Overdying - Overdone or All Day?!
-
Just a thought to those who say od is too common nowadays (I also like exclusivity!): Have you ever met another person wearing anything by IH (no planned meet-ups)? I only did once. And then I'm happy and might talk to that person and share experience. The chances that I meet too many people in od and thus may loose my interest on it are 0%. Internet is not real life. Period.
And I'd be happy if every new model or denim came out in od, as it increases the variety of models without much trouble. It's up to me to decide then wether to go black or blue.

I was going to add my two cents, but Max Power is a wise, wise man.

I like the overdye. Give me more. I was never a fan of light blue–in fact, when the jeans get to the light blue I cut them into shorts or just don't wear them--so anything slowing down the process of getting to light blue (such as not buying indigo jeans at all), or no blue, but something else--brown, green, ivory--is good. Over the years I've had a number of black jeans, only one of those old brands (Levi, LL Bean, Wranglet, Diamond, etc) faded from black, an old pair of Lee's (from the early 80s?) to a sort of muddy charcoal. Not sure the dyeing process on those, but they are cool, and I wear them sparingly now.

Clarifying.
Maybe OD is not the answer, but some other color fading (or not fading) to something that's not light blue, beyond what Levi's makes, would be nice. -
I like the OD but I prefer the feel of the unODed denim, there is definitely a different hand to the denim on the OD denim (and stretches more readily IMO).
OD does nap nicely though.

I have never seen a pair of iron hearts I would call light blue
Yeah, well that's the good thing about them and why I'm here. Although the first pairs I bought were black and black OD. On the other hand, I do own a pair of 2nd hand 461 that is on its way to medium. The last thing that looked good in light blue to me might have been a stewardess circa 1969.

I remember buying the 634 od in roughly 2013 and there being almost no evo pics as it seemed to be generally unpopular as a denim.
Super glad that it has caught on more as it is still to this day my absolute favourite! Closely followed by the double indigo.
