to catch with the naked eye; I missed it myself.
