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

                    @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!

                                        @goosehd I've considered doing that but I'm not sure if I can find a tailor I trust where I live (Sweden). I need to do some research I guess. Does anyone have pictures of their recut/tapered jeans?

                                          @V-P I think @CosmoSix5 has had some of his tailored for a slimmer hem.

                                            I linked to his pictures, but if you go back through the thread you will get more information on what he did and who he used (Denimdoctor).
