@steelworker
Thanks steelworker, the work style of H. is definitely underrated ‍️.

I really like the whipcord work pants... Seems like the same cut here, going by the measurements? Might give these a try in the future!

Been eyeing these for a little bit now and when I was met with @JoshC enthusiastic, yup, on if suspender buttons could be added, I could no longer resist. Excellent job on the snap upgrade sir. Side shout out as well to @Freeman on clarifying the hem stitch (chino flat as they come or chain).

[JoshC]

@flannel-slut Hell yeah man! looking really good, glad you are happy with it. Maybe we should look into Iron Heart suspenders be all that.

These are so rad...too bad my size is sold out. I would have purchased one tomorrow. Hoping for a restock sometime but it looks like it may be a while...

I love mine, they have become my most worn jeans.

However, lately the chinch has started coming undone - I think due to a combination of the fabric softening and the metal bending ever so slightly.

Does anyone have a suggestion for fixing it? I could probably stitch the two ends of fabric together, but is there any better solution?

@ShopatIronHeart any suggestions?

So awesome that you love the pants. The cinch thing is not something we have come across. Really hoping some other cinch heads can chime in with a sollution. Would love to see a photo, tag me in it so we can take a look to see if there is a glaring fix that we can see.

@Graham

Thanks

Looking at the pictures I think the issue is that the metal part of the cinch has become slightly warped. That means that the spikes can pass through it, even Chen the fabric is there as well.

Hi @TeflonDon

I know this issue. Had the same problem with my 728.
But it is an easy fix.
Use a flat nose spliers and bring the parts back together.

[TeflonDon]

That seems like the right fix, thanks a lot!

It wasn’t until I took the pictures that I realized the problem was with the metal, not the fabric.

Heading for the tool shed now

Could you solve the issue @TeflonDon ?

I avoid to pierce the cinch back totally, like shown on the product page.
This causes tremendous problems.

It is possible to set the distance of the two pins in that way, they only punch through the first layer of denim.

[TeflonDon]

I’d thrown them in the washer, so no, I didn’t get to try.

I had noticed that the pins on mine never pierced the fabric completely- and taking your warning into account I’ll keep it that way.

I hope to get it done tomorrow - I’ll post an update.

Worked like a charm. I didn’t manage to make the cinch 100 straight, but this seems to work perfectly.

Thanks for the input!
