Yeah my brain can't process what it's seeing.

I’ve always liked the look of the cut on those jelados. Wish IH made its own slash pocket jean.

[Matt]

That’s some crazy shit.

I cant remember the work pants, I think they must been a sample pair that were sold off at The Iron Heart Camp....

[Graeme]

@goosehd and @Oaktavia the pair I tried on would have been selvedge. They were probably a size 34, as that's what I fitted back then.

I'm guessing that they were a Japan-only release or maybe (as @Giles said) a sample that was sold off.

there are quite a few on ebay in Japan

I’m pretty happy with my 634s - good fit in the thighs and seat. However, I would prefer a narrower cuff. Is the 888 the fit I’m looking for? Is 666 going to be too skinny? I don’t have an “urban slim” build so I need some room.

[Alex]

I would try the 888 first, yes

Hi everyone.

Not sure where to post this…

Anyways I am going to buy my first pair of IH. Please help me decide which one should I get for my first pair. If you can also kindly share the reasoning why you pick one over the others it will be much appreciated.

IH-634S
IH-634S-UHR
IH-634-XHS
IH-634-XHSib

Actually the one I really want is the IH-634S-A but unfortunately I'm late. Many thanks.

@n00b do you have experience with denim as heavy as the 25oz? If not, i would stick with the 21 oz so your system isnt too shocken by the heavyweight of the xhs.

Otherwise, the rest is personal preference.

[Jett129]

@n00b I would agree that the 21OZ denim should definitely be your Iron Heart "Gateway" pair. Once their broken in, which is pretty easy, you won't believe that a pair of jeans could be that comfortable. They've been likened to sweatpants or pajamas.

21 oz

[JunkPants]

@n00b The 21oz may be more practical (and perhaps a bit easier to get the sizing right), but the XHS/XHSib is more fun in my opinion.

[goosehd]

Agree with the suggestions of 21oz for your first pair. Depending on where you live, the 21oz can be worn for at least 3 seasons and possibly more depending on how hot it gets in your area and how heat tolerant you are.

25oz. will definitely be much warmer and you will get less wear time if you live in a warm or humid climate.

[sabergirl]

@CuseMM you could also try a 633 from Self Edge. 634 top-block but tapered. I personally have both and prefer the 888, though.

[n00b]

Thanks very much everyone.

I'll get the 21oz.

Just to answer some questions, I'm from hot and humid Singapore. But I'll only be wearing the jeans in air-conditioned environment 90% of the time. My only experience with selvedge jeans are Samurais and the heaviest I think is 19oz.

Thanks again.

[endo]

you'll be happy, they are most comfy and breathable

@n00b
Good choice and great starting point.

@Tago-Mago This has been fixed now mate, sorry for the delay in getting back to you!
