xtc,
Those are probably my favorite shoes, the natty moosehide is soft as butter.

Snowy,
Not as interesting as you might hope. Went out for the Mrs bday, drank a bit much, and fumbled a half glass of Oberon.

[Snowy]

ah shit. Thanks for the honesty ::)

Haha, I'm not hatin'. They look comfortable as hell, just struck me funny because I'm used to seeing Vibergs, Red Wings, etc around the forum.

[jdl1279]

Didn't take it that way, so no worries. I can't wear boots all of the time anymore, so branching into other areas was a necessity of comfort.  Moccs won't win me any fashion awards, but that's not why I wear them.

It's been about 1 month in my first pair of Iron Hearts, no soaks/washes.  Here are some fit pics.  There isn't very much fading so I didn't bother taking any close-ups.  When I first got them I had to lie on my back to button them up, but they've loosened up nicely and are very comfy now.  I'm loving these jeans.

^Crazy stacks! Personally I think they would look better with a hem but you should wear em however you like of course.

Had to sell my 33s because the waist just didn't give me enough stretch. Really hated putting them in that box and watching them sail away. I plan to move on to a 34 in that imaginary day when I have money for all the jeans I want…and enough time to wear em!

[jdl1279]

I've noticed a lot more fading since my first wash. Otherwise it had been slow, and mostly major stress areas. It's still not quick, but is noticeably more post first wash.

[aztecraws]

Yeah, I know it looks a little sloppy compared to a nice hem, but I'm still young and I like the look.  Also I think stacking keeps me warm by preventing cold drafts of air in the winter from reaching my ankles.  I'm not a fan of cuffing, but I can always hem them.  However, I am curious… will allowing the stacks to settle now have any impact when/if I want to hem them in the future?

[xtcclassic]

I see no reason why it should. I prefer stacks to cuffs, but IMHO you should hem 2" or so. You'd still have plenty of stacking, it just wouldn't be so over the top. Just my 2 cents, do what makes you happy.

[Haddtoo 555]

Never have worn stacks or cuffs….until IH...those stacks at six months will be so cool.....I'd keep'em

[Max Power]

I personally think the fit would look 10x better with a hemjob and minor stacks. Not a fan of combs that continue from the knees to the hem and make you look small. But they're you're Jeans, so do what you like.

[jdl1279]

These are really coming along nicely

You know you've made it when your being copied. 
I don't think it applies here. But  a quote I've always liked.

Right, but the makers of these jeans do not deserve a penny from ANYONE, regardless of how foolish the source.

Sadly, we've seen this before…
