        I’m actually surprised so many PHD candidates google “how to pay for PhD thesis essay”

          My thesis took me years to write. If I just used this service, I could’ve graduated so much sooner! And there would’ve been Pokémon in my thesis, too. Can’t believe I’ve wasted so much time.

                I suspect most PhD theses would be improved through discussions of Pokemon…

                      @seven_bacon Hey dude, I just purchased that same jacket. It just takes time to break in, all you need to do is wear it. The more of often you do, the faster the jacket will break in.

                      edit: just saw your other post- and the answer on that thread is correct, soaking the jacket is key. That member helped me figure out my fit with the same jacket. He knows his stuff alright!

                        @seven_bacon welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your time here and make some new friends.

                        You can dampen up the sleeves if you're going for monster creases/combs on the sleeves and otherwise just wear it.

                          Hello! I'm from the US, and new to Iron Heart but not to raw denim. Seeing all the IH wear photos here and on the Reddit board, I think I've been bitten by the IH bug. So I joined up to research the product line and maybe buy a used piece from this community. I've already learned a ton just lurking around. Thanks

                            Please tell us your name and consider looking at the for sale threads and maybe let us know your current favorite best fitting pair of jeans measurements are when measuring like the video embedded below, and maybe someone might have something for you.

                            Either way, everyone here is awesome and super helpful. So please feel free to ask about anything you might be interested in or want to know about.  🙂

                              @Filthy thanks Mike for the warm welcome. My name is also Mike but I can go by Michael to avoid confusion, or whatever you'd like to call me is fine, you could do like my wife and just call me "lazy SOB"  😞 😞

                              My current pair of jeans are Railcars with ~ 100 wears so they're still in the prime of life. Using the IH measuring method they're 17.5 waist, 10.75 front rise, 15.5 back rise, 12.5 thigh, 8.5 knee, 7.2 hem. Inseam is 30" cuffed to prolly 28". Those jeans are a bit loose on me in the top block but not overly so, and give me a bit of loose diaper ass which is really a problem with all my pants. Below the thigh the fit is perfect. I'm a short dude and I think that the knee/hem measurements on these are perfect.

                              SO what IH cut should I be looking at? Just by browsing around here I've kind of arrived on the idea of either 777 in size 34 or the 555 in 33, in the standard 21-oz indigo version. Does that sound reasonable to you given my current fit? Thanks

                                I am reluctant to to give advice on fit… but maybe @neph93 @Appfaff or @sabergirl can help?

                                  @urrrrgrrrr Good work with your measuring and research.

                                  Unless you have a lot of room in the thigh on your Railcars, I think you're going to struggle with the IH-555s-21 in w33. The thigh on those is very small and the taper in the thigh is mean. Sizing up will probably give you the nappy butt issue as the 555 top block is relaxed. The 777 in W34 sounds like a better shout for you.

                                  I'd also encourage you to look at the IH-888s-21 in a w33. The waist will seem small, but that is deceptive.

                                    Hiya! Welcome to the forum. Those rail cars sound like they’re closest in fit to a 777, to me. Might also have a look at the overdyed NO-LOTs, if those are still around in your size.

                                      @neph93 @sabergirl Thanks for the info! Makes sense that the 777 might be the right choice for me. I am interested in the 888 too, Neph I've seen you recommend that to several other people, but would the relatively high front & rear rise on that cut cause me butt problems, you think? Maybe I'll just try them both out!  Thanks again

                                        So-called diaper butt is a result of a poorly fitted top block, not a high rise. While the 555 and 888 both have high rises, the design of the top block is entirely different. This is also why I advocate sizing down a little on 888’s if possible.

                                          I agree with Neph and Saber! A 777 would work, but the rise would be much lower, but the 888 sounds like the tapered fit you are after!

                                            Happy to join the forum. 38 years old.  Tired of crappy clothes. I have been an Iron Heart fan for quite some time. Starting off the collection with the following:

                                            IHSH-234-BLK
                                            IHSH-276-IND
                                            IHT-1610L (Grey, White, Olive)

                                            Eyeballing the 666 cut for first denim purchase. Ill probably jump on the 21oz Shinayaka when it comes out.

                                            Also a fan of Good Art HLYWD.

                                            Old stuff or really well made modern stuff pretty much sums up my interests. Just took a while to get started on clothing.
