Iron Heart and slub, I never thought I'd see the day!

Nor me…..It's part of the new "I will try and make things that people want, not just things that I like" policy from H....When he told me this, I placed my hand on his forehead and asked him if he was feeling OK....

Harley Davidson increased their prices recently

Looking great!

Any chances you could post a some comparison photos of this denim along with maybe your flagship 21oz with both in the same photo to truly highlight the differences side by side?

@Giles After seeing these in hand: Is Haraki reconsidering selling these in Japan?

@AdamJ thanks!!

The more I see this denim, the more I want it…

But then, that's kinda the point of this thread isn't it? 

[AdamJ]

It was actually more difficult than I anticipated shooting the difference. The difference in feel of the texture on the slub is remarkable in comparison to the 21oz

Not as far as I am aware….

Been preparing for this since I saw the confirmation come up that the denim was actually being made.  I Love the fact that we'll have a "mid-weight" slub option backed by the Stubborn Crew.  I enjoy my PBJ's and Oni's…the slub fades are much different from the old school "Cone Mills" type smooth faced denim that I wear mostly (including IH).  But the uncomfortable fact is that they are all unsanforized and, after soaking, are a bit like wearing a wearing a cardboard rug for the first month or two.  When I hear of super heavyweight slub denim it makes the hairs on my legs run and hide.

I'm interested to feel H's take on slub...could just be the innovation it needs.

Same. At first first I was like, "…only 16.5 15.4 ounces… pffftt" then the neato back pocket and the other pictures got me.

[Giles]

For the avoidance of doubt.  The 5 core cuts will not include any of the following:

1. The patch (will not see the light of day on any garment)
2. The placement of the "W"
3. The shape of the pocket
4. The extravagant use of dual-tone stitching

[Seul]

It's just a bloody patch but I really like the design… Nevertheless, none of those things will dissuade me from getting a pair

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I'm interested to see what cut this is and what that patch will look like. I'm hoping it is the forbidden cut that is not to be named here. 

[Nskelton]

Yeah, I think indigo stitching would be ideal, show off all the slubby-ness.

[Giles]

Not happening, sorry….

Live Large! Love it, very curious about the mystery cut too.

[J-IV]

Holy shit - this thread blew the hell up! New denim, new patch, new cut?!

Curious if theres any backstory to the new back pocket shape? And if these are all IHUK exclusive?

Yes, there is
@Giles:

But I can't tell you anything about that jean yet.
