      @Bums_Fan:

      additional belt loops

      I would disagree with this just because I don't like the way it looks when jeans get too "loopy," for lack of a better word. Any time I see more than five, I'm always like "why did they do that?" What can I say — I'm a minimalist 😉

        This may be one of those waist size dependent things.  Could very well be off base on this, but my theory is larger waist size = more loops.  Another theory is lack of “booty” i.e. flat butt = more belt loops.

          See I find I need more loops because of the booty. It pulls down the back rise of my pants much faster cause of the friction. Always end up with the jeans getting pulled down below the belt and weird bunching in the back.

            We definitely used to put more loops in the 42 and 44 IH-634S, I am not sure if that carried over to other models/cuts when we went large all over the place.

              Hook Closure on the Chino:
              The actual hook only goes through the inner white fabric of the waistband, creating a stupid look pulling it to the outside when under tension.
              Hidden behind the belt, it's not really noticeable, though. The rest of the Chino doesn't feel like I should have sized up.
              I think it would be better if there was an additional layer of the chino cloth on the inside of the waistband through which the hook is also is attached.

                  I would be cool with a few extra belt loops…seems like most of the work pants have 7 loops. I go TTS so eventually I end up with a bit of extra material that tends to sag below my belt.

                    Make the hems little smaller  . Now days , typical hem size is no bigger  than 7” or max 7.5”
                    777 , 555s are 8.5” or more for size 38. Obviously the entire jeans size appropriately to accommodate 8.7 or 8.8” hems. 8.8 or 9” doesn’t go well with today fashion .

                    I think pure blue Japan sort out sizing for “slim tapered fit” beautifully.

                          Tapered legs have been in for about 15 years now and I think they're getting pretty tired. I'm personally glad IH makes jeans I can fit my foot through at the bottom. The Hypebeast crowd has plenty of options out there.

                          Who knew this thread would contain my most opinionated takes? 😃

                            Nobody is comparing you with PBJ.
                            I have 16 pair of jeans , 8x IH and 8xPBJ.
                            I was only referencing the fit . That’s all

                              I’m not so sure about that. Looking at IG, a lot of people and retailers including SelfEdge’s show straight legs. Personally I dont think they’ll ever not be in style. Just my opinion for what it’s worth.

                                I was talking to friend recently about this very topic, and my feeling is that due to the internet and trends being smaller but more numerous, you see things hang around a lot longer than they did in the past. I'd say previously a pervasive style might last 5 years or a little more, then it'd be on to something new. I feel like now, the transitions between shifts are much more blurred, and trends live a lot more concurrently.

                                Anyhoo, I'm rambling. I think it's an interesting topic, though.

                                  Straight leg jeans will always be “in.”  I think 634 sales would back this up.  After all 501s have been popular for what?  A jillion years?

                                    Also, though I’ve never met the man I could only imagine Haraki’s response to being asked to keep with current fashion trends.  It would be similar to Giles’ I’d think.

                                        Agreed. Straight legs are like Chucks, Wayfarers, white (or black) tees, leather jackets. Timeless.

                                          The two brands that I have the ultimate respect for are Iron Heart and Harley-Davidson,and it’s no small coincidence that they are connected. One of the things that I admire about both brands is that even though they continue to grow and evolve,they don’t loose their identities,what inherently makes them who they are. This year Harley came out with an Adventure Touring bike,a major departure for them but the bike is still a Harley. And as Iron Heart continues to stretch it’s fashion legs,so to speak,everything they’ve come out with is unmistakably IH,and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
