      Scarpa is his most common sneaker-ish footwear brand.

      thanks reuben!

      Maybe so. Maybe not

        @sethatwork:

        For the people who repair their Iron Hearts theirselves, I seem to have developed a few holes in my 21oz OD's that I wish to patch, do you people use any scrap, or do you use denim, and if you use denim, do you use 21oz denim? If so, where do you source it? My left knee has worn thin to the point in 2 places where I can see my leg, and then the butt has a hole starting to form, and would prefer to take care of that before you can actually tell its my underwear underneath haha.

        I always use IH denim, but that is because I can. The majority of my jeans are hemmed to 31.5” and the guys always send the cut off. I save them. I don’t necessarily use the same denim for the patch.

        At the end of the day, anything with a bit of resilience will do.

                Has anyone ever just got in the tub with their jeans on, and just wear them dry?? I've done it with lesser jean, but the XHS is a whole other animal.

                  What I do is that when they’re about 50% dry on the drying rack is put them on for about 15-30 minutes and then wait for them to fully dry. That gives them the 3D effect and gets your shape in without having to wear wet jeans for an hour.  If you want to do the full on dry more power to you! I’d pick a hot sunny day and start in the morning!

                    Thanks!! That would be sound advice!! I think wearing them after they are partially dry would do the trick!!

                      @Bustdnukles I've tried it in the past and ended up with saggy knees as they stretched out too much whilst drying. I suspect there's also more chance of fade shift doing this. Not the end of the world, and they went back after another wash, but I just hang mine out to dry somewhere warm and well ventilated not and put them back on dry.

                        Thank you sir! I have about 4 days in them, can finally get them buttoned without the use of a mini shoehorn I fashioned. I'll probably do like you said, just rinse, air dry, wash'em when they get ripe!

                          Where can I find decent boxer briefs? I've been upping my wardrobe and undies are next in line. Anyone have suggestions/favorite brands? I know IH does not make any…

                              @Oaktavia I am kind of partial to Mack Weldon Airknit 8" leg boxer briefs. Perfect for under ultra heavy jeans. I think the other ones are kind of shit. But the Airknit hold up well… https://mackweldon.com/products/airknitx-8-inch-boxer-brief

                              I really like the longer legs on these. they give you a free pair if you get them and you don't like them. Return the others and keep the ones your tried on.

                                @Oaktavia I grew up with Hanes and Fruit of the loom boxer briefs and that's all I knew.

                                Then I tried Duluth Trading Company "Buck Naked" Underwear version and that's all I wear now. They're great for any weather, never stretch or sag, and wash back to brand new for years and years. The waist bands are firm and well made and hold their shape.

                                these are the specific ones I wear and they are great for any weather, especially the hot sweaty days.

                                    @jordanscollected I was actually hoping Duluth would get mentioned because I did order a fee pairs of theirs. I didn't get enough to replace all of my cheapo ones though, so I'll check out @Filthy 's suggestion too. Just curious, why do you like the longer beliefs, Mike? Is it so that they don't get bunched up when pulling up pants?
