Iron Heart Jeans

[stabliu]

you weren't wearing it?

It was too Damn hot, plus the ladies wanted me to take it off

[gazeboarder]

I love Iron Heart denim and this cut but $50 more for black denim seems a little excessive.

[kiya]

They had no choice but to charge more because they had to weave the denim for this one jean.

We make less on this than on the indigo pairs, the combination of the strong Yen and an exclusive fabric raised the price.

[yliafp]

can't afford IH's but damn do I want a pair

are there any IH's without awesome fades???

[stewiegriffin]

To be honest, I never seen one with that "awesome" fades..

[madapaka]

browse the IH thread, there are some nice pairs out there.. just my opinion though.

[Max Power]

To be honest, I never seen one with that "awesome" fades..

I have to agree here. There are brands that fade much "better" than IH. It seems that these are very tough to break in

what brands? i really thought IH's generally had the best fades ive seen

[stewiegriffin]

Never had one but imo sams play in higher level in this game

And ih is doing fine too.. Its all about personal preference. Peace.

Iron Hearts aren't fast fading jeans, but you can wash them routinely and get very nice vintage-style fades. Which is sort of a bonus in itself, you can skip all that 'wait six months' nonsense and give them a bi-weekly or monthly soak/wash without losing indigo took quickly.

Personal taste: Fullcount, Warehouse, Samurai, Flat Head, Indigoskin, ...

[vjiforlife]

Mine 301s's are fading well. I wish I had pix right now. They fade very well. Own them and experience.

[deadendpro]

the fact that you all had mentioned high contrast, rigid, fast fading jeans take little away from the fading capabilities of IH. sure, you can achieve a great result from some 710s, 1001s or 1108s, but the denim used on most iron hearts is still some of the most resilient out there with indigo that takes some time breaking in. If any of you have any doubts as to the potential of IH, take a look at Bobby's (Evilcrayon) 301s. sick as FUCK!

seriously - what convinced me the most is the durability...been wearing the 07's daily for the last 10.5 months - not one broken thread

Cant wait to see how Sydneylo's pair turn out.

[beatle]

seconded....

[madapaka]

has giles stated what the fading properties of the devils fit will be? just since its a new denim... i don't really care about having sick fadez; just curious.

edit: and your jeans are the 21oz denim, correct beatle?

I believe the Indigo version are 18oz. Below is a quote from Beats regarding the Black pair...

"The IHXB01sbg (sbg= superblack fading to grey) will be made out of the 21oz black/black selvedge denim, they will be constructed using copper/bronze coloured thread and use the bronze hardware from the IH-634SR (5 year anniversary)."

something you won't achieve with Denime...or Samurai

ive definitely looked at a lot of flathead and samurai and find myself liking IH fades more

but you're right, it really is just personal taste haha

[Seul]

It's a matter of being fan of the Stubborn Crew Culture or the FastFoodFade Cuisine...

[Max Power]

well, I like both. And if IH are really that stubborn: great. I'll find out myself. But the quote, that IH are of the best fading jeans is not true, in my opinion. But, in fades there are also different personal likings, so to each his own.

[DoitsuJin]

i laughed a little when someone mentioned 'vintage' with IH. I love IH but that's not what they're about

ah i see. leaning towards devils fit for the slub, but beatle buster fit might be more to my liking...

Kiya/AJ,

I spoke with Thomas from SENY 'bout a week ago and he said that the overdyed 301s would be restocked. Can you confirm this?

[ke1]

About how much do 301's stretch in the thighs, maybe in comparison to APC ps.

Oblivious to the option of buying size 28's and soaking them, I bought 27's instead and thought I'd wait for them to stretch.

They fit the same as my APC's when I first got them. Can I expect them to stretch the same amount? Will the heavy denim prevent it from stretching very much?

[GupNasty]

I HATE being another annoying size questioner, but:

I'm most comfortable in a size 27 APC NS stretched to a 30-31. My natural waist is 29". Would a 634S in a size 28 be good enough for me? I do hear they stretch a bit. I'm 5'4" and 125 lbs for reference.

Thanks in advance.

[onehundy]

I'd go with a Sz29.

It will be restocked but there'll be a bit of time before they arrive.

[jskidder]

Are you going to be getting any 27's this time?
