Cool! Mine are tagged 32 waist. I have worn them most weekdays since mid May without properly washing or soaking (I sprayed them with a hosepipe on the washing line once). The waist is now comfortable and the thighs just work. You've got much more room in the thighs than me, though.

Just got my first pair of Iron Hearts a few weeks ago. They're definitely the toughest pair of bottoms I've ever owned and yet denim feels so soft and great!
Awful pic with no flash
I seem to be having the same problem as aztecraws though. A hole has developed above the top button hole.
Should I stop wearing them until I can get it fixed?

That is n issue we see occasionally with the 25oz. The yarn is so wide that the button hole stitch perfectly goes over just one yarn (not a good thing). We are working out how to alter the button holer. What has happened to yours is not good, let me chat to Haraki. I did send him an email after you original PM, but did not get a reply, I think he is run ragged getting ready for Bread and Butter. I have hassled him again….G

My 25 ounce Devils after just over 2 months wear and a couple of cold soapless washes. Half the pics are flash, half non-flash, half dark background, half light, so I would appreciate a headsup on which (if any) pics work best. They are only mobile phone pics so sorry about the quality.

Yes Notwithit, it is difficult to put things in and take them out, but they are reinforced!
Thanks, that's very helpful.
Now the agonizing question and subsequent soul-searching for an answer that can only be found within:
- IH-666-XHS
- IH-634-XHS
- IHXB01-25 (sized up one, I think)
I like a slimmer leg opening, but I don't want to sacrifice the functionality of the front pockets. Right now I'm leaning toward the 634s and seeing if Railcar Fine Goods can taper them to < 7.5" (sacrilege, I realize, but perhaps the compromise I'm looking for).

Hey guys, so new to this forum but usually over on /r/rawdenim. These IH-666 are something I've been on the fence over making a pair of ultra-heavies, and with the deal this weekend it's even more enticing. But I've always been on the fence with the measurements. I read through at least 100 of the pages on this thread, but couldn't find anyone really discussing these things:
The main thing is that they measure less-slim/tapered than other 666 denims. Generally I like somewhere between 14.5-15" opening at the hem, with these in the 16.5-17" range. Now, I know super-slim isn't what IH is about, but they do have other 666s listed more in the 15-15.5" range. But I have runners thighs (thick) and chicken ankles (super thin). Are people finding that the openings are as wide as listed, and is it that the super thick denim is making them measure as wider, but the opening itself is actually much slimmer.
Also, how are people sizing for the high-rise. Another feature of these that I love, a proper rise. On normal jeans, I like to target them to end up right at 32.5". So I'm in between buying the 31s or the 32s. They'll stretch up to an inch, but the higher rise means they're up over my hipbone, which throws wrench into the question.
Anyway, thanks for any thoughts folks might have.

Ah, that's a good thing to know. I figured measurements were accurate, I was thinking more like they might have such super thick hems that the fabric bulk could add an extra .5" or so to the hem measurements. Requesting the smallest hem though might do the trick for getting the most tapered possible. Still just have to figure out whether I'd want 31 or 32 then… which is the perennial question with any pair of raws, of course.
Anyway, thanks!

Hi Guys. Can anyone provide some guidance on how much stretch can be achieved in the thigh? Am looking at tag 32 in the 666 XHS where the thigh measurement on website is 11.8. My true thigh is 12. In the past I've stretched jeans from 11.5 to 12 but I know this is a totally different ball game. Is this doable or am I kidding myself?
