Mike in Pittsburgh, PA eats, sleeps, and breathes raw denim and he has the Iron Heart 634XHSib to prove it. Well more like drinks, sleeps, and travels in them, but you get the point. For 14 months straight, Mike wore these 25 oz. monsters every day until they got too big for him. Thankfully he carved enough fades into them before he shed the pounds.

Spurred along by 3 soaks and just as many washes, these jeans aren’t exactly bright but glow with a deeply saturated blue hue thanks to the denim’s indigo warp and reactive dyed black weft. The fade lines themselves have this airbrushed look to them which perfectly pops against the inky back drop. But for me, the best part about these jeans are the ridiculously high whiskers. Sitting directly below the top button, the top example simply couldn’t go higher.
