IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Bob]

There was no round three.

I am putting these up for sale and going larger on this or something else in the Iron Heart line.

Iron Heart quality is obviously first-rate all around, but the jeans' proportions aren't compatible with my own. The fit in the waist, legs, seat, and all else is perfect, but there is simply zero gonad room. I was beginning to call these my Birth Control Jeans (BCJs), a reference to the abuse I was taking in that area. (I have two sons already so perhaps I shouldn't care, but life is too short for that kind of punishment!)

In summary, I am selling these 31x34 IH-634, if anyone is interested.

(Sir Giles, might it be possible to consign them at your shop? Thanks for considering it.)

Now–what Iron Heart model to replace them with? I am going to have to live with something that's at least a little too large everywhere else . . .

666-XHS has a higher rise…

Useful info, Seul. Thanks.

Just checked out the 666-XHS, and it looks interesting. I begin to think I'd have to go 33 or 34 in those to avoid a repeat fit issue. I'm used to slim fits, but the legs are usually snug when that cut of jeans fit properly everywhere else.

I'm 73 inches tall, very lean (156lbs), with thick and very long legs (former athlete–guess which sport).

Most slim jeans that fit me are 31x34.

(I suppose I should move this discussion to the proper forum . . . )

Bob , fancy a drink later  …? We can discuss denim and it's various usages and fade properties ...

[Bob]

You're on. (And that photo is frameable . . .)

@NorthernVictory:

Allison Stokke?

She and Murielle Ahouré are the only reasons you'll find me glued to the screen during the Olympics or indoor events…

[Giles]

Murielle heard you…...

[Seul]

Poor piglet…

[Bob]

Ah! It is good to be among sports fans.

@Giles:

There is nothing planned.  I will sit down with H in November and have a chat…....

I'd be willing to go full-blown 25 oz 'Canadian Tuxedo' if you made a 25 oz shirt/jacket. Or part with more money if you made another color/warp weft combination.

[Giles]

Never say never, but a jacket is highly unlikely to happen.  Jackets are more complicated to make than jeans, I would not even risk the withering look from Haraki by asking.

[fanya]

SE made a jacket out of their 23oz denim, is the 25oz denim really that much more unworkable?  Just curious, I'd pick up a 25oz jacket too possibly for the DT if the sizing was right, although you have already pretty much stated it isn't happening

[Giles]

I never thought H would agree to the 23…....The 25 is much tougher stuff

[Bob]

Zero interest in my slightly used 31x34 BCJs in the secondary market, so I suppose I will keep them and give them hard but occasional wear, and at some point discover my personal limits as regards sustained compression in the "gentlemen's area".

Again, full marks for quality and fit in every other aspect.
