Iron Army Jeans

[TragicBliss]

I was at Hollywood Trading at Fred Segal in Santa Monica yesterday, picking up some Julian Red's to rock for the next six or so months, and I came across this brand Iron Army. I guess there was a post about this brand about a month ago in the Supershopper forum. Anyway, I dug them enough to cop the "Hiro" black raw joints. They fit pretty much like Diors only a little lower rise. They're pretty low rise actually. Anyway, I though they were pretty rad. I'll post pictures of myself with them on later. But here are a few pictures from their site, The dude is wearing the jeans I purchased:

Just a heads up I guess. Here's their web address: http://www.ironarmyclothing.com/

Like the back pockets. How much are they? And construction and denim wise do they feel good? Really like the pockets. It has a certain ridiculous idiocy to it. (:

I tried these on at Ron Herman, I liked them but the back pockets are just too much for me.

I like the site alot, it has a good fun, non serious vibe to it. The slim's look to be a good cut also.

The jeans look pretty nice! Are they selvage denim?

[AznInvazn]

How much does a pair run for?

that girl has a cute face

[tweeds]

but scary eyes though

I like how they double-sewed the thing, one set of stitches done wrong on purpose, and the other normal.

[PG2G]

Just remember that I was told that the Iron Army jeans have "stretch" in them, whatever that means

[tweeds]

Elastane or some other stretchy stuff in the denim, probably? 7fam has 98% cotton, 2% additives denim

[Corbin Law]

are they dry? or just dark?

selvage?

chwa?

[TragicBliss]

Ok, here's pictures, as promised. The denim is dry, unwashed, non selvedge, and it is stretch. 80% cotton, 20% elasterel, whatever the fuck that means. They do stretch, but as you can see from the photos, whiskers don’t have a problem forming or staying put. I dig them, they fit pretty much like my Diors only a little lower rise, which is fine by me. The contrasting stitching is part of the whole appeal of them, but I’m sure it’s not some peoples cup of tea.

By the way, I’m 6’0†150 pounds. These are a size 29x34 I’m guessing, there’s no inseam length listed. Enjoy:

Thanks for the great pictures. I've been waiting to see Iron Army for a second. A new store in my area (CONTEXT Madison, WI) is getting them. They carry Edwin, Nudie, and Corpus (et.al). I can't wait to get a pair of Iron Army-- the stitching is NICE.

Nice pics - Tragic, could you post pics of your Diors as well?

[haptronic]

wow 20% is a huge amount of stretch, i'd be concerned about them wrinkling like old ladies tights.

[NESK]

those look really fresh. how much is a pair?

[AznInvazn]

Those look nice as hell.

[Guest The Diplomatic Aristocrat]

Those look really nice and all but like everyone has been asking...

HOW MUCH ARE THESE JEANS!?

I'm like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin'

[AznInvazn]

$190.

[Guest The Diplomatic Aristocrat]

Cool, thanks. I really like these.

Wow the contrasting stitching looks like someone's been drawing chalk-lines along the seams. Nice photos. How long have you had them?

[Guest Airjamie]

If they arent selvedge, is that split-seam?

[chadler]

tragicbliss, those jeans look awesome!

i was reading the their website and they said, "We also started to experiment with all kinds of crazy processing techniques from bleaching, sandblasting, dragging behind cars, grinding, painting, varnishing, sanding, and dying jeans using RIT ($1.89 WalMart)."

how would you sandblast your jeans? and with paint, what kind would you use?

[docdoom]

Good photos mate, and they suit the trainers.

The one with the sun on the left could be in a mag.

What's "Hiro Ito"?

i wasn't watching AMERICAN IDOL or anything, but CHRIS (the bald grunge dude) wore black iron army jeans during his butchering of I WALK THE LINE----those backpockets and white contrast stitching are unmistakeable.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of buying a pair.
