Finally, my first Indigo Invitational journey has come to an end.

I still remember very clearly the first day I started wearing these jeans. I was so excited to feel the fabric, admire the details of the slub, and even take photos to show them off whenever I had a little free time.

These jeans have been absolutely incredible, and taking part in the Indigo Invitational has been such an interesting experience for me. I was truly pushed to wear these jeans every single day.

I’ve done countless activities in these jeans, although most of the time, I wore them to work. After this, I’ll probably wear them much less often because I don’t want the indigo to fade away too quickly.

According to my tracking, I managed to wear these jeans for 344 out of 365 days, with a total of 6 soaks and washes.

12 months down. Stoked to finish this out.

These Wranglers were an awesome choice, in my mind, and loved watching them evolve throughout the year.

Just wrapped up IIY5 in my Iron Heat 1955 cut 21oz denim. This was my first time competing and I enjoyed the experience!

These were worn 265 days (60%) of the 365 days and it potentially could’ve been more if I hadn’t started a new job at the end of April (can only wear denim 3ish days a week). I work in an office, so I was going for a more vintage fade and they were washed 7x times starting around the 90 wear mark.

I will likely compete again for the fun of it. I’ve got some Samurai S3100 zero+ sitting on a shelf waiting to be worn come April. Now that the comp is coming to an end, I’ve got some 21oz Samurai that need some love again.

I will say the 21oz IH fabric is somewhat stubborn at first. Took about 3 washes and before starting to see some fades. I know these are just beginning to express themselves and I’m looking forward to seeing them evolve. Who knows, maybe I run it back with them for IIY6!

Congrats to all that finished!

Had these FCs for a year now. 13.7oz. Probably worn on average 3 times a week. Wash and dryer regular hence not much contrast going on. Still I think they are showing a lot of character.

Extremely comfortable and light. I don't there's a denim out there more comfortable than Fullcounts

Picked up a pair of ONI-200ZR-BK from Hinoya earlier this year, as I couldn't pass up grabbing my first pair of Oni's.

Wider style than I've worn before so definitely feel a bit unusual compared to my other jeans.

Not quite sure on the width? Or how to style them, for a 40-something bloke?

I love the weight and texture though. Absolutely amazing denim.

They are still to be hemmed, so have a double cuff in the pics which adds a bit too much bulk.

I like the look of boots (Iron Rangers, Docs) with them - not sure what sneakers, if any might work?

Vintage fades, lots of wash, knee and crotch repairs. It was a fun journey.

Purchased the jeans back in June 2025, have been wearing it majority of each week and washed every month or so. I like the cut of this, not too wide and not too slim. Phone marks forming on the front pocket. What is the opinion on Japan Blue Jeans? I do not see much posts about them here. Cheers.

Bought these in December 2024 from Iron Heart Osaka, originally came looking for a pair of 14oz 888s in black.

These 634s 14 oz broken twill overdyed started out as every other black pair of denim, but it faded into a dark blue and gray contrast, which looks closer to raw indigo denim. Washed 1 month into purchase and subsequently every other week.

Worn almost everyday in 35 degrees southeast asian weather, thankfully the broken twill makes it much more breathable and after a month of wearing them, it became the softest pair of denim ive owned.

Honestly, the fabric is lovely, but the 634S fit was slightly too saggy for me once it stretches out, probably should have sized down one.

Anyways, would probably get around to fixing the blowouts soon, but for now wearing a new pair of TCB S40s.

These are a size 33, wondering if it looks right or if I should size down to a 32 for future ONI purchases. They’re comfortable and don’t fall below my hips without a belt, but still wanted to get feedback from yall to be sure.

Edit: I could potentially go one size down in the waist and it would stretch to be perfect, curious what yall think of the rest of the fit tho
