@CosmoSix5 How long did it take to dry on you?

Thanks twin. It took a long time. That's my unscientific answer lol. Over 6 hours and weren't totally dry when I took them off. About 90%. But it was bedtime lol

[CosmoSix5]

Pre and post soak. This fabric is so great... The inseam shrank a lot! Glad IHUK helped me hem appropriately.

@CosmoSix5 Aren't you like 6'4" or something?

To what length did you have them hemmed?

35.5" 6'5"

[branpureza]

@CosmoSix5 6'5" daaaang stretch.

35.5" is how long mine were hemmed to as well. I'm only 6'2" but I like a single 2-inch cuff.

They should land about right after I soak mine. My sanforized and washed jeans are 34-34.5".

[CosmoSix5]

I'm shocked at the waist stretch I got on these. To the point, I'm debating a warm soak(will be the 2nd) but I don't want to do it if it will mess up my creases. Any help is appreciated. Still fit great, if I get the IB XHS I'll go down a bit from these. Maybe just get the waist/bum area hot wet and wear? These are fun problems to have btw

[Rococo]

@CosmoSix5 I would just take those to a tailor and have them remove the excess fabric, the fit will be much cleaner.

[V-P]

@CosmoSix5 Did they stretch beyond the initial pre soak measurements?

[CosmoSix5]

@V-P slightly. They were very tight when I got them so I did a colder soak out of caution. Looking back I wish I'd have done warm. Still very happy tho

[CosmoSix5]

@branpureza I probably won't hem the Indigo Black at all. Hot soak and bam.

Very impressed with these 25oz 777's i think the fit is pretty good, though they will need hemming again
ive had to fold the leg cuffs three times!

going to be wearing these to work as much as possible.

First pair of iron hearts. Am i right to think these jeans are supposed to fit pretty low on your hip. I got the 34 and had them hemmed to 31. Im actually a 33 waist I believe but these are supposed to shrink an inch after a hot soak right. On the website it said these jeans would be a 33 waist but I think there a 34 mind you i havent got a tape handy though. I do like them anyway thanks for this great site im pretty new to selvedge!

[nurunuru]

@jrb1975 Yeah, they've got a low rise and are supposed to sit low. Fit looks great, I'd say! And it's good you've got a little extra hem length to allow for a bit of inseam shrinkage in the wash and the fabric bunching from combs as they form. Enjoy!

@jrb1975 congrats on your first pair. For a detailed comparison of the various cuts see here:

As a general comment: tag sizes can be misleading. Always look at the measurements posted on the product page to get an idea of which size to pick. This guide explains how to measure your denim the Iron Heart way to allow you to compare directly:

Feel free to post questions on here or reach out to the Crew directly at shop@ironheart.co.uk if you are looking for specific measurements on an item you are interested in.

Also note that the shrinkage in the waist is temporary and will stretch back out with time and wear. Shrinkage in the other areas tends to be more permanent.

@jrb1975 to add, @goosehd has written a comprehensive guide on how he approaches any purchase. Excellent write-up and recommended reading, especially if you are new to Iron Heart
