    Hi guys! I'm from Canada and I was very happy to discover Iron Heart denim.

    I had always been a bit of denim head without even realizing it as I coveted selvedge denim since high school. But I never took very good care of them and threw them in the wash after every wear basically. I've currently been rotating around pairs of Momotaros, Tanukis and Evisus.

    I had no idea that such a cool community existed until I was looking for a new pair of jeans and discovered Iron Heart in Vancouver at the Shop. Those jeans were stiff and took a while to put on. Sizing was off but I was determined to find a pair that fit me. I eventually landed on a pair of 888 21oz in size 34 made from the Shinayaka denim. These were hemmed to a slight break over my boots and are absolutely awesome. I love the durability of this denim and could not believe how soft the become as I had a chance to touch a pair of Iron Hearts that were heavily used at the Shop. My jaw dropped.

    What was most surprising to me was that after trying on a few work shirts and jackets from Iron Heart in person, I found out that all the shirts fit my upper body perfectly. I could not believe it. My entire life I had always been between sizes of a M and L. I always sized up so I could layer but everything was always oversized as a result. Iron Heart has been the only brand that has ever made a shirt that fit my body like a glove. The shoulders perfect, sleeve length perfect and chest. That was really good news and bad news for me because I suddenly wound up with a CPO shirt, a ultra heavy weight flannel and the left hand twilled type 3 jacket within the same week…

    I love the fitment of the shirts but I can't wait to get my hands on another pair of 21oz 666s or 777s when they finally restock as I would love to try a more modern and slim fit in this amazing denim. Maybe you guys can suggest a sizing for me.

    I hope to show you guys my growing collection in the future. Thank you!  😉

      Hello Everyone,

      I am Parker and I am from the USA. I have been into raw denim for about 5 years now. I just purchased a pair of the IH-634S-21ib recently.  I am waiting to wear them because I am currently competing for my first time in the indigo invitational with a pair of Left Field 18oz Collect mills slubs in the greaser fit. I plan to wear my Iron Hearts  after the competition is done or maybe for the competition next year. I am also interested in the UHR jeans but as of now I cant justify another jeans purchase with the invitational going on. I own a couple Iron Heart Tops as well one is the IHSH-298-NAV and the other is a IHSH-312-IND that I scored of ebay.

          @happymac:

          Quite an experience for the past two months, not really a smart learning curve, but lesson learned.

          This is pretty standard my friend. No need to feel dumb. In fact it took me a lot longer than that. And after 9 years of wearing IH, my tastes have changed three times too. So I've been through all that more than once  ::)

            Greetings everyone,
            My name is Paul and am signing in from Washington state in the US. I wanted to introduce myself since I've been  browsing the forum off and on over the last year without saying much. Really been enjoying the forum and probably lurking more frequently lately. 🙂  I'm not sure when I first became aware of iron heart, but made my first purchase a little more than a year ago.  I'm in my mid-fortys and glad to find jeans well-made that fit well and are a joy to wear. My go-to fit is 888 at the moment. I have that fit in the SLB and 21OD.  My first purchase was the 634XHS, which has taken its place in the closet during the XHS "off season"…ie summer.  I also have a pair of 555S-21 which are sharing the primary wear time with the 888s this month.  All of which work perfectly well paired with my IHSH-297 or IHSH-30 when the temperature is more appropriate!

                @Mark D Welcome. Is that the Kersey western? I've got the work version if so, and that fabric is amazing. Also looking forward to cooler weather so I can wear all my heavyweight IH stuff!

                Take the dive...

                            Hi there,

                            I'm Rémi 37y old from France

                            I work in R&D for a compagny in the water industry

                            About passions: motorcycles, sports cars, music (I'm a guitarist), blacksmith and also I'm a leathercraftman, my brand is called "Le Poulpe".

                            Concerning Iron Heart, I own some shirts and since there is not so much workwear shops in my area (I live near Geneva, Switzerland), it's kinda difficult to find things to try on and buy directly so thanks to you the IH team to provide us the good stuff 😉

                            See you on the forum,

                            Cheers,

                            Rémi

                                I'd like to buy a 21 or 25oz(why not both  :P) pair of jeans but hard to find around here, maybe soon with my next trip to come in New York.

                                  Both is actually a good call. They are very different denim and you’d be set up for the while year with those two.

                                  I realise jeans are tricky to buy online, but the crew at IHUK really are experts at working this stuff out, and this forum is a treasure trove of knowledge and experience.

                                  What kind of cut do you normally like?

                                          If you have a pair of slim tapered jeans that fit especially well, then follow the video guide on the website (just go to a 777 product) and take all the measurements. You can post them here and ask for advice, send them to the shop, or work it out yourself. Or all three to cover your bases.
