Doubtful. That fabric was what was made before the loom broke. The loombreakers broke the loom, so more selvedge duck for you. Although I suspect a 555 fit in duck could be re-named The Ballbreaker….

I have unbreakables balls, and i'am ready to try a sample

Hi, this is my first post so please excuse me if I say/do anything wrong. I was just wondering what the details on these jeans were like? Things like stitches per inch (STI), different materials used for the jeans, physical features, etc. Basically I'm asking to what extent these are "over-engineered". Thanks

[Giles]

Basically they are just a pair of jeans beautifully made out of 21oz denim.  Stitches per inch vary depending upon the function/seam.

If you can find an opportunity to view IH products in-person you will immediately see the difference in material and quality of construction vs. non-premium denim brands.

This is an old reddit post but Giles put some good answers on what makes IH different and I think one comment talks about the quality of the threads. I don't know that this will answer your questions about IH but it definitely helped me justify the price for buying a pair. http://www.reddit.com/r/rawdenim/comments/1v4988/giles_padmore_of_iron_heart_ama/

IH denim, according to R&H, is made from extra long staple cotton. Extra long staple cotton holds dye better, wears harder (some say by about +50%), is softer, retains suppleness better over time, and can be spun looser while retaining strength. IH's flagship 21oz denim is great stuff with fluffy 2-ply weft and fade retardant resin coating which enhances fade contrast. The jeans are stitched together with super thick thread that has a nice cotton shine to it. All hardware looks, feels, and functions beautifully. Back pockets have hidden rivets and reinforcement stitching which seems to prevent that annoying pocket blowout that happens with lesser jeans. Leather patches on IH jeans are made of really nice leather and get better with age.
In short, every single detail is over-engineered, but not only over-engineered… also quite comfortable and nice looking.

Might work for my buddy in a sz 34. He is normally a sz 33, but wants a 34" waist with 12"-ish thigh and narrow hem. He has a true 33" waist but has ulcerative colitis which causes him a lot of bloating and pain so tight waistlines dont work. Any chance you guys could get him the size 34 with measurements closest to these? Thanks in advance.

Restocked…..Same measurements as previous run....

[vittel]

Hey guys, after reading about how much they can stretch, I am unsure of how I should size for these. I've got cycling legs so thighs will be my main concern.

My current pair measures:
Waist: 31"
Front rise: 9.25"
Rear rise: 13.75"
Thigh: 11.75"
Knee: 7.5"
Hem: 6.75"
Inseam: 31"

Any advice is appreciated!

[Giles]

Simple. Dont.

You'll need a tag size 29 or 30 and the thigh on those will never stretch as much as you need.
