@Sugar:
Usual advice in this case mate is to measure your favourite pair of jeans (the Unbranded ones) using the technique shown on this site, and then compare them to the dimensions of Iron Heart jeans to find the ones best suited to you.
+1 and I would advice going with a "lighter" weight to begin with, i.e. the devils fit in unsanforised 18oz if you choose for a superslim fit, beautiful jeans. be aware that measurements in the shop are pre-wash, so expect round 3-5% shrinkage vertically and horizontally. Watch out thigh measurements…but hei the sanforised 25ozers are supercool and nice as well, have both and do not regret to have em...
Beatle Buster could be a nice option as well for a fitted look, not too slim and not too relaxed.

I have a few pairs of 14 and 15 oz raw denim. I ride a motorcycle and wanted the heaviest stuff I can find. Why do you recommend the lighter weight denim? Just curious to understand your reasoning. I like the straight cuts, but i also like the look of stacks. I find that with straight cuts I have to cuff the jeans and was looking for a tapered leg in the new fit. I would buy the 25 oz straight cuts, but they are out of my size.
Thanks for the quick responses guys. Hopefully I can make up my mind and buy a pair before the end of the day. -
it is a personal preference. the 18oz is a beautiful unsanforised hairy slubby denim which gives you nice fades after quite a quick period of time. after a soak the 18oz will be over 19oz post-soak. the 25ozers need some more time to break but you will love em, great jeans. You may also opt for the 634S in 21oz (haraki-san's signature and favourite) which is a straight cut with a small taper down the knee. the perfect jeans to enter the IH world as you may see in the other thread. good luck!

If you're concerned about the thigh I found that the thigh on the 25oz is bigger than that on the 18, once soaked. At least in my size 36. Both are amazing choices.

Is there a chance, that there will be a 555 in 25 oz?
lol wtf that'll just be impossible to walk…... total no brainer question....

The 555 in 21 oz is really tight behind the knees (at least on me). I couldn't imagine it being 25 oz. And i probably would sweat like a pig in it.

I'm not sure if I got a big pair or something, but I've found my 666-XHS to be more comfortable and easier to walk around in than my 666s. The only challenge I had was with buttoning them up.

So I've got about 2 solid months in them so far, wearing for 12 hours a day minimum 4 days a week. They get wear on the other 3 also, just might not be for 12 hours. Words cannot express how much I love these jeans. Snapped a couple of quick pics. I think they're coming along nicely.
