      ^ not my cup of tea tbh. and 500USD for "that"…hell no!

      btw. how do you close the thing? a belt is the only possibility I see, right?

        That particular one is actually well over 100 years old.  Its actually a lot longer in length than i would want.  As for  closing i would think belt made out of the same fabric.  The site were I found that sells fabric dating back over 100 yrs as well so u can make ur own if ur able to.  like this  http://www.kimonoboy.com/textiles/popup_folder2/kaya-8011.html?item=1688

        I dunno about actually getting one but im def intrigued  :-\

        P.S.  Visvim makes one

          hmmm after that fitpic I might have to take back a bit of my previous post! 😛
          I'd say if you can wear it, go for it…on the other hand I wouldn't want to shell out a small fortune for one!
          just because it's a special piece that you can't wear everyday imo...

            I think you may also get some of these from Kapital, you can contact bandanna almanac, he is the expert for those things I believe. maybe also for all the vintage questions you might have.

              I like the indigo dyed hemp versions.  Its such a beautiful fabric up close especially the way it was done in the 1st pic i posted.  I have to agree with ya Finn,  $500 is def not gonna happen with me either but i would def pay a few hundred for a key piece like that.

              Thanks a lot Davito.  Im gonna look at it now.  By the way I absolutely love Kapital's indigo stuff.  Take a look at Kapitals version on the right.  Seriously beautiful piece and maybe my favorite jacket.

                  Hi everyone I am new to here and I have one question to ask which is with a thigh of 24inches calf 17 inches and waist of 36inches what is the best fitting I can get for IH? I have a few pieces in mind but do not know what is the exact differences like IH 634sr, 634s and lastly 666s Sod

                    The only real way to work that out is to measure a pair of your current jeans that fit you will the way we do:

                    http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5135.0

                    And compare with the sizing charts published on every product page under the sizing tab.

                    BUT IH-634SR are extinct and there is only one pair of IH-666Sod left

                      Hi, 666 is a superslim jeans where the 666s is unsanforised (will shrink to fit) and the 666sod is overdyed. It seems that a size 36 could work in the 666s but i would go with the 634 cut for your first pair of IH.

                      634 is based on a 66 cut straight with slight taper. SR anni model and s-raw in the nice 21/23 oz unsanforised denim are extinct unless you find some on the marketplaces around.

                      634s is very nice, for most this is the first IH pair. The there is also the 634sb the overdyed model with a bit fuller cut especially in your size.

                      Check out the various threads, lots of great information.

                      Best is when you measure a good fitting jeans you have and like the IH way and compare it with measurements here.

                      Good luck

                      Cheers,

                        Thank you guys the problem is I became so fat. My past nudie I couldn't wear it and I became fatter that is why I when to search some denims for me to wear it. As due to my big size waist and thigh. Therefore now I am finding one. And I went to search on 634s and sr and hear that is quite a good denim plus is a straight cut. I also have in mind samurai s5000xx and s5000vx21oz. I am choosing among this 3 since IH634sr is extinct

                                      @ DD you should check out http://threads.srithreads.com/. It looks at detailed JP workwear 100's of years old. I've been reading the blog for over a year, some really really amazing pieces;

                                      Below is a "modern" piece from the 19th century.

                                        Can anyone tell me what their typical experiences with packages at customs Chicago ISC when usps is the carrier? My boots have been sitting since last Wednesday morning and never had a package sit that long before. I've tried emailing usps regarding it but as of now no response.

                                            Yep. Messaged John to see ifvthiscwas typical of his experience and he i fixated it is not. Told me it would probably be a good idea to get in the phone and start calling and keep him posted. I'm not the only one worries now.
