Iron Heart Jeans

[Dchill]

I'm with you aypeeone sometimes the tailor is really the only way to get that exact fit.

[beatle]

u sure ? maybe it's just the pic - but it looks like the waist is'nt tight at all..regardless - they are great now

[grundletaint]

here are my BK after a night out in them. was considering a hem but i think i'm gonna stick with the cuff this time.

[Dchill]

yeah go with the cuff nice fit.

[grundletaint]

thanks man. the more i think about it, the cuff is gonna turn out pretty wild in the long run as the blue starts creeping out in the legs.

[Markmont]

If anyone is interested, I just got my sexih07bk in a sz. 31, looking to trade up to a 32 or 33. Tried on once, took them off immediately, no wear. Love the jean, just too damn tight in the waist and upper thighs.

[PeterParker]

Had these hemmed to about 32.5" and had them taken in from the thigh down 0.5". Im extremely happy with the fit now

I know the denim on the BK's is great, but really what's the point in buying a $450 jeans and altering them? It's not that they fit you poorly before; sounds like you just wanted a slimmer fit. IMO, you could have used another 2" off the hem. Cuffed or hemmed to length is the way to go on these. grundletaint's fit is spot on.

Whats the point in buying $450 jeans and not being 100% satisfied by the fit?

Ok, i just went through the Entire thread and i have gained a new found apprecation for Iron Heart. I must say that PeteRock has a SICK collection of items, that the SEXIH's have all truly looked and aged magnificently...which leads me to the 07's. i really wish i had been able to pick up a size 33 overdye, but alas. Congrats to you who got them, cant wait to see the evo on this thread!

[JoeySullivan]

Was planning to buy a IH Duck rider jacket but vertical length seems to be really short. Any feedback on that ? thanks

If you hemmed your jeans by 4", you'd improve the fit exponentially. (Always a no stack concept.)

[cure]

haha ive been thinking about it. maybe if im in SF anytime soon

edit: dioxic yeah i think those might be them, not sure though can't tell the texture on zappos pics but they're the closest thing to them

Granted, hemming them will definitely make the fit a lot more polished, I do know the feeling of wanting to keep the full length. I rarely cut mines either. Here is an ultimatum to cuttin' your stacks. Cuff the jean inside about 4 - 5 inches or whatever is appropriate, then do a normal 1 - 2 inch cuff on the outside. As seen here:

[Markmont]

SEXIH07BK - By convincing of Kiya I decided to just rock em'. They definitely feel a little tighter in the thighs then I wanted, and equally unflattering, but with a good cuff, I think it makes a world of difference. Painfully waiting for these to break in.

[appfaff]

i really dig the fit on those dude! nicely done

Thanks man, really appreciate that. That perspective is a little forced so there definitely not as slim at the ankle as they seem.

I say if the fabric is nice enough, then the jean is worth buying. Half the jeans I own I bought because of the fabric and not because of the cut. The cut can be changed to fit how you want it. At the end of the day, it's either you get the denim you want with the the need to change the fit as an option, or you don't get the jean at all. I say get the jean.

[grundletaint]

looks good markmont. just dropped mine off to get hemmed down to 34. the lady at the tailor was all WTF when she was looking at the denim.
