That sounds like my Iron Heart UHR.

These were easy, everything has been easy compared to those IH. That said, I enjoy the break-in.

The Oni's did shrink with the first wash, but stretched out by the third day. Without my belt they would be sagging.

Either way it's the 22oz NI. Looking forward to your thoughts after some wear. Really happy with mine.

LD - What cut did you get?

I received my 22oz 546ZR on Dec 22. I have worn them everyday since, except one day in my Samurai, and two days on the golf course.

I've done one wash, about 30 wears in, and just this week the whiskering is starting to show. This Natural Indigo holds on tight. Maybe the fades are showing because the last few days I've been walking through some steady rains.

Could they be the Corlection Full Count?

I think you're right about Zuriick.

Thank you Ben.

I forgot to mention the soles.

The Viberg 2045 have a corded sole.

Nick's is a Vibram 705 with a Vibram heel.

Viberg 310 is a Cat's Paw heel with a Vibram half sole I believe, been awhile since I've looked.

Sole-wise from a durability and comfort standpoint, I prefer the Nick's setup.

Durability alone, the corded sole on the Vibergs still looks new. I can't imagine ever having to re-sole.

Comfort, the Viberg 310 takes the cake, but that Cat's Paw heel wears fast on my feet.

I initially posted in response to Ed. That said, I like the Nick's a lot. If I didn't have so many brown Vibergs, I would have bought some brown colored Nick's a long time ago. My Nick's took twice as long to break in, but cost half as much.

And Ed, the size 9 Nick's fit is comparable to s Viberg 8.5, and Red Wing 9.

VibergxContext 2045 Horsebutt Size 8.5

Zuriick by Nick's William Size 9

Iron Heart Viberg Brown Oil Tan 310 Size 8.5

All three pairs equally broken in. Nick's worn three times as much.

Great shot. Car, desert, jeans...

Size 36 DD-1001XX 1947 after second hot soak.

They seem to run a little longer than my 1001. 

Phone pics.

Great post soak measurements. I really don't need another pair!

Sorry I can't help Niro. I'm a fanboy, and IH earned it.

Looking great!

They look great Broark! I know you'll post great pics!

Lower rise = lower waist for me.

I got the 22oz 546 last Thursday and have worn them everyday since. 36w

I have the 1000 and 1001 Warehouse also in 36. Both fit higher in the waist. Both are also much roomier in the top block. I would go 34w with Warehouse in the future, personally.

Received my 22oz 546 Natural Indigo today. OW from BIG. Tried them on, never took them off. Found my Oni cut! Stoked!

They do shrink, but will stretch back out in the areas with most friction.

No need to soak beforehand unless they are too big.

Broken twill looks like it wears great. I wear my WHR 1901 as much as I can, but there is almost 0 evo, which means they'll be working for many years. Love it. Mine are the 18oz denim Ryan had.

You know you did good when your product generates such passionate responses.

Perfect fit.

Looking great!

Wearing mine today. Similar fade patterns, but nowhere near as pronounced as yours.

The Waitresses.😜

Eeks, mixed up my 80's, Romeo Void.

Great song!

Jacket evo is amazing.

Sounds great. When do we get pics?

I think it's the combo of the heat here in sydney + cycling. Summer is just starting and i am beginning to die

Commitment!!!

Very nice combo. My Samurai Denimo are holding tight to their indigo. Lots of wears, some bicycling.

Looking good. Quercas belt?
