I am new here but just wanted to stop by and say how much I love IH’s denim. I purchased my first pair of IH jeans a few months ago. I got the 777 in the 21oz and absolutely love them. Haven’t washed/soaked them yet, but I’ve been doing a bunch of Bulgarian split squats whenever I wear them and I am starting so see some fades come in.

I got my second pair of IHs about a month ago. The 555 in the slubby overdyed. The texture on those are wild!! I like the 555 cut way more because it has a much more aggressive taper below the knees than the 777.

I’m a millennial so I like my least slim and tapered. When I compared the measurements online it doesn’t seem like the 555 would be all that much slimmer, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I am super eager to get my hands on the 555 in the 25oz! Based off the other comments it seems like we might be getting close to a restock

@Jcaz6996 @Oaktavia how often do you guys wash your denim? Both you guys have epic fades in all your pieces

[Oaktavia]

@wjw it depends on a lot of factors, how dirty it gets, how hot and sweaty/grimey it becomes. Anywhere from a month of wear to a few months if I'm wearing it daily. I tend to wash my tops sooner and more often. But if I'm not wearing something every day or even a lot, it might go over a year without washing.

I've been waiting for these like crazy. But I'm wondering if I should keep wearing the 21oz I've got and wait for the IB? I've never had XHS for reference. I'd be a 36 in this run also so 9.1" knee and 8.6" hem is huge imo. How much will those shrink? Thanks! I doubt my seamstress can't taper these lol

[yannis]

You may loose 0.2 to 0.3 of the hem width probably not more. 8.6 hem feels too wide for you?

[V-P]

I agree the hem is wider than I would have preferred and hoped for. And the annoying thing is that the 777’s are basically identical from the thigh and down. The difference between the models is pretty much in the rise.

I’m hoping for a slightly narrower hem on the I/B 777 or 555.

[CosmoSix5]

777 was my first foray into Iron Heart. The low rise made me look ridiculous.(More than normal ) I'm always tempted to try again but it's a fools errand. Yes I like a tapered taper. These 21oz 555 are down to 7.5ish and my RGT SK are 7.8. if my waist was 3 sizes lower I'd be set.

[catdad1]

keep in mind the waist shrinks ~1" after the initial soak. Knee and hem would theoretically shrink accordingly. I found XHS to shrink the most out of all my IH fabrics. That being said i took my normal size as the size charts appear to account for shrinkage.

[CosmoSix5]

@catdad1 indeed. That's how I settled on the 36 tag size. Close to a 35 but it's to close for my first XHS. We will see though, lots of measurements taken this week

[CosmoSix5]

Not the end of the world but I'm glad I measured! I'd need a small 38 as my jeans are 19" measured the IH way.
