Iron Heart Jeans

[tigerpac]

I don't think they make TOO many 555s - you should get while the getting's good.

[zwer]

Saw a post by Giles today that said more 555s are in production. Should arrive in 5 weeks. Unsure if he was referring to all 3, though.

[itsbenhere]

He was talking about the indigo ones at least. I just got a black chambray 46 for 175 from Giles. I'd def kop, shit is super nice.

was looking at the size charts for the 301s..

pretty similar to 555-1

I'm a fan of skinny/slim raw denim, and I just found out Iron Heart made the 555-01 in some pretty thick 21oz. Pretty appealing (understatement? perhaps...). I'm wondering if this is a one-off, or if this is going to be around for some time? In otherwords, should I grab a pair and hoard until I'm ready to rotate with my current pair, or hang on because there will be plenty to go 'round?

Another batch coming in soon

Yeah I saw that too. What's the differences, if any, between the two? I guess the 301S has a slightly slimmer thigh, but is the 21oz denim the same?

[everyinchofgod]

It's the exact same denim, and the difference in the thigh measurements is due to the different way Self Edge and ih.uk measure their jeans. Definitely a very similar fit and exactly the same denim. If anything, the 301S has the looser top block.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

and the 555 has a higher rise, IIRC

[okisan]

the 301s has a taper on the outseam as well if i'm not mistaken. this accounts for the fact there's no visible selvage on the outseam, as the pattern just doesn't make this possible. i own both the 555 & the 301s and overall they are very similar.

^Hey Okisan how'd u size on the 555 in comparison to the 301s? U got the raw 18 oz i think, correct?

I have the 301s in a 31 and they fit awesome (though they were a bit tight in the thighs at first though)

U think i should go with the same size, 31, in the 555, or size up to a 32?

[rawsnoopy]

also what are your impressions of the raw 18oz vs. the sanforized 21 oz? (assuming I am right that you got the raw 555)

[shoreman]

You can't really compare the two. 21oz is significantly heftier while maintaining an excellent degree of comfort. The 18oz has everything you've come to love from breaking in raw denim and tends to drape really well after several wears.

That green iron heart thing. So sad it ain't in my size

[Usao]

Just got myself a pair of these, hopefully they come in the mail soon.

I wonder if i can enter the HWDC with these.

[zwer]

Of course you can - 17oz and above. You just can't wear them more than 30 times before the comp starts.

Damn that makes me sad I wanna start wearing the right away, I can't wait 2 months. Where does one sign up for the competition?

i got a 31 in the 555-02, whereas my 301s are a 30. i'm not sure if that'd be the same for other folk, but my 301s had stretched in the waist to 32ish so got the 555-02 in something similar knowing i could stretch it back out after it soaked & shrank.

the two denims are very different though. the 21oz is quite a dark & smooth denim, whereas the 18oz raw has an inkier indigo look to it, & has more overall character to it - more texture. neither is better than the other, they're just different - but both awesome.

@tooawesome....

All the info is 1 page Back.

[TooAwesome]

whoops my bad, mustve missed that on my phone or thought it had to do with all the 555/301s talk.

i read that thread and found it funny how people were all wondering 'WHYYYYYYYYYYY is it only in 32?'

i think the answer is pretty obvious, most if not all pant makers use size 32 as their base line for measurements because it is the most common/middle size (28,29,30,31,32,33,34,36,38) then adjust +/- for bigger and smaller sizes. seeing how they were samples for testing, it makes sense that theyre only in 32.

Can't see anything of your denim! You should have picked a better place to make these pics.

[nihped]

I'm asked about the fit btw..hahaha.. not about overall .. because IMO the lighting is enough to observe the fit ..hahahaha

[brianchia]

Fit looks good for a straight cut!

[riff]

I'm kindasorta glad these sold out cuz I would have been really tempted...

Jeans look fine. Sell the shirt, if you can find someone to buy it.

[everyinchofgod]

^My thoughts exactly.
