Introduce Yourself Here
-
Hi everyone, long-time-lurker, first-time-poster/registerer here.
Have finally saved up enough in my
running awayPayPal account from selling sundry bits and bobs and am in now a position to pull the trigger on my first pair of Iron Hearts – hallelujah!My current (read: only) go-to denim is a pair of 19oz Lee101Z that I snagged a while back. I’m really enjoying giving them a beating, but it occurs to me that I really ought to have a second pair (of decent jeans) so I can rotate/prolong lifespans…
The current measurements of the Lees suggest the closest match, fit-wise, would be something from the 634 family. However, I do find that the 101Zs have loosened up considerably (tag size was 34; real size (IH-method-measured) now is c37”…), and I really miss the fit and feeling of the Lees in their early days. They had a great fitted feel to them – which then naturally leads me to be inclined towards the fit of the 666 family (incidentally, the 21oz in both). And no, unfortunately I neglected to measure them pre-soak/wear
Does anyone else on the forum have any experience of the 101Z cut? Would be very interested to compare experiences.
Current stats of the Lees:
- Waist: 37 (there’s definitely some spare room in there!)
Front rise: 11.75
Rear rise: 16.5 (happy to shave an inch here)
Hem: 8.3
Thigh: 13
Knee: 9.5 (oh boy, the knee-bags drove me CRAZY, I was so frustrated)
Inseam: 31.5 (I was surprised how much was lost in the length (I believe they’d have been 34” originally (again, like a noob, I didn’t measure pre-soak)))
From the specs of the 666S-21, I’d imagine the 34-tagged pairs are going to be the size and fit I’m after, with the 35-measured waist giving way in time to a more friendly 36-odd. It’s the thigh that I need to keep an eye on, right?
And to throw a spanner in the works, I’m also eyeing up the 666SII too… (which, by all accounts, are shrinker-stretchers, as opposed to just-stretchers).
Anyway, I’ve taken up enough of the forum with my first post. Any thoughts and suggestions gratefully received. And to be honest, with the phenomenal Iron Heart sizing/returns deal, I can’t really go far wrong, eh?

Hi guys , also new member here.
Welcome, dude. I too was a Stussy whore in my youth (that was long, long ago).
Enjoy the forum, and don't be afraid to ask questions…

Aetas: Does long, long time ago mean you are .... old? You should have told us before mate :D!
Congrats for MOD status by the way :-*.I've got quite a few years on @SoulAzzazzin at least :o
Cheers, for that. It's going to be fun I think

Hello everyone,
New to IH, not so new to denim. Just got my first pair recently (IH-777S-21BLK) and haven’t managed to convince myself to wear anything else since. Besides denim, I also have what my significant other claims is an excessive collection of Danner boots (most recently the Mountain Light II Black “Bond boots”).
Looking forward to contributing what I can to the forums.
Cheers,

Welcome @YesBlank , glad to have you.

Hello, new to both raws (since last November) and Iron Heart.
I've bought a few 2nd hand and love how nice the fabric is compared to some other pairs I have.
Currently trying to wear out a pair of Sage Wolfbergs (Indonesian brand). They got all the details but aren't as nice as IH.
For reference, I have IH 1955S, 666XHS, and just purchased 634SV which I have yet to receive.
Looking forward to interacting with the IH family and community.

Welcome. Quite a collection of denim, and fits. 21oz flagship, in a repro cut. 25oz slim straights. And, 18oz raws, in straight fashion. A great start, indeed.

welcome bud. @Dr_games

Hello. Just received my first pair of IH. With the help of Sam I ended up with a pair of 666S-18. I think the fit is great as is the denim.
