Thanks @neph93 will do - super interested in a stretch 555!
-
@ThunderHawk – Welcome dude!
I, too, have larger thighs (25/26"). True waist is a 33" and midrise (for the 634 cut) I need a 34 tagged or a 33 tagged for the XHS version of that cut. If you want to see how that can look, check out my post from WAYWT today. Good luck with your hunt man! I hear that the 888 is great for our kind
-
@henry_david that's exactly the silhouette I'm looking for! Looks great. Just ordered a pair of 888s in a 33 tag today, hoping it's the right call. Thanks for the insight into the 634s, those were also on my list.
-
@ThunderHawk – Thanks man! Yeah, I myself haven't had an opportunity to snap up some 888s (I just love the 634s a bunch), but I aim to do so at some point this year in the 14oz. I'm stoked to hear how it pans out for you and hope to see some photo updates in the WAYWT thread!

Hello all,
New member from the Lincolnshire area, thank you for adding me
I have always appreciated buying better quality clothing (well everything really) for its increased longevity and hopefully better user experience. But now looking to step up into (what I perceive to be) the upper echelons of clothing with some Iron Heart (likely to be shirts first). I first heard about Iron Heart through the Carl Murawski YT channel (he reviews various high end stuff, I'm sure many of you are aware of him) where he spoke very highly of the shirts he had from Iron Heart.
I will be doing some more digging into the exact fit before I make my first purchase, in fact I'm hoping to visit the store when it opens again so hopefully I will actually get to try things the old fashioned way first. I'm by no means built like a Dorito but I always struggle to find shirts that taper in enough below the chest to avoid having loads of unsightly excess material, and when its jeans it usually means I have to buy a much bigger waist just to get my thighs and butt in. Any suggestions on style or cuts that better fit a slimmer broad shouldered guy?
No doubt I'll be cast into the dungeons for admitting this but I recently bought some jeans from Olympvs as they make more allowance for bigger thighs that most. All in all they're decent "jeans" for the money, but the quality is what it is and as they're so stretchy I am not confident they will last anywhere near as long as proper denim.
Sorry I got carried away there ^ happy to be here and looking forward to trying my first pieces soon.

Hi All,
I've been lurking for some time, but only recently jumped into Iron Heart and I can already feel the soon-to-be addiction & downward spiral affecting all better banking judgement.
So far:
IHSH-247-RED
IHSH-276-INDI'm eyeing the IHSH-62 IND or the IHSH-33 as a next purchase, but still undecided as to which will be next.
(a friendly nudge in either direction would be welcome)And not to throw noobie weight around, but has anyone thought of the IHSH-62 w/out the wabash?
Seems a fine material on its own.Anyway, this group seems friendly enough to join, so thanks for having me onboard.

Hi All,
Welcome. Good to have you here.
Both the IHSH-33-IND and IHSH-62-IND are classic IH shirts. Very different though. The 33 is a denim western perfected, it will get soft and worn quick. The 62 is a lot tougher ans smarter.
As for a Wabash without Wabash, the 62 fabric is a straightforward serge. The olive and black IHSH-235’s are essentially what you are talking about. No indigo version yet, but never say never.

Thanks, neph.
And excellent review of the Shinayaka denim.
Really enjoyed reading it (both versions) -
Welcome to the forum Paul! I hope you enjoy you time here. Please enjoy your newfound addiction

Hello all! I’ve been lurking for some months, finally getting around to joining. Well, let’s see, otr trucker, high end tobacco pipe collector, cigar lover, Iron Heart Obsessed! Have a bunch of westerN shirts, 2 corduroy jackets, no jeans yet though. Fat waist skinny legs so I’m still researching what would be the best fit. The Indigo Kersey shirt is the best shirt I’ve ever owned. Xxxxl is my fit. It’s unfortunate that size is in such small numbers. Maybe I should be quicker to buy though. Currently searching for that Ombré shirt in Indigo. No 4xl’s anywhere. Anyways, it will take some time to figure out how to post pics and such, but I look forward to future interactions.

Sounds like a job for the 555 cut.
As for big boy shirts, your pain is shared by many. The best move is to follow along here and sign up for release notifications. That way you can put ot in your diary/set an alarm clock and give yourself a great chance of scoring what you need.

Hi all,
I've been lurking on here for several years and have posted on r/rawdenim pretty extensively in the past, however the account I was using there I deleted.
Anyways I'm a cabinet maker by trade, home renovator by necessity, and started off my denim journey as a lot seem to, blowing through jeans really quickly and looking for something better. Started off with a couple pairs of Unbranded, the one that I still really enjoy is the UB277, which is a 21oz red weft material that fades like nobody's business. After beating on those I tried Bravestar and realized that their measurements were super inconsistent and they don't really put forth effort to make that easier.
Started off my IH problem with a pair of the IH634s and have about a year into them, I've posted some pictures on the specific product thread.
Got into a pair of 634XHSib recently and am now officially hooked.
Take care all, see you around.

Hi everyone! New here! I’m so proud of joining this awesome community of ‘ironhearted’ people. Here’s my first bottom pick up.
A very tough IH666XHSib. My finger tips are on fire because all efforts put in button it up!

Greetings and welcome @spaniarddh! Looks like you dove right into the deep with perfect form! That's a great fit on those 666's you got there!
