Iron Heart Jeans

Same here, I order a lot of stuff from IHUK and they go out of their way to make sure you're happy with the money you're spending.

yep, it makes a huge difference when all the employees of a company are so passionate about not just their brand but also the clothing market they operate in. 

I found it very refreshing (and surprising) that they had section for other brands on their forum, and they also talk about and recommend other brands products, even when those products are the type of products they are selling.

 

They are my favourite brand not just for their top quality products but customer service wise as well.

[heyheyhey]

Not many other brands will interact with their customer/fan base closely enough to essentially produce certain products because they asked for it in a direct way. The excellent duck vest comes to mind!

That's great to hear. So anyone else have any interest in a 634 with a higher rise but other measurements remaining the same?

Not a lifters cut just a longer rise

That used to be the case but then, for some reason, the cut was tweaked and, essentially, became a copy of all the other low rise, slim fit jeans they produce. 

[heyheyhey]

More 666ish? I own the first edition, wonder how they compare.

[shoreman]

Pretty much. 

 

Siounds like Kbuzz is looking for the 633 in 14oz from Self Edge. It appears as though they altered the lower rear rise found in the heavier weight versions of this cut. I'd still message Andrew or "Bearded Johnathan" or any of the other employees to double-check measurements in your size, since SE is notorious for having wacky size charts.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I really need something running 12 inch in a 36

Maybe I'll bite the bullet and explore the 55s. Although the legs will definitely be a bit lager then the 634s

@nizzle damn man, I'm good with jeans right now and don't care for double indigo very much but you're making it really hard to not get a pair.

How does the double indigo compare to the UHR? They both look a little similar

$105.00 CAD in duties for two UHF on a full value declared parcel. Thankfully there was a free shipping promotion. I'll crunch the numbers to see if it's worth doing business with them.

Edit: Yes, it is.

Was just hit with more duties on one UHF than I did for two last time. This effectively makes buying from Japan a wash when compared to buying from IHUK for Canadians...or maybe just Quebecers?(Unless you feel like you're getting more value by saving $15 CAD. I sure as hell don't.) Edited November 3, 2016 by TresUnCool

Do you guys not pay duties stuff from the uk?

[orchestrion]

Soaked my IHSH-33 last night. It's been too long since I've had a black denim shirt...I still can't tell if this thing is black or deep indigo! Either way I'm eager to start wearing it. Feels like a very solid shirt.

[ShootThePier]

It is an amazing denim shirt. I have many, but am looking forward to wearing the shit out of this one. Some denim shirts can be too stiff. The weave on this one seems perfect for year round wear.

[Chubacca]

I just recently bought the same shirt and it's amazing.  My first IH shirt and the quality and build is really something.

i want that 130-gb so bad. what extra charges would i expect from rakouten shipping to california?

[serotonin flood]

I bought an Iron Heart sweatshirt from rakuten and had it shipped to California and I didn't incur any extra charges.

[shoreman]

I thought the states had an $800 threshold...in Canada, it's $50.

[TTC]

for canadian customs it is all based on markings.  if marked as merchandise over 20.00 may incur customs charges.  If marked as a GIFT value must be below 60.00.

 

i have bought tons from JP and rarely get hit by customs; although i have preferred shops i have dealt with for a long time and they are happy to mark my packages as gift value 5000 yen, so avoid customs charges.  have maybe been hit twice on close to a hundred packages.

 

so for me its a no brainer to get direct from jp

Looking great!

Congrats to your incredible denim evo results!

Keep them alive for ever

They deserve it!!!

[Rob060]

my 126-UHF from last year. this season is 1"+ in the sleeve. would love the gray/black version of this shirt but the new measurements make me hesitant considering how well last year's version fit.

Edited December 1, 2016 by Rob060

[ShootThePier]

Perfect fit.

[shoreman]

Westerns typically fit differently compared to the Work Shirt versions, anyway. The sleeve length on the 130-GB is nowhere near as exaggerated as the 155. But yeah, if you're looking for a really clean fit, this season's shirts probably aren't for you.

[Isquach]

I'm thinking about tapering & hemming my 4 year old beatle busters since they're getting tattered at the hem and they're pretty wide at the leg opening. Anyone have any good recommendations in NYC for cheap tapering jobs? Also, has anyone tapered their pair with some pics?
