@mitzimeow IH jeans are handmade, meaning no pair is alike and measurements might differ in certain areas to make a different size still work for you. If it was an extant model still available regularly at IH you can always ask the IH crew to check for a specific pair that might suits your specific needs/measurements. Going second hand is always a gamble. You could still ask the seller to measure the pair tho.

@mitzimeow. I am assuming your jeans are the 21oz and I say assuming because the 106 is unfamiliar to me. If thats the case the 21oz is not known for fading with high contrast.. Thats is more 25oz, UHR or 19L territory. In addition if you are washing in often it will naturally fade more uniformly.

Has anyone ordered from Kicks Crew? I’m trying to find out if they’d charge additional duties on delivery to the US.

@yannis The 106 was a ladies 21OZ Bootcut Jean. It came right up when I searched for it. The thread dated back to 2010. Even before my time. I would think that they’re pretty rare.

One of the first jeans we made........21oz non selvedge denim.

[mitzimeow]

@yannis Oh wow, very interesting. Yeah, they are deffo 21oz, but I've never known about the fading properties of the material. Cool to confirm! The cut is amazing, so the lack of contrast is ok by me at the end of the day. In a perfect world, though........

Noticed my recent purchase was being shipped with UPS. Did DHL not pan out? Just curious

[goosehd]

@SKT it did not: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/950063

@goosehd thanks man, don’t know how I missed that.

[goosehd]

@SKT honestly, there are days that it’s hard to keep up with all of the new posts. Get a few days behind and it’s almost impossible…I know that occasionally I run across a post and can’t figure out the same thing.

@goosehd who are you and what are you talking about?

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago good question, I could be in Germany right now drinking beer, fishing in Portugal drinking wine and beer, or as I spent my morning at the dentist office.

My priorities are clearly not in line…

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd eitler ohne of the first two options is preferable

Picked these up a couple months ago at IH Kojima. Are they a bit of a unicorn?

[goosehd]

@Boggzy17 I’m sorry, but they are not rare: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk/topic/8806/ih-634s-21l-ind-21oz-left-hand-twill-selvedge-denim-straight-cut-indigo?_=1776535192079

Edit: I guess it depends on your definition of unicorn.

We made a few 100.....

[Jett129]

@Giles Even though there were,initially,a few hundred,is it highly unlikely these will be run again, anytime soon,if ever? If so they might attain Unicorn Status over time.

It’s an impossible question to answer definitively….,
