The “Filthy” Few

Filthy2123ozjunkie · 24 Nov 2021, 02:10

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.

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.

822’s = These may have moved to the top of my wishlist

They look to be Extinct

Are there any retailers who still stock them?
Or any chance they are going to be re-made?

Drop an email to Giles or shop@ironheart.co.U.K. That may be able to fix you up.

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!

Before

After

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

Best customer service around

goosehd · 24 Nov 2021, 22:33

…but it is so much more than customer service and I can’t find the right words.

…I’m planning to fly from Canada to the UK, just to set down and have a beer with them and hang. Can’t say that about just anybody you meet on the internet…or maybe.

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…

Don’t apologize no matter how much @Giles tries to slipper-shame you. You look great.

Filthy2123ozjunkie · 25 Nov 2021, 23:15

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!
