  1. Anyone know how to get Fullcount’s slimmer cuts w/a longer inseam? For reference I’m 6’ tall and slim w/longer legs and I need at least 32in length. 

    I managed to pick up a pair of 1108EX tag 32 from S&S Oakland that is pretty long (34.5 one-washed) Love the vintage slim-straight fit and the denim is AMAZING.

    When I look up Fullcount’s more trim cuts like the 1109 and 1110 they typically top out at around 31in in sizes that would otherwise fit. I want a trimmer cut in both the 13oz and 15oz denim. Fingers crossed that I’m not SOL here, any pointers appreciated! 

     

     

  2.  The 17oz denim is one-wash I believe. They fit perfectly everywhere else. The hip and thigh fit the same as the other slim pairs that I own (for reference: TS slim and 3sixteen 100xk and 120xk), and have an excellent amount of tapering that suits my super-thin legs. I'm pretty sure that if I size up in this cut it will be too wide for me in the knee and/or leg opening and end up looking sloppy.    

     

    I have a few different IH denims -- 14oz, 21oz, 23oz, and 25oz. I've been able to get 1.5" - 2" stretch in the waist on all of them with wear. 

     

     ^^ This definitely makes me more optimistic, some other people I've talked to have told me that IH take a lot longer than the usual month to fully stretch/break in. Maybe I just need to keep at it day after day. Then again, the waistband stretcher and/or partial soak might be a good idea if I'm feeling particularly impatient.

     

    I appreciate all the pointers guys, thanks a bunch. 

  3. Hello all, 

     

    I'm new to the forum and new to Iron Heart, so I figured those of you most experienced with the brand could help me out in this particular situation. 

     

    My most recent acquisition is a pair of Iron Heart 17oz Natural Indigo slim fit (301N) size 30 that I picked up from Self Edge in San Francisco. This is my first foray both into Iron Heart and into denim that exceeds 14oz in weight. I love them, or should I say, I really really want to love them. The issue is that I'm afraid they might be too tight in the waist.

     

    Of my 3 other pairs of raw denim that I have broken in/am still breaking in, they've each started at around 31.5in and come out to about 33in, which is just the tiniest bit too loose, not very noticeable at all to people looking, and usually fine with a belt.

    When I got this pair, they measured 31 inches in the waist. They were pretty tight, but I could still button them all the way up (I tried them on in store). I've put a good 30 wears or so into them so far, and they've come out a full inch to 32in. They've definitely loosened up a bit and no longer leave giant marks on my waist after wearing, but they still feel too tight. If I could get them to come out just half an inch more I'm sure that they would be perfect.

     

    Will these come out any more than the inch that they already have? Or would I just be making myself endure unnecessary pain?

     

    I'm aware that this denim is relatively new to the brand (I think?) and doesn't have the same properties as their standard 21oz denim, so I doubt that I'll be getting a super-definitive answer. I really hope that I can keep wearing these in, but if it's a lost cause I'd like to know now so I can cut my losses as much as I can. Any advice would be much appreciated  :)
