Damn Jett, they look fantastic. Good man.

Thanks.I had to get them taken in,in the thigh area,they might’ve been bigger than your 888s. Local tailor did a really good job.

You guys all look great in the 555 XHSib
Really hoping with the available material we would please see a restock in the small sizes. They all sold in a flash, but I guess there only a few pairs in small sizes

Thanks for the tip, I have double check on the sizing, but I feel myself leaning towards the 555 Over the 888

After washing these inside out in cold water,the right leg got kind of funky in terms of Indigo loss. It’ll even out over time. Looks a little weird now.

Don’t worry it will get better, but why wash inside out, I had that experience before. That why l never wash inside out. My saying u want them to fade let the indigo run as wash

I’m going to wear them another 10-12 days first.

Picked up a second pair after deciding i could SQUEEZE into a tag30. HUGE Thank you to @Giles for tracking them down in Japan. Wearing 25oz Iron Denim this tight is not easy but i'm sure the initial struggle will result in a perfect fit once they break a little.

Those fit you really nice actually.

[mpukas]

yeah, Alex, those are good fit, but DAYUM they look tight.

I’ve read somewhere that these don’t fade fast . Maybe these will become most fast fading IH denim. Ink is very aggressive so far . I never wash or soak 25oz . I am planning on wearing this Without wash or soak for at least 8-10 months . Happy with IDxBK

They do fit perfectly!

[alexswords]

Thanks guys, they're definitely tight and NOT easy to get on and off but i'm committed to a proper fit and i think they'll eventually relax to become a comfortable yet fitted denim. My plan is to keep them #dryuntiltheydie so i'll keep everyone posted on their progress here as well as on my IG page under the handle @kill_your_jeans

On another note I actually hope they'll be slow faders. To me that means each thread has been properly dyed to retain the indigo color longer. Right? isn't it obvious if your denim is fading fast, that just means they haven't been dyed with as much indigo causing a faster indigo loss? Seems like the denim companies are pulling a fast one on those in search of "fast faders".. less indigo means less cost to the denim maker..

I applaud Iron Heart for being a denim maker that upholds the standards of true and lasting products that don't break down or lose their indigo in a month.. Being a member of the "Stubborn Crew" means having an appreciation for the hard work and dedication it takes to not only make these lifetime products but also to have the patience to let them age the way they were meant to.  I'm a believer in this craft and technique through and through and I look forward to the long road ahead.
