IHXB01-25 - 25oz Beatle Buster

[501IH]

Nothing dramatic, Seanocono. I did the bathtub ritual in a pair of Flat Heads, and they scratched the back of my knees so badly I shed small quantities of blood. The beasts still aren't quite tamed, but by now I can wear them without further sacrifices….. at least my "private parts" remained unharmed.

Considering the world success of "Shades of Grey", how about collecting some stories like that and come up with a sequel, "Shades of Blue - Confessions of hard headed denim dudes"..... grin

Ha.  Glad to hear that it wasn't anything too dramatic.

The break-in period is probably my favorite time with a new pair of jeans; especially HW Iron Heart's.  Sure, they get better with time.  I won't argue that.  But I always really look forward to the next fight.

G, can I have a request to change the "W" with the red one? It will be perfect for me if you can… :-\

[Giles]

Sorry, we can't do that.  It means taking a pair specially out of production and that leads to mistakes….

@seanocono:

Just noticed my first bit of 25oz-induced hip bruising.

Is it wrong that I like this denim even more now?

Tell me about it …
(not as bad as it sounds, live)

[seanocono]

^Don't say I didn't warn ya. Haha.

I'll piggyback georgeel's post and give an update on these now that I've had them for a few months. Specifically, I'd like to address the cut, as there is plenty info on this denim on the forum (spoiler alert: it rocks!). Initially, I was slow to accept the fit. The rise didn't bother me as much as the slimmer thigh measurements. I had tried the Buster cut before, and it didn't work for me. I lost weight since then and decided to give it another shot. I went TTS and they looked a bit like 555s on me, at first. Boy, am I glad that I didn't give up on these, though. They have loosened up nicely, and fit EXACTLY how I was hoping they would.

If you are looking to try something a little different, outside of the flagship 634 cut (which I still love), this is the pair to try. They are comfortable beyond words, slimmer without being skinny, and look great with boots. If you're on the fence, jump. If you're initially not thrilled with the cut, be patient. It will pay off, I promise.

This 25oz denim is so fecking awesome.  I don't care that it's hot today.  I don't care that I have a new, different pair of jeans to break in.  I refuse to take these things off!

Latest run is just going through QC…..

[Giles]

Restocked.  But be careful, this run has come in slightly smaller than previous runs.  Sizing table reflects this run sizing….

[bubbapest]

I have the older version (the contest version) and wear them nearly every day except for I tend to get crazy annoyed because they seem to cause wedgies.  Could this be due to the very high rise?  Looking to buy another pair of IH- but want to be 100% as opposed to 95%
