What's the difference in terms of fading and maybe some details between these and the SBG's ?
thanks so much, it seems I'm torn and confused, I'll also look again

I received the jeans last week, very confortable and very easy to break in. In the beginning, knee area was a little bit narrow, not very comfortable, but after 1h driving stretched a lot and they are very very comfortable. Fit is also fantastic very very happy

Nice, @AdamJ! The backpockets especially.

These landed today, haven't worn black denim in ages so i'm very excited how they will fade...

Hi, first pair of Iron Heart. Many thanks to Graham and Bailey for the help. Coming from Unbranded 221, 201, and Brave Star slim straight, I’m usually a 32 but went with a 33 in IH because the measurements were right. They fit great, pre-break-in, but the knees and lower thigh is quite snug when sitting. I’m sure once these are formed, they will fit like a charm.

Oh I also wanted to say, this denim is amazing. The 14oz somehow seems far more substantial than my UB 14.5, as if those were steamrolled. The IH 14oz feels thicker, softer, and fuller. I’d guess it’s due to a heavier yarn but a lower tension.
Also, if it helps anyone find their fit/size, I’m about 5’11”, 175 lbs, with a 35”waist. The fit just above the knee is the tightest spot for me with the 555 when sitting, but standing, when they drape, there are no spots where they cling. The pics above were taken after 1 days wear, and in that time there was noticeably more room around the knee.

Nice fit! I just started in my 14oz bb as well. I really like this fabric and agree with you, feels much more substantial than other fabrics in similar weight

Follow up: the more I wear these, I’m beginning to think this cut isn’t for me. I tend to wear my belt on the hips and that causes the crotch to sag, and with a high rise, that means reduced range of motion. If I pull them up so the crotch is where it should be , the thighs are too tight due to the aggressive taper above the knee. Maybe the 777???
-
888 i guess.. i always have more room in my 555 tigh then 777 but that’s just my weirdo body i guess haha

The other cuts seem a bit loose for me, especially the hem. With the 555, the top block and upper thigh is fine, it’s the sharp taper on the thigh to the knee that gets me. An extra 1/4” in the knee and these would be absolutely perfect.
