EIGHT G

The rise on that looks crazy high.  Not into the back pockets.

I've never dissed N&F

wear pictures are okay.  not soo impressive if that is the best pair they have to show me on the product page.

not crazy about the arcs (if you can call them that) on the back pockects. i will look the jean over better when i get to a better computer monitor

@Giles:

Truth… But you did say they were bandwagon-jumpers when it came to making heavy jeans...

Someone buy Beatle or kybosh a pair of 30 oz. N&F jeans and see how they hold up!..

Did take a look at their monster jeans - certainly above 21oz.
Not sure about practicality and wearability.
Did not get one - that thought did never cross my mind, but I was curious…

[FOXY]

Did get a 804-XX instead - very loud denim…

Might have to do something about the pocket patch and the arcs. Not sure when I will get have them soaked.

Foxy, are those hank dyed? Super streaky…

[STAN]

Just come across this thread.

Fit pics before soak and hem. This is W31. Baggy from thigh till bottom.

I am not wearing this very soon and obviously it stands by it on.

and inside

Can anyone tell me the measurements on the 30oz in the size 30, the thigh is the one I'm most interested in,

Cheers

Your just speaking the truth

Aero Leather are currently selling off their stock of Eight G 30 oz jeans for £150, which is half price. They've got sizes 30, 32 and 36 in stock.

The product page on Rakuten gives measurements. It looks like they fit about true to size, maybe an inch large in the waist, and all have a 36" inside leg. However, they will shrink by about 2" in the waist and leg. Fit is apparently somewhere between a 47 and 55 cut Levi's 501.

When I visited Aero, Will really rated these, and they're generally unavailable outside of Japan. So if you can live with the arcs…

[Graeme]

I ordered a pair of the 30 oz jeans off Aero a while back, and had them sent down a couple of weeks back with a jacket that was in for repair.

Mine are a size 36, and a 36" waist and 37" inside leg. After soaking this fell to a 34" waist and a 35" inside leg. Other dimensions seem similar to a size 34 pair of the IH 1955S, though the leg is very slightly slimmer.

In terms of finish, Eight Gs feel more industrial or agricultural, whereas Iron Hearts are more precisely engineered.

If you're after something to tide you over until Giles does a re-run of the 55s then they're worth a look.

I'll post some pics in the next day or two.

I've got a pair to, they are crazy thick and stiff. I'm wearing my 25 oz IH jeans now and they are so much softer.
