      @cander49:

      I've mostly worn 17-19 oz denim before, always RH twill. I was thinking I'd do 21 next time, since I had heard that these are pretty soft even in the heavier fabrics, though I guess even 25 could possibly work. Options…

      I could talk all day about the different IH denims but I'll keep it short here. I think you'll find them quite different from PBJ and Sammy's. The 21oz is pretty unique because of Haraki-san's vision of what it should be. That alone makes it different from what Samurai and PBJ do. The 25oz is just out of this world, but the "lighter" IH denims  between 14-19oz are also all unique and interesting in their way. Personally I think the 17oz natty indigo "N" denim doesn't get the love it deserves.

        Hi all,

        A good friend turned me on to this great forum.

        I look forward to learning and laughing with all of you passionate and experienced folks.

        I am from Oakland Ca, main clothing interests are in Military wear and Ivy but I get obsessed with other things quickly and am open to everything. Otherwise I hang with my kids, cook and stay sober.

        Thanks for the warm welcome.

        Cheers,

        Patrick

            Hi everyone,

            I joined SUFU in 2012 (same username) and made this account more recently, but was never the most active poster due to a busy (but not always exciting) life.  I decided to go for the DWC to get more involved with a community of people with this similar interest, so I'd like to introduce myself here as I plan to post more regularly, especially with updates to the DWC.

            I live in Cambridge, MA. The Boston area has so much to offer in terms of culture as well as wonderful outdoor spaces, whether it's parks, the common & public garden, or just streets and neighborhoods. I grew up listening to hardcore punk and playing in bands, and still make an effort to go to shows and am trying to get a new project off the ground.

            I love cooking and coffee, beer and red wine.  My wife and I both work in education, and have a boston terrier named Fig Newton.

            Cheers!

            Harry

                  Hello from Alaska!

                  I'm not new to denim but I believe my quest for quality shirting has landed me here.

                  I'm a sole proprietor of a private sanctuary for the western boreal wood frog.
                  When I am not tending to my toads I'm drink' black coffee, fly' the flannel and waiting for records to arrive in the mail.

                        My long description was nuked 😠

                        In a nutshell, it's not a job.
                        I advocate for their protection on my property from over zelious neighbors who wish to develop adjoining land.
                        The wood frog is fairly common but its environment and habitats are protected.
                        From my research the concentration levels I have never been recorded, normally an army or two is concidered huge, on my property I would estimate several regiments.  In the height of their breeding season their singing can be defining and it is amazing!

                              How's it going everybody?  I bought my first pair of Iron Heart jeans in early August this year, IH 634S-B's to ne exact. I have given them some serious asswhop in the 2.5 months I have owned them, I'm an aircraft mechanic that does mainly sheet metal work and l always end up with aluminum shavings and dust embedded in my jeans. Needless to say, working in gross smelly airplanes have rendered my 634S-B's super smelly so I decided to give them a premature wash due to the funk they developed working inside some really gross airplanes. I took a few photos of them before I threw them in the wash so here they are, if I can get them uploaded.

                              Once they are out of the wash and dried, I'll post up some more photos.  All I can say is that these are the best quality jeans I have ever worn.

                              Waiting for my wallet to allow me to purchase the 634-XHS

                                        There's nothing premature about washing jeans that smell disgusting.  Don't feel like you have to wear jeans for X number of months before washing.  You won't "ruin" them.  If anything, you'll make them last longer and get to enjoy them more. Certainly other people will enjoy being around you more if they're clean(ish).
