      Holy cow. Just saw this thread. So pumped for the stretch jeans. As I get deeper into my 30s I definitely need that comfort. I also don’t really fit that well into the 666 cut so I didn’t pick up the ignition pair. I’m just living vicariously via SaberGirl for a while (thanks Anne!!!) man, so much great denim by Iron Heart and only one pair of legs. This will definitely be my next indigo purchase. So looking forward to it. It’ll really help the 777 cut in the upper thigh where I personally feel the most resistance for myself. And plus if I can toss up a high roundhouse kick like Chuck Norris in denim. That’s a win

        Three week update…

        So I have had the jeans for 23 days and they have 19 days of wear on them. Fading is not obvious from the attatched pictures however up close the beginnings of fading is visible across the front of the top block and at the honeycombs. The exposed areas like belt loops and pocket corners are losing their indigo and the upper thigh and knee is starting to develop that electric blue sheen. In other words exactly the sort of thing you would expect from a three week old pair of 21oz Iron Hearts.

        Fit wise though things are a little different to what happens with the standard 21oz. The honeycombs and whispers are now set although that took a little while. They have relaxed a little in general, but there is no bagging at the knee or around the booty. The waist has not stretched permanently. Basically stretch happens very slowly and recedes a little in between wears. The huge benefit of this is that they keep their shape remarkably well, while still being remarkably comfortable and easy to move in despite their slim dimensions.

          They look great, Reuben. As usual, all of your thoughtful observations really add to my wanting to get my hands on a pair of these. Can’t wait until it’s available. Assuming it’s released in all the cuts, I think this might be perfect for me to finally do a 555, or size down in the 888.

            Thank you very much, Ann. The great thing for me is exactly the fact that I can comfortably wear a cut that previously would have been too restrictive, prone to blow-outs and not all that flattering. I know this as my second ever pair of IH were the 555-01 in this exact size.

            I believe Giles has said that these will be done in all cuts except for the 634. For me the 666 will be a must. To finally own a pair without a bigger than necessary waist, or one of the wider leg outliers would be very satisfactory.

              This denim would be excellent in the Devils Cut for sure.

                @neph93 Were you able to make some measurements so as to compare it against the same fit in the non Shinayaka denim?

                IH-555N | IH-666S-21 | IH-777D | IH-666 XHS | IHG-035 | IHB-06 | IH-721-KHA

                  Starting measurements on the Shinayaka IH-555-SST are the same as my pair of IH-555-01 and the current IH-555-01 measurements. No more than 0.1-0.2” difference

                          I did six hours of straight room stripping in them. Knocking through a wall, crow barring out plyboard and architraves and after woods pine flooring then carrying it all out to the skip. Not once did I feel restricted or uncomfortable and that in a pair of pants that are pretty snug on me.

                                    I’ve put in about six full days with demolition on the house, wearing the Shinayaka each day… I’ll hold off washing them for a while as it isn’t mucky work, just dry and dusty. But I thought we needed a pic here:

                                    I can not believe how easy it is to work in heavy denim this slim. Super comfy, warm and rugged, no restriction to movement.

                                      Starting to see evo around the knees and a bit on the thighs.  Looks good!

                                      How is the denim for breath ability?  Are they the same as the 21oz?

                                        It’s coming in slowly for sure. Very reminiscent of the standard 21oz in that respect. They’ve only had about 30 days of wear, so this isn’t bad.

                                        As for breathability, I’d say they are less airy than the 21oz but in a good way. They seem warmer, more insulating, but not sticky warm if you see what I mean.
