Ah, now I see where the confusion is. I was referring to the Western shirt having its origins with American Pioneers, not flannel. But, it seems it goes even further back to Mexican cattle herders.

Yes, The IH-666S. It was my first attempt at designing a jean and speccing a denim…..
I recently got a 666S-18 and am in love with the fit, it has knocked off Levis 501 from the 1st spot for me, no doubt its a very flattering yet functional fit. Only gripe is I did not dare to get it in the 21 oz
because 666S-18 in W34 has thigh measurement of 12" but 666S-21 W33 ( actual waist is 34") has a thigh measurement of 11.5, that is ridiculously tight even for an average guys with quite slimmer legs :[img alt="IH-Comparions.png"]https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ihf-images/231/14320/0ec9d987-34ef-4928-9522-50863a4f2052.png
WHY ?

All the 666 cuts work for me. Guess why? Yep, I designed them for me. If by happy coincidence, you are a similar shape to me, then you're in luck, if you aren't sorry. I asked Haraki f a particular new release was coming in ladies sizes recently, he shrugged and said "If Tom wants one, we will"…. We try not to abuse our privilege, but it is our playground
We obviously strive for consistency across the same cut type, but this is not an exact science and sometimes we really screw up. But we try to play that to ours and yours advantage, by having variance in sizing across the same cut in different denims, or indeed the same cut in the same denim, we can find a pair that suits more people....

This is really important. My body shape means anything slim can be an issue in the thigh, while wide straight cuts can make me look short and blocky. With research and the help of IHUK I own, wear and enjoy at least one each of the major IH cuts with the exception of the 777 (I’ll crack that cut one day too).

Too bad, you could rather make something for yourself any time.

…. That makes sense, but you should consider uping 666S-21's thighs by a bit for the masses and get an exclusive custom pair with gold lining for yourself. ... thats just my thought, but you are a better judge.

I was gonna start a thread about his. But maybe I shouldn't? I've often wondered: does Iron Heart 21oz denim have the softest hand of any Japanese denim? My overalls are so crazy soft now. All over. I doubt how there could be anything softer and silkier. I realize this topic is highly subjective. But please feel free to chime in what you all think.
-
From wear 1 yes, after a couple of hundred wears i’d argue that both the UHR and 25oz get softer…..sweatpants soft as I call it.
-
Plus, the washed/ unsaforised 21oz from the Pronto collaboration is even softer than the normal after some wear.

could I or anyone the mods see fit please be granted limited access to clean up Buying and Selling?
I visit the thread all the time looking for a good deal and it is just a little cluttered at the moment, IMHO.
Before this place exploded with members a mod would perform maintenance every couple of months and I just want to stream line it for clarities sake and my own selfish needs.
Please and thanks

I am wanting to die a denim jacket of mine with black dylon die in order to achieve the blackest results. I have two jackets to consider one of which is ecru and the other is white. I assume the white jacket has been died white already whereas the ecru is a natural state?
Which jacket would end up the darkest, can anyone help?
) too. Lol
