  1. definitely soak first. I got my DC4001 hemmed at Blue Owl and they even went out of there way to find thicker stitching that complimented the same material used for the rest of the stitching on the jean. Cant go wrong! Jay is the man!

    My 710s are on the way. Stoked. Need to get them hemmed though. I might take them down to Blue Owl in Seattle to get them chain-stitched along with my PBJ xx007. How much additional length should I leave for post-soak/wash shrinkage? 2inches?
  2. On the beatle buster (via beatle): The cut - I wanted something slightly more fitted in the top block and the thighs compared to the 634s - plus a slightly more tapered leg opening.

    DC4001 is not based on the 634s at all. Lower rise, smaller thigh, straight leg, bigger leg opening.

    Not trying to argue at all... but there isn't a thing that makes the DC4001 a slimmed down version of the 634s.

    Oh ok, so the leg opening on the DC 4001 is bigger than that of the 634s? I own both and I guess I'm just crazy but it seems the leg opening on the DC 4001 is at most the same but seems smaller than the 634s. Either way, I guess actual measurements sound much better than "how they seem" haha.

  3. ....kinda.

    The new Beatle Buster takes the 634s silhouette and slims it down.

    As for the DC4001.. the top block is slimmer than the 634s, while from the knee down it has a ton more room.

    Not more room than the 634s, all the DC4001 really is, is a slimmer leg version of the 634s in a lower rise and still straight leg. The BB would be the way to go if you wanted a slimmer and tapered leg opening (with an even smaller top block than the DC 4001). I would recommend heading over to Iron Heart.co.uk's site to check their measurements. They also have a ton of fit pictures if you continue on to their forum:

  4. Thanks max :) the only thing that is stopping me from buying these is the waist.. I think the reason I am not into my flatheads is because the inseam is long which makes them appear baggier than they are. And the 634s is not very skinny, but the measurements on them are a bit simmer than my flat heads.

    If I could get the inseam shortened on the flat heads I would but the only problem is that I want a good job done, I don't want to pay a lot, and seeming how I'm not going to be going to SoHo in a while it just isn't worth it to pay for the shipping to send them there, then pay more money to have the inseam shortened. But, I'm still looking so if I find a different deal I'm taking it.

    The IH DC4001s are a slimmer version of the 634s that you may want to consider. Plus they're a lower rise fit too and have insane details!

  5. Just got my DC4001s which immediately became the best fitting and one of the best detailed pair of jeans I have ever bought! I have a new size 33" x 34" never worn if anyone is interested (can find them in Supermarket) which i'm selling for $300 ($100 off since they're hemmed to 34").

  6. i received my pair of dc4001s yesterday, and i have to say i'm pretty baffled by the quality of these jeans. i now fully understand why iron heart has such a hardcore share of fans

    i'll post fit pics and stuff as soon as i get my dslr back

    I completely agree with you. I bought a pair of the 4001s (unfortunately too small) and loved how the selvedge fly opens up into the stitching.... plus all the other details as well.

  7. I brought home the IHSH-35 last saturday and after two days wear I already had to re-sew three buttons. No big deal but this caught me by surprise from an IH product :confused:

    whoa! that seems unusual? where'd you buy it?
