Iron Heart Jeans

[Magsåvningsreserven]

they're a bitch to put on at first but they loosen up, i couldn't button them up when i first got them, my thumbs were ruined!

[thizzmarley1]

what's weird is that I measured my waist in inches and it came out to about 33.5 inches, yet somehow a size 30 IH 634s fit my waist perfect, with about a fingers worth of room left in the waist for comfort. What's going on???

I suspect the jeans don't sit exactly where you measured.

When the patch says 634-SE...whats the difference? Cuz most have 634s...does anyone have info on that...thanks in advance

[Magsåvningsreserven]

they are 38" inseam and either a 38 or 40 in waist

*oh, i sent an e-mail to ironheart.co.uk, and basically asked if a black pair would come in selvedge and what new stuff is coming, and i got a very quick reply from Giles who said:

Hi,

Probably no black selvedge for a while.

I do have some 21oz black straight (non-selvedge), with silver rivets.

More belts . possibly some wallets and a slight redesign of the Trucker Jacket.

Giles

thought someone might care, black selvedge could be a possibility..

btw Kiya, do ironhearts stretch up to 2 inches? i have hardly worn mine im just wondering, thanks.

The "se" means it's a size 38 or 40, only made for two accounts, me and Giles in the UK.

is it possible to be on with a size 36x34 as well...some guy is selling them and has that on there...

also..do these shrink much in the waist and thigh area, any way you can make them shrink in those areas? Thanks for the help..

These don't shrink much at all...

thanks kiya, so im assuming its possible for a 36 to be marked se then?

They actually stretch a lot, shrink basically none. If it's too large raw, it's too large. If it's just right raw, you're pushing it, because they stretch so much.

Because where you measured isn't your true waist size For example my waist is 31" just above my navel which gives you my true size. My waist, where my jeans sit, 3 inches below my navel is 32 - 33".

[paulbizo12]

just got my 36s in from a member...they a bit big for my liking...will a hot soak shrink them a bit? Or should i just sell them and get size 34?? any interest...

[habia]

What is the best (or actual) place to measure 'true waist'?

Above the navel seems ridiculous since I have never, ever worn pants that high.

I always thought it was supposed to be 1"- 1.5" inches below navel. I don't even wear my pants that high though.

There is no point in trying to measure your actual waist.

You should grab the best fitting jeans that you have right now and just measure the waistband.

Sell em, there's no way they'll shrink enough unless you're only looking to lose .5" or so..

thanks denimdad for these..they are great.....

question, if these size 33 1634 fit me well with some room....do you think i should go with a size 32 634? do you think size 32 will be similar to the size 33 1634? thanks in advance

[B-Dawg]

so i went hunting for chanterelle mushrooms with my friends in the redwood forest, and numerous times while crashing through the undergrowth to keep up with my crazy woodsman buddy i had the invasive species blackberry bushes, with their numerous and fine spines, rake across my legs. normally this would have caused a large quantity of itchy painful tiny needles in my calfs and shins, but my sexih03s were there to save the day. oh how i appreciate the 21oz. denim...

[Magsåvningsreserven]

that's how you sell 21oz hehe

[Darkeside]

Gave my 634s a quick hot soak yesterday just to try get the shrinkage out of the way on the legs.

Only minimal indigo loss and the water went pretty yellow before that as noted elsewhere in the thread.

Can't say there was much change if any as I only tried them on briefly before dressing for work this morning, but they are much stiffer now and possibly a little tighter in the leg but that could be down to the stiffness(was pretty busy yesterday so didn't get measurements or pics)

Looking forward to putting a lot of time into these this year!

[theetruscan]

They're sanforized. They really don't shrink at all. Stiffer because you hang dried them I bet.

[Darkeside]

yeah - I wasn't expecting a lot of change at all really, but both Giles and the info on selfedge suggests they may shrink a little, so I wanted that out of the way rather than them lose that inch later and whatever fading i manage to get on these to be out.
