    Thanks @Matt figured it shouldn’t be too hard for a pro. Perhaps the larger question is where does one buy a large guage two way universal zipper?

      Probably the dark web.

        Ha. Yeah. Quick google search didn’t yield any results. I’d only want to do it if I could replace it with an equal two way Universal.

          Hey @Mizmazzle I’ve done this exact thing on multiple jacket (leather, cotton, waxed canvas) and hoodies….damn you IH for getting me hooked 🤣

          Anyways, most any tailor can definitely do this as it’s a fairly simple alteration. In terms of the exact zipper type and gauge, the tailor can usually special order whatever you want as they typically have access to suppliers with specialized stock for items related to altering clothing.

          You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

            Oh dang!! @Dstauffer that’s great news. I’m a bit weary because this jacket is my favorite!! I’d be mega bummed if I fucked it up. Sounds like you’ve been through it though!! Did you ask for any specific brand of zipper?

              @Mizmazzle Sorry if missed it, but where are you based? If London then I certainly have an excellent recommendation for a tailor.

              Re recommendation for zip. You should post a pic of the jacket itself. Personally, I like the Ri-Ri / beefier YKK zippers as a rule of thumb, but their aesthetic does not suit everything! As stated above, a good tailor should be able to help you get what you want as they will typically have a trade catalogue that you can take a look at.

              I ain't got time to bleed.

                Thanks @Cutlasshound im in Denver, Colorado. Sounds like what I’m looking to do is possible. Seems that starting the search for the right tailor is my next step!

                  I seen that Haraki put new batch of 634S-21L into the Japan store.
                  Are we going to see the fabric internationally in all cuts?
                  Left hand twill in 21oz is something I’m looking forward to as much as the 21oz stretch.
                  And of course any forecast on when will it arrive?

                        The button fly on my Oni's no longer stays closed. Buttons randomly pop open throughout the day. Has anyone successfully resolved this issue?

                        While, "don't buy non-IH denim," is a valid answer, I'm hoping for others 😁

                          You might try adding a few stitches to the button hole to make the hole smaller…

                            @Mizmazzle I was very pleased with all my outcomes on this alteration. I’ve had Talon and YKK used on the heavier pieces (ie leather and the Ship John waxed canvas Wills)….hoodies I’m just kind of like “whatever” in terms of brand.

                            I get not wanting to have your jacket fucked up, so I would look for a tailor that specializes in the fabric or alteration. For my heavier jackets, I specifically looked for a zipper repair and ended up getting a location that did luggage and leather repair. They were not a tailor at all, but specialized in heavier weight fabrics, leather, and zippers. They were not the cheapest, but like you, I didn’t wanted my jackets fucked up and was very pleased with the outcome.

                            You’re in Denver so I am very sure you’ll have no issue finding quite a few very good options. Can’t wait to see the outcome!

                            You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

                              Hi, I am Ananda living in beautiful Copenhagen. I am looking for any suggestions for any place to do hemming in Copenhagen for 25 oz. The only retailer here do not do it since i bought the denim from Japan. Any suggestions appreciated.
                              Regards,
                              Ananda

                                  Is there a high-rise version of the 666 or any similar cuts with a high rise? Ideally in the 21/23oz denim.

                                  I guess I'm relatively tall at 6'1 and perhaps it's also a tall hip area or something but on the occasions I want to tuck a tee or shirt, either the rise on the 666 looks too low or I get 70's Robert Plant levels of hoof.

                                  Open to any cut really with a high-rise if there is such a thing.

                                  Thanks!

                                      There is no cut similar to the 666 but with a high rise. You would have two options for high rise models, any 555 jean or any 888 jean. The 555 is mid/high rise super slim cut, the 888 is a mid/high rise relaxed tapered cut

                                      You can find all 555 jeans here:

                                      and all 888 jeans here (and also the 777 cut, but this would not fit your needs):

                                        I am looking to get a first pair of IH, or any raw denim jeans, coming from Levi's.
                                        Is there a sub or a topic where I can ask about this?

                                        EDIT: I've browsed the forums a bit of course. Couldn't find a proper sub.
