IH-777S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo
-
Hey guys!
These 142‘s were my first IH denims and I‘ve had them in rotation over the last 2 years. I actually don‘t recall when I bought them, but it was either summer '22 or '23.
They have become really great pants and I‘m really happy with them. I commute by bicycle and I think it shows and meant some high crotch wear. Nothing is blown out yet, but I wondering if it‘s time to send these for repairs?

@BalticBob If you want to send these into me, I am more than happy to get these fixed up for you, better to get some of these bits sorted before it gets worse. Cycling is definitely the bane of denim, and personally I would avoid riding in jeans but thats my opinion, as it causes more stress around that area, let me know if you want to send the jeans in for repair and I will talk/email you through the processes, but definitely not a problem to get these fixed up.

@JoshC thanks for the reply. I‘ll certainly send these into you then while they’re fresh out the wash! Looking forward to it!
On the riding in fancy jeans topic: I debated this personally a lot, but generally I‘m only riding around the city for short trips and down to work which is a 20km round trip, and I could, of course, wear different pants to ride to work but, the question I have to ask is: would a cow boy take his jeans of to ride his horse?
My conclusion is that I where jeans and they have to fit what I do in them, if they blow out in the crotch because my huge thighs tear them apart as I race every unsuspecting mom to work, then rad! Looking forward to some high quality crotch stitches and some eggstra character for my pants.

@BalticBob haha this is true but would a cowboys jean be as slim as a 777 cut? and there could be an argument made in-regards to the amount of friction cycling compared to horse riding, but im not a horse rider so my point of view could be a bit like opinions haha. It was always something that myself and the staff noticed when I worked in London for Nudie Jeans, we found people that cycled in their jeans were prone to blow-out quickier especially if they wore a fairly slim cut and it was tight on around the thigh, compared to people that just walked everywhere.
Any battle scars are good battle scars for jeans, just adds to the beauty and story of that pair of denim being completely unique to you. Just give me a email at shop@ironheart.co.uk when you want to send them in and I will talk you through it all and we will get it sorted.

@JoshC that‘s only because cowboys didn‘t have the 777s as an option!
Thank you, I‘ll get this request in to you.

So, my first brand new pair of IH jeans having jumped from Oni and Samurai. I though I would miss my new, but so far all good. I have a pair of 666 fade to blacks in 14oz which I had tailored to fit my waist. I have done 3k on a wattbike in them since buying ( with a hard wallet in the back pocket obs!) And this week it the first wash. No sure whether to expect some decent whiskers or just hear them laughing at me as they live up to the slow fade reputation. Some stunning examples in this thread.
