My IH rotation has gotten pretty deep—time to actually fade something. My first time competing.

Mine was fading to white in some high friction areas this fall. Now that I’ve started wearing my lefty trucker jacket the shirt is absorbing indigo!
I’m a dnd fanatic It will be my new dice bag.
ok FOMO got me--I totally caved and ordered this bad boy from Self Edge, should arrive Monday! I've scoured this thread and I think I know what I'm getting into. @Oaktavia, @Kasi , and @Jcaz6996 I've seen many of your posts, value your opinions, and find your fade pics inspirational. This jacket is going to be my Everest I think and I look forward to the challenge: ) If the sizing is what I think, I should be able to wear it essentially like a shirt but then still layer it with some of my more tight-fitted hoodies. I'm committed to giving it the wear it deserves.
Here's my first photo on the new forum! I love this CPO. I wore it for the birth of my son last year when it was new. It will always be a special piece for me!
Here’s my Lefty. Weather has been warm but it’s such an epic jacket. Im 6’3 190 and this 2XL fits me just how I like ( usually I’ll layer but too warm now).
Been wearing it more like a shirt around the house and finally got the buttons done up today so I took a few snaps.
Love the fades on yours @Kasi
@Kasi Yeah, there has been a couple of Giles' fades that have pushed me over the edge to purchase, for example, the 18 oz vintage he wore to perfection. @AdamC my hats off to you for going up against him!!
The 21/23 is some of the coolest denim ever. You nailed the fit @stichdown-shell !!
OK, I have to gush for a minute on this fannel, my very first UHF that I received a few days ago. I discovered Iron Heart in 2020 and upgraded all my jeans, vests, and denim shirts from the usual offenders (Levis...etc) as I slipped down the denim head rabbit hole. I adore fannels and have had a brand that I liked for years: a 75USD price point, cool patterns, tall fit with longer sleeves, polyester blend, and in fact, a nice brand ethos--but there's only so much you can do at that price point.
I always admired UHFs from afar, read every thread on the forum, and thought often: they can't really be that good...right? There's no way...
Thanks in many ways to the forum I've learned a great deal about garment construction since 2020 and it was very interesting to nerd-out and closely compare the construction of my old go-to flannel shirts to this UHF. Talk about two ends of the quality spectrum! The brushed cotton, the solid heavy-weight construction, the stitching, and so on are so top tier I completely understand the reputation these UHFs get now.
I went from 'they really can't be that good' to 'why the fuck didn't I get one sooner' so fast it broke the sound barrier.
Looking forward to many wears in this comfy bad boy. Guess it's time to gift, donate, and sell some of my old flannels : )
Keep doing these vids
Love hearing about the new stuff
You can just tell there are epic combs to come ️️
That is a lovely color combo!!
@Oaktavia appreciate ya taken the bullet for me brother
Can’t wait until this releases—@Oaktavia im telling my wife it’s your fault I am buying this because your fades on this are beyond excellent lol
The boat was his only escape !! that, or he’s secretly planning to start the iron heart navy on top of the iron heart army
Maybe one day : ) Be nice to meet some fellow denim nerds!
Looks like another good time in the works--wish there was something like this in Canada!
