IH-634S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans
-
The 19 lefty shrinks like crazy too dude, so hopefully they turn out spot on. The comparison with XHS fills me with joy. Glad you like them!
What?? @Giles
From the description: Unsanforized, but one-washed, so expect little or no shrinkage
-
@LewisStonehouse Please be very careful about generalized statements concerning products…Your previous experience of 19L does not coincide with this batch.
This was taken from the 777 thread concerning this batch of 19L.
@dinobarnesberlin there will be no shrinkage and you can expect approx 1" of stretch in the waist over time with some consistent wear
-
I mean it's not a big deal. Oaktavia was saying his jacket shrunk quite a lot when he first got it. Even so, like I can see how these jeans have been washed already so I am satisfied with that guarantee of shrinkage out.
-
Welcome to the 19L club Mike. They shed color like crazy. I dont know where the shrink like crazy came about. I have 2 pairs and with cold wash, they just tightened up like any denim, but no shrinkage. Not sure if you hot wash them though.
-
My bad, sorry Dennis!
-
To be fair the Type III is also sanforized and one washed and that went down over one full size with a very hot soak, but I realise this is a different batch.

First wear day today @Oaktavia @neph93 @LewisStonehouse @Giles @goosehd @Graham I know I'm forgetting people. But I just want to say thanks again. The jeans for like they were made for me. I don't know who RP is but he picked the perfect pair for me. I had to exhale slightly to get the top button done up. So this is perfect- I didn't have to try and stretch the waist or anguish lying down trying to get them buttoned up.
I love the texture of the denim, and yet is has that silky softness I love. They definitely feel like XHS but slightly less oppressive. I absolutely love them.

Mike!
Wait till they brake in. You are in for a treat. And the fades will start coming pretty quickly. Its an unbelievable fabric. -
Awesome mate! Glad you’re enjoying them. Nice Moonstars too dude
-
Fuck yeah @Filthy I'd say they are most similar to XHS as far as I have been able to observe in person.
This stuff is like Oni secret denim mated with XHS but it isn't itchy but has a rough texture, and yet still has that familiar dense, heavy and silky Iron Heart feel. It is really cool.

Good call… I'm so happy you like them. @LewisStonehouse and I discussed sending you tokens so you could get the UHR, but we took a risk on these. Lewis felt it was more personal and I know I bloody love this denim.

The others are hot Garbo but here's a fit pic. You can see these fit me excellent in this picture. Sort of a slim silhouette and yet they are generous enough to be extremely comfortable.

I'm so glad Lewis made this call. I am quite enamored with these. Like I couldn't possibly be any more happy with them. 10/10

It just so happens that I still have one of my off-cuts from my 18 ounce Vulcans… And yes it is similar, but I think this 19L is stiffer and has a lot more surface roughness and neps (secret denim)... But is seems like this 19L has been calendared or something to smooth them out, or this is from the Leftiness of the denim. This is why I am making the XHS comparisons. I think 16oz Trophy Dirt denim feels a lot like IH 18oz denim, but the dirt denim has a lot rougher texture. Everything Iron Heart is always denser and smoother than anything else.
-
One other thing that is interesting about this denim: it's very rigid. So much so that I will not be wetting/starching/ironing/soaking/etc this pair this time. Just au naturel. This is quite amazing that these are once washed and yet they are so stiff. Even XHS gets very pliable after it has been washed. But this is so rigid.
Here's another comparison photo

I can't express my appreciation Ann. I absolutely love them
