The jeans are looking good @WhiskeySandwich! Reminds me to put mine on again soon when things cool down somewhat...

Thanks brother! My two-pair cycle is these and the 18oz vintage, and whichever I’m wearing at the time is my favorite the only time I’m not wearing them is for extreme dirty work, which I have a dedicated pair for.

I’m on day two of wearing these and to say I’m obsessed is an understatement.
This is my first pair of IH. Picked them up at Self Edge NY last month and I’m excited to see the progress in the comings months.
Easily the most comfortable pair of denim I’ve ever owned.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@hbg1 I have mine on right now and they're super good at work in the A/C...a bit hot in 90deg humidity though!
No idea how many wears I have on these now, but I got them March and wear them like 1/3 of the time. The 18oz Vintage breathe a bit better and are a bit looser on me so I favor them for the other 2/3 of the time. I love the fabric of these bb's though. So smoooooth. They're holding their dye pretty tough everywhere except seam edges, the high wear areas are just super smooth and shiny. I feel like it's barely holding on though and one day its just going to let go because I have some bright gray spots popping already.

@WhiskeySandwich we are in similar situations I think.
My office environment is super cold every day so it will be perfect for breaking them in.
The temperature here has cooled off this week so it’s not as humid but I’m sure I’ll have to put them aside before summer ends.

One thing I am noticing is they’re slightly snug in the calves, not sure if it’s just me or not but I’m hoping that might stretch just a little more over time.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@hbg1 Yeah now that I work indoors its nice to be able to work on my heavy shirts and jackets as well lol but these 14oz are still tolerable at all heat levels I've encountered....depends on tolerance and climate.

I doubt you'd get much stretch in the calves, but from my experience with any denim, stress = stretch. Just how much - that depends. If you're on your first couple days, give em a couple weeks and they'll feel a bit different. Or try a cold soak and put them on slightly damp and wear till dry - that's my fast track way to form-fit it.

[hbg1]

@WhiskeySandwich cheers, thanks for the info!

I’m ok with how they are now, it’s not terrible but they’re just slightly brushing against the calves.
I’ll give it some time to wear in.

Can’t wait to see what they look like in a few months!

[WhiskeySandwich]

Only been wearing these a couple days a week. Slow and steady, diggin how they look though

[don_pipone]

Will there be a restock in near future?

[AdamJ]

@don_pipone yes, production run due to complete any week now, should be here soon

[don_pipone]

@AdamJ That‘s great news. Thanks Adam!

[Oaktavia]

@Mickey-GT do you wash your pair frequently?

[Mickey GT]

@Oaktavia In summer: yes. In winter not as often as my wife wants me to wash it

RESTOCK

[WhiskeySandwich]

My son has taken over on these since they crossed the line on being too tight on the thighs.

[Jett129]

Am I correct in my thinking that this is the same denim used for the 14OZ Black Western shirts?

[Alex]

@Jett129 this shirt?
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/tops/IHSH-295-BB.html

If so, yes

[Jett129]

@Alex That’s the shirt. I flat out love that denim, may have to get a pair of the jeans.

[bromp]

picked some up today after dropping my 777s-21 off to be tailored

[Lowlander]

@bromp congrats, great jeans, great fit. Wearing my pair too right now.
