Iron Heart Jeans

[shinobi2000]

I am seriously sad and bummed -- I got the very last IHxSE overdyed jean jacket available the other day. I was so excited when it arrived but when I put it on, it was too tight and uncomfortable. I seriously want to cry, the denim looks and feel so awesome but now I guess I have to return it.

Ohh a too small jacket of such a nice kind is really painfull

And I love the shiny fadings coming out slowly

Been lurking for quite awhile, but I figure since someone mentioned the 7301s, I'll go ahead and post my pair. I bike and skate daily, but these seem to be fading really fast. Fades are a lot less apparent IRL, but nevertheless, here they are...(also, I apologize for the iphone quality pictures)

1 month, 9 days, no washes, worn daily

Looking good. Don't see many Hawaii posters around here - I always assumed it was too hot there to wear denim very often.

[ercymmt]

it's never unbearably hot here, so denim is still pretty manageable even on the warmest days (uncomfortable, but manageable). i imagine the heat can get much worse elsewhere, so i just think about that and tell myself to suck it up whenever i have my doubts. i'm still impressed at how breathable the 21oz denim is.

We've got folks wearing Iron Heart in muuuuch hotter places than Hawaii. The truly hardcore ones are the dudes in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, etc.

And, yeah, it's all attributable to the loose weave, soft & breathable IH denim...

Hmm. It was 24 here yesterday and I found my new 18oz 666s quite uncomfortable. I'll put it down to only having worn them for 3 or 4 days though. Thighs are still too tight for summer.

[HoustonChris]

18oz is a completely different denim. The sanforized 21oz is the most breathable. All the other ones are tighter and more dense (from what I've read- I don't have any actual experience with the other weights).

[zwer]

Word. Didn't get them for summer comfort anyway. Never find slim cut anything that comfortable when it's hot and sticky out.

It seems that you're a fast fader.

Nice work put in them after such a short time

Hey guys, what's a better fit overall? The 301s or the 666s? I actually thought about either returning or selling the 666s I'm getting and waiting for a restock of the 301s.

But then again, I love slubbiness haha.

all really depends on your body type and how slim your legs are. just so you know the 555s are coming out this summer.

301s- skinny cut

666s- slim straight

Are the 555s skinny as well? Never heard of them until now. Sorry for the noob question but is there a link on the details?

[llvlaglne]

there is no such thing as a noob question.i don't mind helping you out. the top block is similar to the 666s but slimmer from the knee down. read up on it.... here's a link from the ironheart forum:

^ thank you kindly.

Those look dope. Looks like they'll be my second pair of IHs I'm just gonna keep the 666s. Can't help but love slubby denim

[llvlaglne]

is this your first pair of raws? if so, wow man. you shot straight to the top heavy weights

[gnomed]

Haha no it isn't. My first pair of iron hearts though.

[shinobi2000]

the thickness of your legs would be a factor too. Although I don't have thunder thighs, my legs (including my calves) are somewhat developed. I just couldn't fit comfortably in the 301s. That's why I too went with the 666s

Running an interest check here. I've got a pair of SEXIH07BK - black overdyes with the dog on the patch, used (i'd say 7/10), which i'm considering putting up for sale. 1 wash, 2 soak, 31 inch inseam size 33. Lots of black overdye left. These jeans fade to blue due to the overdye process, and only have got a slight wallet & butt fade. Only real downside is that it has a crotch repair and right side pocket repair. Retail $420, make me an offer. If there's interest, i'll get some quality pics detailing the condition.

Dear XHS... Thanks for the months of fun. See ya back in September!..

[everyinchofgod]

What's next up in the rotation, seul?

[Seul]

No real rotation: 5-6 months of PBJ XX-009 now... But will wear shorts when too warm... Still: they should see some nice wear...

[shoreman]

Iron Heart bros; I've got a question pour vous: I just got stitched up after a work related mishap; can I still smoke?

[lilfatsupra]

Do you guys recommend an initial soak? Gino at selfedge said I can go ahead and just wear them.

[shinobi2000]

Dear XHS... Thanks for the months of fun. See ya back in September!..

what?? it's not that warm yet :-)

[shinjin]

cannot wait for the 555 to come out. will be picking those up for sure

will they only be sold at TDV?
