    @RobeOfTheMagi Easy answer for me and it would be one of the IHSH-33’s. Pick your colour and you can’t go wrong.

      Another vote for the 33. It's such a great shirt.

            Well not quite. I want blue denim. But contrast stitching or not?

                Got the tonal blue version :).

                Sorry, pechelman.

                        @RobeOfTheMagi 33B was my first IH piece...its crazy soft at this point and I will keep it forever!!

                        I was going to throw the 295s into the mix. I LOVE the 14oz as a shirt denim.

                          Hello everybody, just joined the forum. I was wondering if there some sort of Levi's/Iron Heart similarity chart. For example a Levis 501 is similar to a 666, a Levis 514 similar to a 633, etc. I have already measured my preferred jeans and know i can try and compare all measurements one by one on the size charts. But I would like to hear from actual people who have worn both or are trying to figure out the same as me.

                          I couldn't find using the Search function. If by any chance someone has already seen a thread on this I'm apologizing in advance and can you point me in the right direction.

                            @dirtyike i believe the 634 resembles a 60s era 501.

                            In MY experience the 633 fits closer to an 80s/90s 501

                            Those are the closest analogues that come to mind

                                The IH-634 is based on the 1966 501. The IH-1955, wait for it, is based on the 1955 501. The cut of the Levi's 501 changes over time to meet the then current fashion sensibilities:

                                I don't know if they do that with their other models, but I bet they do.

                                    Is a future slim cut with a more pronounced taper too much to hope for

                                    I'm pretty new to Iron Heart but I really love the IH denim fabrics. Most jeans I've worn previously have hems that are 6-7" (waist size 34-35), so fairly narrow hems, which I feel is flattering considering my pretty skinny legs. The IH cuts, even the 777, are still fairly wide over my ankles and tend to cover more of my boots/shoes than I prefer.

                                    I would be over the moon over an IH fit with a more narrow hem. "Super slim tapered"? Am I hoping for too much?

                                      Yes, sorry. It took a massive amount of persuasion to get Haraki to do the 555, I cant see him agreeing to anything slimmer. And it's not really our aesthetic I am afraid.

                                        @V-P One option that a few of the forum members have tried is taking their jeans to a tailor and having them fitted exactly the way they wanted. It’s turned out well for those who have tried and might be something that would work for you.

                                          @Giles Yeah, I was afraid so. And I get the aesthetic aspect. Though, it would have been fantastic!
