IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut

[Guest]

Took them down when still cold to the touch in the waistband.  Put on a thick belt and walked around for two hours.  Totally dry in the 90 degree weather.  Still wearing them, I'll measure them tonight and post…

How do you like them adam?

These are glorious!  This was my first time soaking a pair, and now that they've shrunk to fit, I feel like I own them.  They enrich my life and will give special meaning to everything that I do.  This denim is twice as thick as my thickest pair, and they've already started to soften.  They're so hard to take off its like a binding contract between me and the jeans, I take them off when they let me.  Its only been two days of wearing, but I would spend all of my money on the Iron Heart website right now if I thought I could get away with it.

However, the inseam shrank to 33.25", and my ideal inseam for stacks is 32".  I was hesitantly considering having these hemmed, but could anyone tell me from experience how these jeans stack?  Would the extra inch of length be too much, or will these jeans be able adjust?  I am still anticipating some shortening of the inseam when the creases behind the knee finally set-in, but I do not know how much to expect.  Any comments are appreciated, Thanks!

adam313: aaaah you're in love ey!.. I know how it feels lad… 

But we need pics, indeed!..

[Blackheart]

Don't cut them off adam, they will crease and raise up on their own. You may even get a bit some
shinkage with future soaks so wear them for a while before you shorten them.

I was going to get mine hemmed, I usually go for 34 but decided after less than a weeks wear to leave them at 35.? as they seem to be fine now. So I'd say just wear them for a bit longer, see how you get on, you can alway do it later but once done you can't go back.

I will take that advice, much thanks!  It's 33 C here in New Mexico today, me and my SR's are fusing into one solid chunk of IRON!! All is well…

[Blackheart]

Enjoy them adam and post some fit pics soon okay? Oh, and invest in a crow bar…

I'm gonna sound like an arsehole on SuFu but I don't like cellphone fades. 

This does not take away from me being in love with how they look, though!..

Probably a small wallet/card case

Well you know what I mean. "Those" kind of fades…
