@Matt haha yes the glued on badges will be coming off but I agree it does look good

@jordanscollected said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:
There was the addition of the extra windproof liner in between the wool and outer shell a few years back.
Our N1's have always had an additional windproof liner. We just did not brag about it in the early days because H thought it unimportant to point out......

@Giles I’ll be over here adding incorrect info to the internet. Basically everything else you find is true.

At the risk of asking a too general question: Are the newer Iron Heart products (jeans, knits and sweats, jackets etc.) of an obviously superior construction and material quality than the earlier products?
-
Most of the fabrics will be effectively the same, there may be some tweaks as we try to improve, and there may be subtle variances as raw materials become unavailable and we have to source alternatives.
Regarding cut and constructional detail, Haraki is always tweaking/trying to improve, but typically a change will result in the lot number changing.
Whether those tweaks are good or bad is really in the eye of the beholder, because Haraki rarely considers what other people will like, just what he thinks is best for him personally.

@Giles Perfect, thank you.

@flannel-slut my 21oz OD were hemmed with the golden yellow thread by IH.

@flannel-slut said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:
@JoshC or for those of you that have hemmed your OD, do you chainstitch with a black or yellow thread?
We default to yellow as that is the colour of the original constructional stitching. But you can request any colour you want.

I’m looking for a straight leg with a very slight taper which the 634s looks like it has but I’m not sure if it would actually fit my body (175cm and 77kg) well. For reference, here are my Sassafras Fall Leaf denim. They are (relatively speaking) my best fitting pair of denim. Below are their measurements
Waist: 95.6cm/ 37.64in
Front rise: 31cm/ 12.2in
Back rise: 41cm /16.14in
Thigh: 33.5cm / 13.9in
Knee: 26.67cm/ 10.5in
Inseam: 73.5cm / 28.94in
Leg opening: 24.3cm/ 9.5in -
Probably best to message the team directly at shop@ironheart.co.uk for specific enquiries such as this.
They'll be able to recommend the perfect cut/size for you using the measurement you've provided.

I can only give you my personal opinion, but I’d say this cut works well on a wide variety of body types.
I’m what some would call tall and skinny (I prefer to say thin lol). Not much of a butt, but fairly average sized waist and thighs. I know that doesn’t speak directly to your specifics, but just giving you a body type to compare to …
The 634 is my favorite cut.

@LibagBall0105 Have you checked out this page? https://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/cut-comparison
@T4920 gave you the best advice though; email the team. The customer service here is second to none and they'd be happy to help you find the best cut for you.
You mentioned that for Sassafras jeans are your "relatively speaking best fitting pair". When you email the IH team with your measurements, I recommend that you point out anything that you like/dislike about that pair of jeans (e.g. "the thighs are a little tight" or "I'm looking for something with a bit more room in the butt" or "I'd like less of a taper" or whatever) so that they can advise on how that pair will compare to the IH cuts.
Take the dive...

P.S. @goosehd - you'll probably want to move this thread/discussion somewhere more appropriate?
