IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Man hadn't worn these in a minute and slapped them back on with my IHB-08. Totally rad. After wearing 21oz for some years now, I have to wear 25oz to feel like I'm wearing heavy duty denim…

…hello blokes,
just soaked my first pair of Iron Hearts after three weeks of wear, pulled them out of the tub and the outside rivet of my change pocket came off.
Do I need a special tool to get that back on or just a tack hammer?
Thoughts?
Thanks ,Rory

Hi Rory.
Where did you buy them from? I’d recommend you send pictures to the place of purchase and enquire about a repair. If it was IHUK I’m sure they will be right on it.
That being said, a tack hammer and some sort of punch maybe enough.

Hey Neph93,
right after I posted I figured Id YOUTUBE it! Seems doable. Rather not send it across the pond twice for such a little thing.
Have a denim shirt currently ordered ( oh, and yes IHUK ). I wonder if its possible to get 1-2 of the brass/copper rivets sent with my order?
Anyway, thanks.

Understood.
Get in touch with IHUK, I’m sure they’ll be happy to help if they can.

Really sorry that this happened. The rivets very occasionally fail on the 25oz, but it's not something we can see in QC.
Drope shop@ironheart.co.uk a note and we include a few with your shirt.
Thanks for being so nice about it.

…as they say, 'sh*t happens'. Turns out my buddy has the tool to attach the rivet! ( old hot rod upholsterer )!
Actually I ripped the left rear pocket of my jeans trying to shimmy by a piece of equipment at work, about 2 inches of the lower outside pocket, material is fine just the threads pulled out, and I just about cried. I mean I've only had these pants about a month! Well guess what? Same buddy to the rescue and he sewed them up perfectly with the same color thread and everything!
Dodging bullets left and right!
All good, thanks Guys!

…going to attempt to post a pic of 'Moi' in the super monster killer 634 XHS jeans. These were brand new with no soak at the time of this pic.
…gotta toughin' up to break in these babies! I've been a Levi's 505'er for the majority of my life, no more!
...have a pair of 555'er's on the way that I had hemmed and their going to be a closer fit to what I'm used to but I do like these 'old schoolers'! 25oz! Tough Stuff!!

Great pic @vaquero357

…thanks motojobobo!

I received a pair of these from Iron Heart today in a tag size 33". The 'actual waist measurement' is apparently 34" but my own measurements of the jeans suggests smaller (which is fine).
Just wondering, how much stretch have people got out of these in the waist? Is an inch realistic?
I have a feeling these jeans are going to be absolutely perfect. The 'holy grail', if you will.

One inches I would says, do some squat.
After just 30 minutes or so, they're already feeling better.
I think they'll ideally stretch 0.75" to 1" in the waist.
I've left them 37" in length so that I double cuff. I want some nice weighty cuffs to go with big boots.
These jeans are so awesome.

Ive gotten close to 1" of stretch in my XHS.
If you need 1.5" more in the waist it sounds like you may need to size up?

I actually went back and edited my post. I think they'd be too baggy in the waist if I gained 1.5". I actually think these should be the perfect size (after a few weeks), i.e. with an extra inch of room in the waist. I could do with losing a few pounds of excess beer anyway, so it's all good. The fit is spot on in the thigh, knee, etc.
I'll try to post some photos soon.

@going_to_battle They’ll shrink between one half an inch to one inch with a wash/soak and stretch out an inch.

This is what I struggle with though….
Based upon the comments above, if I wear them for a few months, the waist should stretch about 1".
When I eventually wash/soak them, if the waist shrinks an inch, won't that take them back to their current (i.e. brand new) waist? It shouldn't shrink them to even smaller than they are now, right?
