    @bluemantra I'd prefer the more relaxed 33 especially in the thighs and knee area they look more comfortable.

      @bluemantra I think if you have full mobility in the 32 (especially in the thigh) go with that, but if movement is hindered at all go 33

        @Daniel-San It is a tough call. I gave the tag 32s around 2 weeks. With the tag 33 I can see needing a belt to keep them up after break-in and with the 32s no belt needed. I prefer no belt needed, but get the points about having different fits.

          Boy do these not feel like heavy weight denim at all, soft and breathable. Gonna be no problem come summer time.

                    Hello. I have around 25 wears on my first pair of IH, first pair of Selvedge denim ever! I went w the 666s-21 that I picked up from Rivet & Hide while on holiday in London. While I do love them I'm finding the crotch area to be constricting especially when I squat down to pick something up or get into and out of my car etc. while it's not a deal breaker I will admit it deters me from wearing them as often as I'd like.
                    So..do I just need to suck it up and continue to beat them into submission or is this just life for my future w these jeans.
                    I'm considering a lighter weight for the summer months as my second pair..should I consider a different cut? Like the 888?
                    I appreciate some feedback on the fit based on pictures and the communities knowledge.
                    Lastly, I have not washed these yet.
                    Thanks!!IMG_0529.jpeg

                      @j3butch1 This is a tough one for me as I think the fit looks good, but am torn about you saying they are constricting. The 21oz are some of the easiest pairs of denim to break in and are pretty soft when new. They will get softer with wear, but if you're not comfortable in them, you won't wear them.

                      You could try a different cut, just keep wearing them as they soften to see if they become more comfortable for you, or try both a different cut/denim.

                      If you are having difficulty with the 21oz, you definitely need to stay away from some of the other denim weights such as 25oz., 19oz. lefties, etc.

                      The 16oz slubby denim is in my opinion the easiest pair of Iron Heart denim to break in and wear.

                      Hoping some of the other guys will chime in with their thoughts.

                        @j3butch1 what do you carry in your front pockets? pictures look like you have stuff in there, also going by the fades which are already visible. that may add to feeling restricted.

                          @tody small pocket knife on the right & money clip on the left. I don't believe that's the issue but I really appreciate you taking a look!

                            Was going to suggest/ask the same thing as tody above. Other than a pocket knife removing everything from pockets can be a big help.

                            Also I've had some limited success with going a size up in 666 to fit a bit like something half way to a 634 with a higher rise. At 25 days you'll have probably stretched these to where they'll settle. Know that they can tighten back up depending on how you wash and dry in case it's really snug now.

                              @j3butch1 I know what you mean regarding the 666. In my experience sizing up in the 666 is one way around it, or going with a different cut. Personally I typically prefer the 777 or 555, neither of which feel constricting in my experience. (Keep in mind body shapes vary wildly. Looking at the pictures I'd say we're not that far off though).

                              You could go for the 888, but personally I find that cut to be a little too generous in the thigh/crotch/rear area. (I sold a pair of 888-XHS for that reason). 777 or 555 seem to be just right for me, or the 634 if you want a straighter/less tapered fit.

                              As always, hard to make recommendations when we all vary in both body shape and how we like our jeans to fit/feel.

                                @goosehd thx for the reply. I'm good w the weight of them but simple tasks like getting on my towny bike are about impossible in these! I'm thinking I need to try 888's or something w a higher rise and more room in the mid section.

                                    @Davids_denim man I love the fades you have going here. Proves how awesome the 21 OG fades when you put the time in. I have a pair of these that have been my “clean” pair but seeing yours makes me want to put them in the proper rotation. Keep us posted after you wash

                                        @Graham any chance these might get restocked again this year? If the fit is similar to the 14oz version, I believe I'm looking for a size 34
