Thats a stellar fit right there HV.

Awesome fit, HV! What did you hem at?

@Zentner:

Thanks….these are simply the best fitting jeans, ever. As to the hem question....no hem, those are the longest length they had in a 32! (Paula promised to send me whichever pair measured longest, which I greatly appreciated) I'm tall and have freakishly long legs....if I undo the single cuff, I can kind of get stacks going..kind of

@Anesthetist:

Yup..my CQC-5 fits the knife pocket on the MBBs perfectly! My old school custom CQC-8 will see a lot of pocket time in these jeans too, and I'll be wearing them to the Blade show in Atlanta next month.

@daynym:

Yep. Contest. I ´ve ordered a pair of beatles volume one. The denim and cut sounds so much promising…

really looking forward to some first pics of those and how the fit is going to look on all the different persons…happy to see you´re joining as well!

HC-IH-69
IH-634S Size 34

First every pair of Iron Hearts. First fit pics.

They seem big to me.  Should I size down 1.

[Nerkg]

Top block looks good. Mabey a slimmer cut, if you don't like the strait leg cut

[Snowy]

Welcome, nicely done Sopiarz3.

@Nerkg, they're still really stiff, they'll look much more natural in a few weeks. Sopiarz3's on a great fit.

@nietenhosen beautiful finish, true class.

x-post from pics thread.  First pic is pre-soak

…yes I'm barefoot, but just pretend I'm wearing some über cool shoes or something

Post-soak and with shoes! Might have been able to size down to 35, but IMHO they still look good regardless.

Cheers!

Thank you Giles Paula and Beatle for signing my MBB jeans

[Sopiarz3]

So it's time to put these Elephant 2 away in the closet for two years.  These have about one year and two months of wear. Note the cheap belt that I needed to replace badly so I got the belt from Mega. I don't have any good pics of it yet though.

Even though the 634s are only 1oz lighter denim they feel a lot lighter than the elephant 2.

You're right highvoltage it is a Morgan dollar. The wings are spread

[D97x7]

HC-IH-35

Thought I'd do a hot soak to get rid of any shrinkage.
A couple of hours soaking

Got some, what I assume is starch, out but not much indigo

Drying

[Finn666]

mine are done with soaking…just re-measured them as well and there was almost no shrinkage at all!
the only "noticable" shrinkage was 0.5cm in waist, 1cm in back rise, 0.5cm in knee and 3cm in length...rest is still the same!

post soak fitpics and all are following later today!
