sounds like solid advice. thanks!

It looks like the jeans tagged 33 are pretty much the exact measurements I'm looking for post soak. Is the general consensus that I should buy TTS (33), and they will stretch back out to these measurements in the thigh and waist after a little wear?

[Giles]

Yes

[arizonaron]

sweet. im probably going to end up ordering from IH UK soon. is there much variance among the tagged sizes – would it be worth requesting a larger 33? or is this run pretty consistent?

[Giles]

Always worth asking.  The jean are always plus or minus Japanese seamstress tolerances….

Too late for the photo competition but I got married on Friday in my Triple Sixes.
Should we start an Iron Heart weddings thread? I can't be the only one …

Great pic mate, well done!

Fantastic photo @Goldtop!  Many congratulations to you and your beautiful bride.

@Goldtop
Not only did you get married in your 666s (now that's what I call denim commitment!) but their fit is sensational and together with those biker boots….woof! Seriously impressed. Congratulations, have a very happy honeymoon, and give the devils hell!

Well, here we go: first post!

Just got my first Iron Heart and start to break them in from today on. Will post the progress on a regular basis.
First steps:

• ordered under the advice of Giles a pair of 666-S (size 35) and 555-01 (34)
• received the package two days later. Great service for a shipping form the UK to Cologne, Germany
• fitting test: both denims fit perfectly, keeping in mind that the 666 needs a pre-soak
• soaking the 666 for about an hour at 40-50 degrees and letting it dry hanging
• next fitting test: the 666 fits just fine but could need some extra shrinking as I expect it to stretch during the next weeks
• breaking them in, feeling good 

Until soon, Markus

Looking good Markus….

Markus,
18oz will shrink more with agitation. I mean a washing machine

I'm sure any agitation is good…
Im exited to spot the Eames Lounge Chair in the background. A design icon that I'm in love with since my early youth.

Oddly enough I saw it too. I've actually been trolling ebay looking for a good vintage example!

Just an FYI I will be your competition

So is it safe to say that all dimensions except knee down will stretch back charted size after soak?

[Giles]

Only the horizontal measurements and only if there is sufficient pressure.  Rise won't stretch back and nor will thigh if there is no pressure…G

Restocked…
