        Hi @Dishelveled,

        I'm kind of a newbie re: IH, but having a store in town such as Kentaurus has its advantages & disadvantages…  😉

        @Dishelveled:

        Welcome to the party, Paul!

        What a great resource being close to Kentarus–they always seem to be on the list of IH vendors when the heat drops!

              Hi there.  Figured I'd do a quick intro.  I'm pretty new to this raw denim malarkey, but have extensive experience with trousers, having worn them on-and-off for the vast majority of my life.  Have been reading page after page after page, trying to glean as much info as possible on what to make my first pair of Iron Hearts for the charmingly brisk Minnesota winter which is currently in the mail (albeit some ways away right now).  This is always assuming I can pry my wallet open far enough to spend over $300 on a pair of pants.  That remains to be seen.

              I'm English, moved to Japan at 25, and then moved to Minnesota around 6 years after that.  I enjoy a bit of the old fatbiking and skateboarding.  My favourite pair of jeans ever are, for my sins, my JNCO Crime Scenes.  I absolutely adore wearing them, and I pretty much live in those suckers when at home during the colder months.  However, as they are not desperately practical for any environment outside of said home, other trousers are something of a necessity.  On a side note to this side note*… it is still a mystery to me how JNCO ever became considered 'skate' wear.  Maybe people used to enjoy getting tangled up and faceplanting a whole lot more back in the '90s.  Eh.  Who knows...

              Anyways...  Over the course of the next few months I intend to potentially decide on a pair of Iron Heart jeans and potentially pry my aforementioned wallet open juuust about far enough to purchase them.  Thanks in advance for all the information you are putting on the forum to make my first-ever-Iron-Hearts decision both easier and more difficult to varying degrees.  At the moment I'm thinking 888S, as the 888-XHS does not exist and I'm concerned about the lower rise of the 634-XHS.  I'm not a monk, and have no desire to put myself through the kind of nether-regions torture I read about some poor soul experiencing on the 634-XHS thread.

              That's probably enough now.  Yoroshiku, ne!

              *If my calculations are correct, assuming perpendicular axes, this should now be running parallel to the original note.

                @nurunuru  welcome and thanks for the entertaining intro.

                Word to the wise, the 634-XHS crotch thing is more a consequence of the XHS than the 634. Of course sizing may have been an issue too but the XHS is a glorious beast of a denim and will fekk with you one way or another the first couple of weeks whatever the cut. Totally worth it though.

                  nurunuru - how droll… I thought you were a very eloquent and funny Yank but of course you prove to be a Brit...  😃 As I was reading, I immediately figured you'd be a good match for a pair of 888s...

                  And welcome, welcome nuru!..

                    Thank you, both!

                    Yeah… it seems pretty tough to go wrong with the 888S as a starting point.  Plus, $325 is slightly easier to justify than $400  😃  We were out with friends last night, and I had cause to lament an accidental drippage of queso on my N&F raws... which swiftly evolved into a conversation about the price of my jeans and how much the jeans I'd be looking at getting for winter would cost and then me suddenly being on the end of a Spanish Inquisition as to how any pair of jeans could be worth $400.  I certainly hadn't anticipated being put on the spot like that... but then you know what they say about the Spanish Inquisition.

                    I think I just about held my own.

                    Anyways...  As it's just getting hotter over here and I'm in no particular rush, I guess I'll just see whether any sales roll around between now and the inevitable cold snap!

                            Hey all, thought I would take a minute to do this.

                            I've been wearing raws for the last 10+ years, A.P.C's, Diors, Nudie, Strike Gold, etc.

                            Right now I'm rotating some Studio D'Artisan SD-307, Skulls 5010xx's and some LVC 1947 501's and just ordered some IH-634-DD after buying a few IH pocket shirts in Australia and getting hooked on the quality.

                            Thanks all for being a great help with sizing and fit already, I look forward to plenty more fun to come!  🙂

                                  Hi all, my first post here. I finally decided to join the forum after lurking for a while. I started out with a pair of 666S-19L after returning jeans from another brand that I just couldn't get the sizing right on. The thing that really stood out to me about that first pair of IH is the quality and attention to detail. It's just so satisfying. It's all been downhill from there and I've since picked up a UHF and a pair of 777.

                                            Hi, just thought I'd introduce myself.

                                            I'm Nick and I'm from the north east of England. I've been lurking for a while but think I'm almost ready to take the plunge on a pair of Iron Hearts.

                                            Just trying to decide which cut to go for at the moment which is proving tricky! I know I definitely want the 21oz selvedge.

                                            Currently have a couple of 501 selvedge, Edwin ED 47 rainbow, Nashville and Brave star slim straights in 16.5oz among a few others so Iron Heart will be quite a jump in price and quality.

                                            I also bought some Hoggs of Fife Rannoch thanks to browsing this forum! love them
