The “Filthy” Few

Yeah there's no denying how excellent they are. But I'd say they are only about 1/10 as soft as they get after they are really broken in. Love you too bro

[mention]sethatwork [/mention] and I got a chance to meet up with Mike in Monroeville over the summer. Gifted us some SE bags, stickers, and hangers. Even paid for lunch! What an epic dude! We were all rocking jeans and sandals and Mike was in the full comfort bibs and flip flops. Epic dude. Epic gear. Glad to have met you in person my man. Your kindness and passion inspires me!!! -

Damn, should I just start filing all of these posts under the FOMO thread? Mike, come to Nashville and I'll put you up and show you a good time!
-
Thank man I appreciate that. I'll let you know if I'm ever heading that way.
-
Is like to "blame" Mike for my journey to the bib-side and my general attitude of not taking my appearance/clothes too seriously. Nothing like being told you're doing some 805's proud by the resident expert when you've just picked up a pair and are questioning if you've made a mistake :D.

I really appreciate everyone saying nice things about me. But I don't feel like I am any different than any other forum member here. And I don't feel like I should be singled out here because everyone is pretty great. I'm cool with talking about how sweet the 822 jeans are though. I am really grateful that iron heart makes them and I get to share my enjoyment of them with you guys.
So like here's some pictures of the 822.

So what you're saying is…I gotta start sleeping in my jeans

I mean it can't not help evo, right?! I sleep in my 295!

Because of my job I don't get to wear my jeans a lot during the day, so I gotta wear them at night. It seems to work pretty well though.

It has been stated before and I’ll shout it now. The guys at IH are unbelievably helpful and I consider them friends!! Not only were they able to snag these 822’s from Japan, but @Graham was instrumental in my decision to hem them. He and I are just about the same size and tried them on for me and gave me his thoughts on hemming.
He’s an absolute saint!

@Chesson Thank you so much for the hemming! You sir rock!!

Best customer service around

After an unexpected delay due to a landslide over a train track (welcome to Norway), I was able to pick up my 822’s today.
I may not be “Filthy” enough to join the BotB but I humbly request admittance into The Filthy Few. Excuse the slippers [emoji1]
Thanks for being amongst us Mike. Love you lots buddy…

Hey thanks a lot @neph93 I really appreciate it. Love you too pal.
So like what do you think, do you like them? They fit you really well.

Thank you! A little tight in the waist but that was the plan. The 21oz should so
its magic expanding trick over the weekend.I love them. The bag removal was an absolute joy. The weight was delicious, you could really feel the difference that the “42oz” thighs made. I had them hemmed, but a little longer than usual so I can do big stacks over engineers, or a large cuff. Having a zip totally freaked me out though [emoji23]
I’m very pleased indeed. I thought that the extra denim would make them stiffer, but it turns out double the weight means double the softness!
