      @pechelman more great work. I’m impressed how there’s this tendency towards spreadsheets. Not for me, but I love it.

      In my experience, XHS does not shrink that much and will stretch out beyond pre-soak dims with wear, like @chrisjohnnick mentions.

      That being said, I suspect both the w33 and w34 will work, but OP will likely need to consider what kind of fit he wants.

        You guys are amazing for thinking along with me! I have a feeling that the 33 will be the best fit, as long as they stretch enough in the thigh.. That's my only concern. Safest is the 34, especially with initial soak (and the fact they only stock one 34 and still have three 33s). However, with the 34 also concerned to get too much stretching ending up with a massive empty rear. If only there would be a voting system on this forum for you guys to decide with which one to go….  :-\

          When you hang jeans in your closet, do you have to be really careful they are folded on the hanger without creases?

            Nope. But I use S-hooks, partially to about creases.

                I use pattern hooks. Mostly do it so they can air out and such.

                  No, because I throw them on the floor

                      They’re jeans.

                          Yes they are jeans but they are also the most expensive clothing I own [emoji24]

                          I’m probably hanging this secondary pair (888xhs) up for months at a time. If there are creases how they hang, won’t those create fade lines in weird places?

                            They’re by far the most expensive thing I own besides my car, and I haven’t ever noticed any damage from leaving them folded sometimes months at a time in my closet. Unless there’s a lot of pressure or abrasion or sunlight I can’t imagine an issue.

                            Your mileage may vary, of course. I’m sure that I’ve seen fade lines in pics from folding on jeans that have the kind of dye meant to crock away immediately, but in my experience Iron Hear jeans don’t do that.

                              It’s abrasion and water, and to a lesser extend sunlight.
                              No problem in a closet, whether they‘re folded or hanged.

                                My Beatle Busters have been either folded on a shelf or hanging in a closet for almost 11 years now.  No fades from storage, just from wearing.

                                  Could someone enlighten me on the difference between the Wesco MP Toe and the Western Toe? They look identical to me on the Wesco site. I’m assuming the western toe is a little more pointy but hard for me to tell from the website. Maybe I can see that the MP is a little more rounded?

                                    I went down a forum rabbit hole after looking up tshirts I purchased on here that are from 10 or so years ago. I saw and (have seen while reading elsewhere on here) references to the Stubborn Crew. Can someone explain to me what this is or was? And how they got that name? Is it the IH crew? Curious…

                                      It’s absolutely 100% the IH Crew. Sorry I can’t tell you when or how it started.

                                        The Stubborn Crew is us - sometimes we use/used it to refer to UK, sometimes to UK and Japan.  When Paula and I were spitballing descriptors for Iron Heart back in 2006/7 (I wanted something a bit more inventive than "Extra Heavy") we came up with "Stubborn", I suspect there are references to Stubborn Denim all over the place, it thus became a natural extension of that to call us the Stubborn Crew (even though it was effectively just me at the time)…..
