@Michael_W IH-1955S-142 is the next one, hopefully soon July/August time and then IH-1955S-SB around October/November time.
That’s a pretty quick restock turn around on these 142’s!
-
These are my first Iron Heart jeans! Looking forward to a great fit.
Is anyone a bit surprised at the "unevenness" of the 14oz fabric? My impression has been that (with the exception of the explicit slub denims) IH makes cleaner, "modern production" weaves. I'm seeing bits of thick yarn pop out every few inches

@SuitOfUHF post some pics

Sounds to me like you might’ve gotten The Shop’s slubby 1955 collab
Don’t think so. (BTW is the Japanese founder writing the English here lol)
-
Looks like a smooth hand denim to me. Definitely not the 16oz slubby..
-
Yep that’s the regular 14 oz. Just thought from the verbal description he gave, maybe?
Anyway, im not seeing what you’re seeing, @SuitOfUHF . The 14 oz denim is pretty smooth stuff, though it does have the double twisted weft.
Are you referring to the blue nubbins in your pics?

Yes exactly, the nubbins. I'm not super bothered if they are not structural (which they don't appear to be)

As for the slightly odd English on the tag, it’s a quirk of many Japanese brands, and a lot of westerners enjoy it. Sure, they could ‘fix’ it if they wanted, but then it would be less memorable.
Embrace the “true goodness”
-
We could fix it, but I love it, and converting the Jinglish to English would be so much less fun. I used to have a policy of never wearing a Japanese T-Shirt unless it had some Jinglish on it.
And BTW, Haraki's English is nowhere as good as that, so it would not be him
Funnily enough, our Left Hand Twill (LHT) denim is called Lefty by the Japanese. In a meeting when the LHT was first shown to me, I jokingly referred to it as Lefty (a poor political allusion), there was no way the Japanese would have got the joke. But they did think that Lefty was the correction western term for a LHT, so that is what it is now......
-
True goodness is understood
-
Would be funnier to read it in an accent that would get us censored in 2026...
Another interesting (?) find: there is some use of fusible interlining on the 14oz jeans
Anyways, too hot to wear right now, but look forward to breaking these in as soon as the weather allows. If the fit is ideal for me, hoping to get this in the 21oz and other fabrics

How do the fit of these compare to the 634 fit? I have a size 38 -21 oz overdue from the last drop that I really like the fit of.
These seem higher waisted and more of a taper when comparing same size.
-
You can run a compare from either products web page.

Did yall move the rear pockets up on these? I’m noticing in the 14oz announcement shots that the top of the rear pockets line up with the front pockets. On my 21oz’s the top of the rear pockets are about 1cm lower then where the front pockets hit the side seams
Life's for living!
