    @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!

                    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,

                        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:
                            https://www.ironheart.co.uk/super-slim-cut/

                            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.

                                  @nickname I moved your post to the random questions thread.

                                  I'm sure a lot of people on here would be happy to give you advice, but I would suggest the best port of call is to email us at shop@ironheart.co.uk where we can really drill into the right fit for you.

                                    Hi @nickname, you can find useful info about the core cuts here

                                    https://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/our-cuts-jeans

                                    If there's a particular product you're interested in, there are links to corresponding forum threads on each product page on the online store. Typically you'll find plenty of pictures of people wearing these items here, which should give of how they look/fit etc... Feel free to ask any questions here, staff and forum alike tend to be very friendly and helpful.

                                    There's also a link to the vital measurements of Iron Heart staff members on most product pages, alongside the sizes they'd wear in that particular garment, which can also be a good reference point when deciding on which size to take. Although, taking measurements of items you already own (that you know fit you well) and comparing them to the IH sizing charts is the best may to ensure a perfect fit.

                                    Which Levis cut do you normally wear?

                                      I’ve never heard this phrase, I cackled when I read it, and I’m stealing it if I can find an appropriate setting to use it.

                                        Thanks @Alex and @T4920

                                        I'm a 190cm cca 95kg guy, heavier in waist and thighs.
                                        Currently wearing a 501 with tag size W34 34 inseam.
                                        measured (IH method):
                                        92cm waist
                                        33cm thigh
                                        23.5cm knee
                                        32cm front rise
                                        42cm rear rise
                                        21cm hem
                                        86cm inseam

                                        This pair fits me just fine.

                                        Was looking at the IH-888S-21oz and IH-634S-21oz
                                        I prefer the higher rise, so 888 takes the lead between the two so far.

                                        Thanks for any input and suggestions.

                                          @nickname 888 looks like the best match based on these measurements. I'd be looking for a larger-than-chart-waisted 35 if I were you
