Iron Heart Jeans

[mittens]

Just picked up a pair of of 634s-b's today. Not sure if I want to start wearing them immediately or hold off for the next heavyweight contest.

terrible photo, great jeans.

pre-soak ih-555 raws

[Geeman]

Post soak pics? Can you give us the pre and post soak measurements as well? The new IH555 may have just changed my mind from the PBJ X013 I was gonna get!

[okisan]

haven't soaked yet. they seem to measure pretty much as the ih site indicates, except i got them hemmed shorter. will do the post soak measurements later

[okisan]

post soak. these are 31's & they lost about 0.75 in the waist, 0.5 in the thigh, 1.5 on inseam, & 0.35 in leg opening. i'll give these another hot soak to lose a tad more in the leg & tighten up the seat a bit more, but i think i sized right.

it's been years since i've had new pair of iron hearts, i'd forgotten how much hard work they were to start with! my thumbs are not happy at the moment.

Great fit! I need to look into the 555 model as well.. Seems nice. Are the thighs really slim or a bit forgiving?

[okisan]

thighs are pretty slim, but they're supposed to be. they'll probably stretch back to pre-soak with time.

[alex-san]

are those the 21 or 18oz model? think these might be my next pair

[okisan]

18

ih--555 02

updated fit after a 2nd (worthwhile) hot soak. everything firmed up a bit more.

[Geeman]

Lose anymore in the inseam on the 2nd soak?

[okisan]

not a thing. lost a bit more in the waist though.

[nerkg]

Selling 666od size 34, fit like a size 32. Pm me

[Yok Jarusombat]

My first pair. IH-555-01. Haven't decided what to do about the hem yet, so fat stacks for right now.

[okisan]

Did you guys just pick up the 555s on Ironhearts site before they sold out or what? They fit is spot on but theyre sold out of all the low sizes

Edited October 23, 2012 by Ghoul

[okisan]

they didn't make the small sizes in this production run. just the most popular sizes

[yokbua]

they did mention size 28 and lower are coming

I've got a question maybe you guys can help me with. I've had a Sugar Cane natural leather belt for about two years and it squeaks againsty jeans. I used to have Flat Heads, and just recently got some IHxAldenxSelfEdgexLeatherSoles, and it still squeaks on those too. It's like the back of the belt over time has gotten smoothed down from wear, and it's all the most worn parts that squeak. Thanks dudes.

[theotherchrislewis]

Where's the question?

[MrWest]

Help me de-squeak my jeans please.

^ (?)

[MrWest]

Or belt rather.

[Geeman]

Or belt rather.

Has it always squeaked? If so its probably due to the coating, some leather belts have a acrylic type coating applied that squeaks like mad especially on thicker cut belts.

[MrWest]

It started squeaking pretty soon after I got it. It seems like the texture on the underside wears away and becomes really smooth in high friction areas, and those are the parts that squeak. I've been told to condition the underside, but I don't know of that would mess up the belt and/or the jeans.
