      I've gotten a tab bit of shrinkage in the length from washing my 21oz.

        How do you usually wash yours?

        I generally wash in the bath at a fairly low temp and hang dry or 30c in machine no spin cycle.

        Will probably wash these in the bath and I might make sure I stretch inseam before they dry just to be sure!

          I chuck them in the machine on 30 or 40 depending on how dirty they are. Always line dry.

            I have never got any shrinkage in the length on any of my pairs in the 21oz. I have washed them hot with high spin and never noticed it.
            I wouldn’t worry yours will be fine.

                I hand wash them in the bath, low temp, hang dry.  Like I said it's a very small amount of shrinkage and I'm sure you'll be fine.  I can only really notice it because of the cuff line.  I cuff my jeans and wearing them for an extended period before the first soak sets a line where the cuff folds.  After the first wash I end up having to cuff just a tad bit lower than initial line that was set pre soak…if that makes sense.

                  On this topic…  How much length do the 'combs tend to take off with the 21oz?  Half-inch-ish?

                    I usually get a solid .5 inch of shrinkage 🤷🏽‍♀️

                      Yeah, -ish. It’s barely worth considering.

                          Hi all,

                          Looking for an objective opinion on these. They don't feel too tight and I have plenty of mobility, but wanted to see what others thought. I think they make look a little better when they get hemmed up to the right length, but wanted to check here before I do that. The thighs aren't as wide as I'd like, but if this cut doesn't work for me, no IH cuts will.

                            They look good to me @Chad , if they don't feel tight I say hem and wear.

                            Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                            Well, I have others.

                              @Chad  that looks a very good 888 fit to me. The hemming will make them feel much more natural and this is the 21oz denim so the thighs will stretch out a little and relax as will the waist. I’d be very pleased with that fit.

                                I think that's a pretty good fit as is, and like neph says, the 21 oz denim is good for some stretch some in the thighs, if you're worried about that area.  They'll settle in nicely after a hem.

                                  Thank you all for the feedback. Threw them on again this morning and decided to stick with them. Going to get a hem and will report back.

                                    Why is there nothing on these jeans like the tag that has 21 oz and there is no care stamp on the pocket noticed no pocket stamp on the 1955, I actually like the stamp just like the fleece shirts?

                                        It's those little details that are part of the reason I and others love Iron heart especially when you consider the high price of iron heart. The flat head has little details like the stamped custom-made brass buckles on the belts and boots. Stamping their logo into their belts and not just using a gold ink stamp that wears off. Sounds petty I know.

                                          I too like and appreciate the stamp on the pockets of IH bottoms. Just like the hidden selvedge fly it adds character but can only be seen by the wearer himself.

                                            Hey All,

                                            Hoping for some honest feedback:
                                            I recently discovered the 888 to be the most comfortable fit, due to my thick thighs, but wondering if straight cuts are really my only option…

                                            As you can see in the pics, the taper below the knee (from the side) causes a ‘carrot’ looking silhouette.

                                            I also have some 634s which I love, but the leg opening on them feels closer to a boot cut.

                                            Any suggestions or feedback? Size up? Different cut?

                                            Thank you!
