They are great Gavin. I'm excited for you to try them out, and to see pics.
My first IH pants were the world tour Fat Boy chocolates in the 888 cut you were the ringmaster of a couple years back. I thought the 888 cut was the one for me and it still may be, but these are so great.

Thanks @jordanscollected , it might be a week or three before I’m at my fighting weight to squeeze into these bad boys, but motivation right?

Have been working on our old Volvo this week in these, and it’s been 70-80F the entire week, so I am definitely feeling the weight now.

Gave em a wash a day or two ago since it’s been a little too long since they had a bath, not really an intense wash, just a mild soak/agitation with some detergent in the tub. Was glad to get all the dirt/mud/mulch/rust/metal shavings out of them so I can wear them inside & in cars again. These truly are fantastic jeans, in terms of fabric & dye retention. Every time I wear these & look at my PBJs or Tanuki’s & how quick they lose indigo, I am reminded why I just love Iron Heart jeans. I have snagged the ever loving hell out of these on bolts & metal tabs while working on the car, belt loops & pockets, and have taken it like a champ.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not to be the only poster in here, but I feel like my evo pics would enjoy seeing the light of day. I've given them a soak about once a month, and finally threw them in the wash on low spin in tap temp yesterday, since they had some nice dirt stains that were really set in knees. There are a few thin points, and one tear in the thigh/knee area. The knee area is thin on both sides, and I noticed on my butt of these jeans, they are starting to thin out, so I am probably going to reinforce those soon.

My knee blew out so I tried my best to repair it, against everyone else’s recommendation to just send it back to have it darned (if the repair fails i will, I swear!). These are my favorite jeans & just want to keep wearing them.

Well done! Home repairs (not least red thread sashiko ones) are great. I have loads of respect for these denim wizards and their darning skills, but in terms of functionality and uniqueness home repairs are where it’s at, and unless you keep a dressier pair of jeans for office wear or going out in, why not personalise them like you have?

sethatwork that is a righteous repair.

Oh that's the swedish serge. Excellent.
Or was it the 21 SBG?

21 SBG, wanted to match the knee patch weight with the original weight, I will probably use the 18oz pant leg on on the butt & the small hole, since the small hole was created by a chisel incident & the butt isn’t as big a problem as the knee.
