18 oz denim is so nice oh with knee repairs

[superfuzz]

Wow that looks great! Haven't seen much 18oz evo in a while.

I was putting them away for warmer weather,  but then cooler weather came back. My favorite jeans in my Iron Heart rotation

Yeah, Monday, these are truly great.
I probably would have considered leaving them unrepaired and rock the torn look in my off hours. But I fully understand that you can put them to more use this way, repair was also excellently done!

Yes, thanks for sharing @madmonday ! These pics have made it clear that my next pair must be the 18oz'ers.

I am here to seek advice from this assemblage of the worlds finest denim aficionados.
I am about to pull the trigger on my first pair of IH Jeans and having read this thread I am no closer to feeling comfortable with sizing. Any advice would be appreciated

I currently own 3sixteens, with one being unsanforized and the other sanforized. They are both sized 34.

Measurements are

316+                                                      316 st220X
waist= 34                                            Waist = 35
FR= 10.5                                              FR= 11
RR= 15                                                RR=14.5
th= 12                                                Th= 12.25 
kn= 9                                                  Kn= 8.5
hem= 7.5                                            Hem = 7.5

The 316+ are well worn and I would be a touch happier if they were a hair roomier in the waist and upper block. I have looked and looked at the measurements of the 36&34 and I am torn. I am leaning towards a little more room accommodate my size, so am thinking the 36 with a good hot soak would be good. I just really don't know and I am trying to avoid the return shipping for an exchange…
I defer to you group of experts in all things Iron Heart and am hoping you can steer me in the right direction so I can begin my obsession with IH pants (I'm already an avid fan of the tops).
Thank You!

Measured the way we measure?

I have. Many times.
I guess I'm wondering thoughts on a waist that will be a touch loose vs. spot on/snug, as all other measurements seem to be okay for me?

32 or 33.  Over to you….As you say, one will be snug, the other loose....

Hi @boognish

Sam here… the guy whose legs are in the pics on the website.
Just wanted to drop my 2 cents on the situation. The 555-02's were my first ever IH's too and i love them.
I've just had a quick read of your messages and i think you'd be better off with the tag 33's. You said you wanted a bit extra space in the waist and they'll still fit you nicely in the thighs.

Go for it buddy. You won't be disappointed.

@sam @giles
Hard sell fellas! And god-damn I'm a sucker for peer pressure!33 ordered. I'm hoping there is a diamond in the rough that measures closer to 35" in the waist.

My 555-02's after about 5 months of wear… at this point no washes.

@Kathrynnaomi:

No because they are quite snug, I was hoping to stretch them out a bit first?

[madmonday]
