After first wash pictures
First of all, thanks for all of the comments on the post I made about washing it or not.🙏
Iron Heart 19oz left hand twill selvedge type III unwashed unsanforized denim jacket size 40 (large) IH-526L
I have been wearing it every single day, pretty much every single moment I have been awake, for the last 6 months. It has been taking a ton of abuse on my job as a electrician. Every day I have to squeeze myself into tight spaces to reach stuff, so it gets a lot of scrapes against concrete and drywall dust. I am also a huge Heavy metal fan, and this is my mosh pit armor🤘
To my nose it did not smell bad. But as per a suggestion I handed it to my female friend and simple asked "does this smell?" She gave it a sniff, wrinkled her nose a little, and then just said "yeah" in a very polite tone😂
