Iron Heart 633s-OD Overdyed Straight Tapered Jean & 666s-PD Currency Denim Jeans
One of the most unique things which Iron Heart was doing ten years ago was overdying their heavy weight denim. They were able to create a super unique fabric by taking their denim and garment dying it in black pigment dye, the polyester core stitching wouldn't take the dye color so you still got a little bit of contrast from the constructional stitching. Over the years some of the best examples of worn in jeans we've seen have been from Iron Heart's overdyed range. We're happy to announce that we are releasing a new version using their 18 ounce denim as the base denim cut into their very popular straight tapered 633 fit.
We've also received Iron Heart's new 666s-PD jean. With this new denim they’ve taken the warp yarn from their 18oz denim and woven it with a weft yarn made of Japanese Yen currency pulp. These jeans are literally made of cash money. The reasoning behind this is that currency pulp is stronger than cotton so while the warp is made of the cotton yarn used for their 18oz denim jeans the weft is a super light weight currency pulp that’s been spun into yarn, in the end the denim clocks in at 14oz per square yard. What you have is a lighter weight (especially for Iron Heart) denim that is super strong due to the currency pulp weft.
Both of these jeans are available now in small numbers at all of our stores.

Was thinking the same thing. I'm a sucker for OD

I'm curious which 18 oz of the IH lineup was used.
The base 18oz denim is from the 666s: http://www.selfedge.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=678
Because of how much the overdye process shrinks the fabric it's nice to start with something with a more abrasive hand-feel so that when the denim is overdyed you're left with something that still has some weave unevenness to it. -
Hey @kiya any chance you are going to stock the long sleeve version of The Flathead 'mystery train' dobby stripe shirt?

Studio D'Artisan Memphis x Zimbabwe Jeans, Natural Indigo Hank-Dyed Jeans, & Steel Buckle Belts
Studio D'Artisan is an especially exciting brand for us because of how well they still push the envelope for a brand that's been around since the late 70's. This month we've receive two very special new jean models and a new belt in two colors.
Studio D'Artisan's newest denim is a 50/50 blend of Memphis and Zimbabwe cotton fibers. Memphis cotton is known for its short staple giving the fabric a slubby look while Zimbabwe cotton is known for its long staple giving the fabric a soft hand. The blend of these two gives the denim a unique hand feel while allowing the short staple to peek through for a little bit of slub action.
For this year's natural indigo dyed jean SDA has made the heaviest weight denim they've ever done using this method of indigo hank dying. Normally a jean like this will top out at about 16oz but they've produced one which clocks in at 18.5oz.
Both of these jeans along with two new steel buckle belts are available now at all of our stores and in our online store.

Cheers @manufc10 and @illo59.
I'm blown away by the fabric–both look and feel. I was pleasantly surprised by the black/blue hue created by the indigo peaking through the OD.
Looking forward to the new evo process.And thanks to @bloodnthunder for the cuff technique--so glad I didn't get these hemmed!

the black/blue tint looks so good: i'm sure they'll show a great & beautiful evo! also i'll always prefer to cuff my pants like that too, if length and weight allows and won't result in big bulky monster cuffs.
damn, i'm so hot for these pants now, i hope i can resist. can't justify another pair right now.

Seriously, same here. I want these bad but damn the 170 is coming Monday and I'm trying to save money. I also don't really need another pair of jeans but hell…that's probably all of us here.
