IH-666S-21od - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo Overdyed Black

@johnfredmurray there's a couple of things to consider here. Firstly, I would recommend reading this post by @goosehd in which he explains his approach to sizing. The example given is for a shirt, but the same principle applies to other garments as well. Ideally, take a piece of clothing that fits you well, in your case your Bravestar jeans, and measure it the Iron Heart way. This will help you compare to the IH cuts.
Secondly, familiarize yourself with those different cuts. A more detailed comparison can be found here.
Once you have settled on a cut your final decision is the denim. These are the current denims, with the exception of UHR, which cannot be made anymore in its current iteration.
My first pair of Iron Heart was the regular, i.e. non-OD, 21oz 666. Personally, that was a pretty significant step-up in terms of weight and heft, but it broke in fairly quickly. I can't comment on any OD denim trousers as I haven't owned any, but the general consensus seems to be that they are softer from the get-go than the regular 21oz.
If you are looking for a lighter alternative I would recommend from personal experience the 18oz vintage or the 17oz natural.
And finally, if you have any questions drop the guys at IHUK an email at shop@ironheart.co.uk. They will be able to help you with any specific questions to help you decide on your first pair of IH.

@Tago-Mago, thank you for all the information. I really appreciate all the resources mentioned. I've got some research and measuring to do.

Super excited about getting these today! Next to my 2 month old IH-666s indigos.

Damn, I just ordered one to test the 666 fit, and sweet lord Jesus, the OD is striking in person; the fit is perfect for me, slightly tight at present, though I expect it will adapt to my shape with wear.
