IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
If they are already a little snug then, like Peter said, a cold soak with minimal agitation is the way to go. You should then be able to stretch them past the pre-soak measurements if needs be, although you might have to work at it for the first few hours…

Brilliant thanks @Winchy

18 oz denim is so nice oh with knee repairs
-
I was putting them away for warmer weather, but then cooler weather came back. My favorite jeans in my Iron Heart rotation
-
Yeah, Monday, these are truly great.
I probably would have considered leaving them unrepaired and rock the torn look in my off hours. But I fully understand that you can put them to more use this way, repair was also excellently done! -
Yes, thanks for sharing @madmonday ! These pics have made it clear that my next pair must be the 18oz'ers.

I am here to seek advice from this assemblage of the worlds finest denim aficionados.
I am about to pull the trigger on my first pair of IH Jeans and having read this thread I am no closer to feeling comfortable with sizing. Any advice would be appreciatedI currently own 3sixteens, with one being unsanforized and the other sanforized. They are both sized 34.
Measurements are
316+ 316 st220X
waist= 34 Waist = 35
FR= 10.5 FR= 11
RR= 15 RR=14.5
th= 12 Th= 12.25
kn= 9 Kn= 8.5
hem= 7.5 Hem = 7.5The 316+ are well worn and I would be a touch happier if they were a hair roomier in the waist and upper block. I have looked and looked at the measurements of the 36&34 and I am torn. I am leaning towards a little more room accommodate my size, so am thinking the 36 with a good hot soak would be good. I just really don't know and I am trying to avoid the return shipping for an exchange…
I defer to you group of experts in all things Iron Heart and am hoping you can steer me in the right direction so I can begin my obsession with IH pants (I'm already an avid fan of the tops).
Thank You! -
Measured the way we measure?

Hi @boognish
Sam here… the guy whose legs are in the pics on the website.
Just wanted to drop my 2 cents on the situation. The 555-02's were my first ever IH's too and i love them.
I've just had a quick read of your messages and i think you'd be better off with the tag 33's. You said you wanted a bit extra space in the waist and they'll still fit you nicely in the thighs.Go for it buddy. You won't be disappointed.
