Wearing jeans I made every day for a year (8.5 month update)
Worn all but 7 days of 2024 in the yearlong Indigo Invitational denim fading competition, I made these cone mills raw denim selvedge jeans entirely on my domestic 1951 singer 201-2 back in Dec 2023. Machine washed with a splash of bleach and machine dried them 22 times, roughly every week.5.

Sewing raw denim selvedge jeans to wear for a year (on a 1951 domestic Singer)
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Last year in y3 of the Indigo Invitational I wore a pair of Iron Heart IH 888s which I absolutely loved, but as a men's cut, I had to have them tailored a bit and the price range was out of budget a second time around so I used y4 as my ass-kick to finally design, draft and sew my own pair of jeans. I'm super happy with them overall and excited to see them progress over this year of wear! More ...
Denim knife unbox, Y3 Indigo Invitational spot prize: Lady Fader of the Year

Won this sick handmade knife from Heaton Knife Co as a spot prize in the Indigo Invitational raw denim fading competition (got Lady Fader of the Year!) and it has arrived. It's a little 80crv2 camp knife with a denim micarta handle and copper rivets/bolsters and it's just the cutest, coolest little knife. Beautiful details and workmanship - absolutely love it.

Raw denim jeans for a year, washing (drying?!) and fit tips for women
Просмотров 13 тыс.Год назад
I wore these 14oz (sanforized, one washed) men's Iron Heart 888 selvedge jeans almost every day for the year long Indigo Invitational fading competition. It was a great test in minimalism, reducing daily choices/consumerism and turned out to be one of the most delightful, motivating and community building experiences of my adult life. Worn 340-ish days of 365, machine washed and dried (15 minut...

    Before jeans wear thru in crotch area, cut new pieces for wear area that match the original shape even into seams. Add these inside with nice side toward outside of jeans. When the original layer wears thru, there is a nice new layer below. Thats how i like to do it. 😊

My dream is to one day make my own pair of jeans just like you did, can't say enough how inspiring it is to see such amazing work coming from someone so close to home!

    I'm not gonna toss them in the drier for fear of shrinking/marbling, but there's nothing wrong with washing weekly imo. Glad that we're all over the 1 year no wash, jeans in freezer thing. Nice pants!

    • @weartildead
      @weartildead 7 месяцев назад

      They definitely do shrink a bit this way (less if you dry them for a shorter timeframe and put on damp) but the towels like this really do a great job preventing marbling. Also glad there's a shift towards washing acceptability!

    First machine wash and dry for these jeans I made (from a few weeks ago, 30 days of wear) Here are my curated best practices, washing at least once every 2 weeks going forward for vintage fades: WASH Jeans inside out Machine wash hot Short cycle (15 minutes) Bleach in the holder Regular spin cycle Remove immediately DRY Jeans inside out Dry towel down each leg (prevents lines/marbling) Pin towels at center to hold better Extra towel thrown in Hot dryer, 20-30 minutes (til just under dry) Check towel positioning every 5 minutes Remove immediately Most sanforized fabric shrinks ~1-3%, I find much of the tightness loosens up again with wear. For the least amount of shrink, dry 10-15 and put on damp
