      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 …

                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!

                Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                  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

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

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

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

                                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

                                    Thanx! Yeah, it is an Eames Chair plus Ottoman and for me it is one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture ever designed. My favourite place in my apartment.
                                    As for the 666-S: I gave it a second soak with a little higher temperature (45 degress, it was nearly impossible to reach a higher temperature in my bathtub) for only 30 minutes and it worked quite well and fits my 4.5 year-old Iron Rangers pretty perfect. The next months this little devil needs to live without any water to fade like hell 😉

                                    Giles: thanx for the perfect advices on fitting!

                                          Sadly the compression in instagram sucks….. Guess I need to resize it alot myself before I try to upload it. 🙂
