Hi to all! This is my 1st post though i read a ton about Iron Heart threads.  Well i am ready for my 1st heavy weight jeans and it will be IRON HEART 666S.  Now my problem is i cant decide on what size to buy, maybe some of you guys can give me some advice, i am looking for size 32 and Selfedge tag size 31 is 32 and out of stock while Iron Heart UK  tag size 31 is 31.2 which is to small for me while tag size 32 is 32.8 and a little big for the fit i want.  While i read Beatle actual actual size post tag size 31 is 15.5 after a couple of days wear.  My goal is to have 32 to 32.5 actual waist size. Thanks in advance guys.

hey there!
well these are RAW, which means that you have to soak or wash them FIRST to get rid off all the shrinkage prior to wearing'em!
like stated on the website these going shrink 1" in the waist and ~2" in length…so seeing that you want a 32" waist after the soak/wash, I'd recommend a tagged 32" waist...
wash it at 30-40 degrees to get rid of all/most the shrinkage and wear the hell outta them.
they should shrink 1" but also stretch back near to raw measurements with wear (just the waist that is!), so you should be safe with a tagged 32" waist!...

Thanks for the quick response.  Sorry if i did not make my self clear, i mean size 32 to 32.5 after it stretch. Should i still go for tag size 32.

Welcome and yes.  My tag size 33 now measure 33

[Finn666]

well that's what I've wrote right

32" pre soak/wash measures 32.8"…minus 1" from soak/wash, you're down to 31.5-31.8"...plus 1" from wear and you should be back to 32.5-32.8"!...

Thanks, i'll go for tag size 32.

@ben2t:

Thanks, i'll go for tag size 32.

you will surely love them! hairy jeans…. these are my favorite pair of IH! its good for all weather! wearing it almost everyday for singapore weather ( 34deg average) but its never hot.

not forgetting the fantastic fading potential of this beauty.

Hei guys ::)

update 11 month 666s

[ben2t]

Yeah, i saw your pics fit Volcano its great, just like nicol and of course babyknight's perfect fit. i am glad that fin666 gave me a quick response, but i am still undecided if i will get size 32 or 31.  If only IRON HEART UK's sizing chart for tag size 31 is the same with Selfedge (out of stock) i will not think twice, i am aiming for waist 32 presoak and 8 inches hem presoak, i want the hem between 7.2 to 7.75 post soak. IS IT DOABLE FOR 666S TAG SIZE 31 TO STRETCH TO 32 POST SOAK? i have no experience with heavy weight jeans and this will be my first so forgive my ignorance.

[Giles]

You will not get a hem that small with the 666, you should look at the 555.  G

[ben2t]

thanks G, where can i buy the 555 model?

[Giles]

Here on Monday…..

[ben2t]

thanks G! i will do my research now about 555.
