The retirement home is a thread for folks to post their past IH jeans, which may have fallen out of rotation, been beaten to death, or are just at the end of their useful life.
By nature of the Denim Championship contests my own wear is 48 month cyclical mostly, these first two are from the last 2 contests. Whilst they aren't anywhere near as destroyed as some of the contestants, these pairs are now firmly in the retirement home, still loved but barely ever seeing the light of day.
First up the original MBB (Mega Beatle Buster), made for the HWDC2 from Iron Hearts 25oz Denim. This denim has strong vertical fading properties, wears in like sweat pants and is ridiculously comfortable after the initial pain.


Next up is the Iron Heart DWC x UHR, made from from the 21/23 ultra heavy raw denim. Incredible fading properties in general, this denim is hairy with a beautiful blue hew when new and then fades with stark contrasts all the way through.


That's me done, let's see your former, heavily worn, favourites out in the daylight again.
