    @Oaktavia thanks brotherman! Likewise! There is a method to the madness. I approach denim with a stupid kind of careless obsession lol. I enjoy exchanging notes.

        @Oaktavia another thought on the fades-per-wash thing: after I hit 100 on the ib, I wore 7 days and washed, then another 7 and washed again, and maybe it’s my wash method but it doesn’t seem to affect fades at all. Cold soak 20 mins. Drain tub, fill with hot, add about a tablespoon of soap as it fills. Let sit for 20, lift, set, lift, set, drain. Rinse hot, repeat lifts. Hang dry. It’s minimal agitation I guess. Works for me!

        Move to “duds in suds”?

          After much thought between buying the 888s or the 888 XHSib, I finally went with the 888s because I was curious about Iron Heart’s OG fabric.

          Right now, I’ve been wearing the 666XHS for 11 months. How’s the fit? I went with a size 30—I’m 64kg and 180cm tall.

            It's hard to tell from photos some times but they look comfy.. It also looks like you can size down one if you like a tighter fit. The 888's is pretty forgiving. If you like a slightly looser fit you are on the money

              Yeah, totally get that! I actually love the current fit. Comfy with just the right amount of room. The 888s really hit the sweet spot

              After wearing XHS, the 888s feel so smooth, especially when buttoning up

                Oh yeah the 21oz is much easier to deal with. No breaking period needed. Comfortable out of the box and they get better with wear. Enjoy

                  Any idea when these will be restocked?

                      Alex, I'm considering the 888 in a couple different denims (21oz, 18oz, and UHR). Does IH account for variances in stretch in its sizing? In other words, would you order the same size in each denim, or go smaller for a stretchier denim like the 21oz vs. larger on the stiffer, tighter-woven UHR?

                        @JohnM

                        We always advise on a approximate 1" stretch with our sanforised and one-washed denim. Unfortantly it is not an exact science.

                        Rather than by tag size alone, one will want to order the tag sizes based on the actual waist measurement, factoring in how the denim will behave.

                        The 888s-21 and 888s-18 are both going to stretch approxinatly 1" in the waist with wear. The UHR is going to shrink when you first wash / soak it (you have to do this before wear) and then with wear will stretch back out to pre-wash sizing.

                        I would measure the waist of something that fits you well using our how we measure guide to lock in an actual measurement that works for you and factor in all of the above.

                          110 wears 3 light hand washes. I’ll do a 21oz 3-way compare soon.

                            @WhiskeySandwich dude those are looking perfect! A lot more contrast than I often expect on a 21oz pair — keep that shit up!

                              @popvulture yeah more than I thought too, def in part thanks to the overcast lighting. Sometimes they pop, sometimes they look super dark still.

                                  @Oaktavia thanks homie! Overcast really is the perfect lighting for denim. Love how these have turned out. They took forever to start and now they’re really picking up.
