Q How will Ironheart jeans fade?

A Our denim is specially treated so that the indigo fades very slowly, this reults in fading with great contrast between the darker unworn parts of the jeans and the worn areas

if breaking in is your #1 priority then maybe you want to get Samurai's instead. Ironhearts are slightly thicker(21 vz 19oz) but I think that the Samurais are stiffer or harder because the Ironhearts are woven in a certain way so that they can be made as heavy as 21 oz.

The IronHearts, when new and unwashed, seem to be silicone-coated or something along those lines. This makes them *very* slow to fade by wear alone. I have a pair that are coming up to the 1-year mark in June -- I'll wash them then and see what happens.

The heaviest denim I ever heard of jeans being made from was a 23-oz model made by the (now defunct) firm of 'Canton'. I saw some for sale in a Japanese jeans forum for around 60,000 yen.
