        Dear Iron Heart,
        it is rather unfortunate to see the 36-inch inseams slowly becoming a rarity at Iron Heart jeans. For those of us on the taller side, finding jeans that actually reach the ankles should not feel like a luxury - yet here we are, apparently expected to make peace with an unintended cropped look. Please, keep Iron Heart jeans at a glorious 36 inch length.

        Like @Alex , I am a little confused.

        20 years ago we did not make anything over 34" inseam. This was clearly long enough for most Japanese people, but not for the western market. So I requested that we start making all jeans 35" plus. I have just done a random check of 15 models of jeans and they were all between 35.5 and 37. Once we fix a pattern, it does not change, so there is no way that we could even accidentally shorten the inseam of production items. There may be a few OG work pants that are still at 34", because we just could not be bothered to change the production pattern, for what was a slow seller 15-20 years ago. For a while, up until about 12 years ago, Haraki did some 634 models in 34" inseam for the Japanese domestic market, even though in the west we were taking 36". I asked him to stop doing that because it meant when we restocked from his stock we had some 34 and some 36 inseam jeans in stock in UK, which was inconvenient and messy. So he even changed his Japanese domestic inseam to a longer length....

            @Giles Thanks a lot for your answer! Two of my favorites the 21oz 634S and the 21oz 888 no longer come in 36 inch inseam, stops at 35 or 35.5 inch.

              That will be down to the vagaries of the denim and variable shrinkage when we one-wash them, not a deliberate change to the cut. It may well be that the next run will be longer.

              It is well worth asking the crew, what the longest inseam we have is in your tag size..

                      Any chance Iron Heart would ever consider making a low rise, like the 777, but with a straight leg, without taper? Just curious, because my go to fit in Iron Heart is the 777, but I wish they had a slightly bigger bottom hem opening to fit over boots.

                          I think any color solid UHF like the black one coming out this season would sell like crazy. Teal, orange, blue, green, purple, everything would work

                            Not in the foreseeable future. We can't make enough denims in the mills, nor make enough jeans in the workshops to keep our current cuts stocked in sensible (non customer irritating) quantities. Adding anything more, would spread us even thinner, which would be a silly thing to do. So we have to fix production issues (which may be unfixable) before we think about expanding the range.

                            Then there my standard demand metric. Ask 100 people what their ideal cut would be, and you get 101 different answers.....That complicates things.....
