This is the way.

@Tago-Mago thanks for the positivity my good mod…er, my good man!!! I’m super stoked to give him the goods!! He’s been listening to me talk about denim for years and think it’s finally got him to the point that he’s curious about all the fuss. He was the best man at my wedding and even made some comments about my denim obsession in his speech haha. Seems fitting to bring this full circle for his wedding.

@Mizmazzle it’s a wonderful idea and i would go 21oz. The core oh IH. I wouls be thrilled to death with such a gift and with such a friend!
-
@Heavy_blue thanks doggie!! I’m pretty psyched. Graham has been helping me get things dialed in on the Gosport side as well. I’d imagine some fairly humorous pics to come documenting him trying on some heavy weights for the first time

I’m following this closely now, thank you for posting and what a wonderful gesture.
I have a very close friend who has a similar interest in buying his first pair of “good jeans”. Of course I’m directing him toward the IH brand. I may take him shopping in Toronto at Dutil Denim sometime soon.

@Mizmazzle stoked to see photos! I got one of my buddies into denim (briefly) but I did not pay for them...quite kind of you.

@Mizmazzle haha! This is a journey keep us updated

Howdy folks! The day has come!! We finally opened up Mizmazzle’s Front Room Denim Shop for Matt to go shopping for his favorite pair of Iron Hearts.
I collected four cuts in the 21oz flagship.
555, 666, 634, 888
After all my research, my gut was telling me the 555 or 888 would be the right fit for him. What cut do you think he went with??888
634
555
666
He was blown away by the quality!! I pulled out some of my jeans to show him how soft they would get and he was stoked at how mine felt. After trying on all the cuts he could feel the pair he chose getting softer already and loved the feel of the denim. Made me stoked to see him so pumped on his new jeans. I think we nailed the fit!!
So which cut do you think was the winner??

the Devil did it…..666 -
634?

555

555

888

I’d say 888 or 666

It’s funny…or maybe, predictable…but I sent him these pics about an hour ago so he can get a closer look at the fits. He’s having second thoughts.
He liked the 555 earlier. Knowing Matt, it seemed a bit slim for his personality. I think the 888 is the way to go. We’re doing a second try on tomorrow morning haha.

Awesome! I think 555 looks best on him, with 666 a close second.
I bought a friend some Uniqlo selvedge jeans in the early days of my denim fandom, he still has them and claims they were the best jeans he ever had, but he didn't quite catch the bug in the same way I'd have hoped he would
