      I've found my cut.
      The slightly higher rise does it, better for riding a mc and slightly narrower hem also.

      What I was wondering is that has there beeen some sort of change in something as these won't stand alone even after a wash? Or do I remember wrong and it's only heavier stuff that stands on their own (I heven't been paying attention to changes in ages)

        Totally agree about the cut, I hope it survives a bit longer.

        I think the 21oz won't stand on it's own as it is heavy, but not rigid. The 18oz will though.

          21oz will not stand on its own and never has been able to.  18, UHR and 25 will….

              My new Busters, arrived yesterday from Sweden, rocked before me by @Aieyric. They are a W 31 and provide what I'd describe as a relaxed tight fit.

              First attempt at using the cam in my updated tablet, so any inferiorities I hope will be excused.
              As you can see, these jeans have a knack to make the wearer levitate.

                  @Winchy  How is the sizing on this lot? Same as the last one? The last lot was seriously undersized….[emoji16]

                    They're very similar to the previous batch, hence the sizing chart wasn't updated. The normal variance is there too so let me know if there is anything specific you'd like me to look for.

                                  Hi folks,

                                  I just picked up my very Iron Hearts, bagging a sweet deal on a brand new pair of 21oz BBs. Size 32s.

                                  Here’s a few initial fit pics. I guess I need to wear them in home to make them less stiff. They aren’t totally uncomfortable.

                                  I am wonder what the stretch is likely to be in the thigh, and too the waist. Additionally, input on how to cold wash these (and hopefully stretch out in these areas simultaneously) would be greatly appreciated.

                                    The fit looks good for 21 oz. They will stretch plenty in the waist and thighs, with wear. I’m surprised they feel stiff.  21 oz flagship IH denim is the softest heavyweight there is!

                                      For a newbie to heavyweight denim, I imagine even the 21oz denim probably feels stiff if you’re used to Levi’s or whatever. @octopus_luke don’t worry, after you’ve worn them for a week they will have softened up substantially and stretched everywhere they need to. You’ll love them.

                                        Thanks guys.

                                        Stiff is probably the wrong word. They of course don’t feel broken in. I’ve only had one other pair of 21oz, and those were Lee 101Z riders. From memory, they were a lot tougher.

                                        Any wash tips on these too? Someone mentioned soaking the waistband and upper thigh on here, but I wonder if I should run them through a cold soak first. Definitely need to bring up the leg a little, so I guess a wash first is important.

                                          No need to wash or soak the 21oz flagship denim, unless you want to. Won’t get any significant shrink in any dimensions

                                            Hey folks

                                            Getting on well with these, but I’m wondering if anyone has inout or advice on how to stretch out the top box/rise? I hope that this will naturally come with time, but I am curious to see if there’s anything I can do to aid the process. Right now, I have a bit of pressure around this crotch area, and probably wouldn’t find it comfortable to out anything in the front pockets.
