About a year and 5-6 months on my Self Edge Overdye, starting to see signs of needing repairs. I'll ride it out for a couple of months and see about getting it touched up.
About 2 soaks on the garment as of now.
Spent some time at a friends for his Birthday out in San Francisco.

Oni Kiwami Type 3 ( first batch not the remake) 1 year / 2 months ( 1 wash / 1 soak)
I haven't seen another faded example of this jacket, I've definitely seen them on the internet though.
The fabric is super cool close up a lot of attention to detail. I haven't worn this in ages though and sadly it's been on the back burner and I don't even think I'll touch any of my oni when I get my OD jacket. Just thought y'all would wanna see it.
Got quite a few pictures. One of my recent jacket pickups. And Showing off my 633's and some personal repair work I did.
My personal holy grail jacket. SEXIH07IIIBK2 ( Modified type 3 overdyed )
Been searching for about 2 years for this jacket and finally got my hands on one. It's worn a little but not too much. I think i'm going to stick with just my shop pin on this jacket. I'm working on a 3sixteen overdye jacket as we speak so this one is going on ice until I get my new pair of denim in the next couple of months.
My 633-14 double blacks. I've posted these up but I wanted to show some after wash pics and some repair work I did.
Showing off some whiskers and combs. This was the first wash, these were previously soaked around 5-6 months ago. I bought these back in march of '21. And I wear these every day.
There were 3 small holes, starting of a crotch blowout. I'm going to be blunt, I do not like the whole sashiko repair thing. I don't think it looks very good. With that said, other people can enjoy it but I decided to do a little darn work. This is my first time every repairing jeans myself. I have a little small sewing machine with a darning needle kit and I went to work. Not bad for my first job. Where the material that I darned over there were 3 holes starting on the seam where the stitching was falling apart. I would have sent these out to iron heart but these are the only pair of that i'm currently rocking, i'm not the type of dude to rotate. Also to clarify for expert sewers I did not pinch and lose fabric and the jeans sit the same.
@Jcaz6996 it’s the daily beater I just did a proper machine wash on it after a year and some change. I’m currently in the process of either looking for someone to tailor a jacket I have or look for another iron heart piece.

Took a Trip to SF to drop off some repairs with my buddy. Ended up copping their new se3s collab pizza tee. Super money.
I always make it a point if I'm stopping in the city to come by SE and chop it up with the workers, these dudes in SF are always nice and it's a good time talking about denim, and what's happening in the denim world.

2nd wash on my IH633-14 double blacks. I posted them a while back but I got some pictures with Decent natural light out here in sunny California. (1 year / 2 wash / 1 soak / couple of repairs)
Once again I had a couple of small little repairs, one of them was preventative as part of the bottom was fraying and starting a small hole. I darned up 2 of the holes to reinforce the fabric and this is my 2nd time repairing my own jeans. I would have sent these out for repair but I wanted to try my hand out in fixing them myself.
I'm very pleased with the 14oz fabric, it's lasted this long and for context I've been wearing these every single day for a year at minimum 5 days a week for work and the only repairs I've done were just at the 1 year mark and there was not a single crotch blowout and I wore these extremely hard. They are not too light, they feel pretty sturdy as an all-arounder pair. I'd recommend this to people who wanna give a shot at lighter oz denim.

I'm really not much of a drinker at all but I was out for my friends birthday at a brewery in Alameda called "Almanac" It's quite close to Self Edge SF. Had a blast, had a few people ask about denim there too but I spared them the details as it is quite a deep rabbit hole haha. Sorry for the bad quality on some of the pictures.
