Hi All,
I am very interested in getting a pair of IH denim but a bit unsure about the sizing. I was hoping someone can offer some advice.
At the moment I am wearing a pair of Nudie Sharp bengts and the measurements after a year of wear and two washes are as follows:
Waist: 17
Front rise: 10.5
Back rise: 15.5
Thigh: 12.5
knee: 9
Hem: 7.5I really like the jeans except for the rise (bit low when I sit down) and the hem is a bit on the narrow side since they were first washed.
Finding denim with a higher rise is surprisingly difficult! Denim I have been able to get my hands on (APC, Flathead, Rogue Territory, Railcar, Nudie) has all proved to be too low for me when I sit down.
The Ironheart measurements look promising.
Do you think a 34 in IH-666L would fit me post soak? I'm concerned about any shrinkage!

The 1955s might be another option for you (size 33 probably, as it stretches). The rise is significantly longer and the hem a bit wider than your nudies. The 666 could be a problem in the thighs (somehow I find them pretty narrow on all releases of the last weeks?).
-
If you go for a high backrise on a IH jean, the frontrise also will be much higher compared to your Nudies. The Carhartt I wore before my first IH´s, had the same rise measurements as your Nudie. I could go with a lower backrise but I never get used to a frontrise higher than 10,5. When I got the WT-Busters, I wore them low in the front, but with the high rises they looked like baggy jeans on the back.

What have you been doing to them?? -
just worn everyday the last four months.

Post soak… did not shrink much - just a bit in the waist but should stretch back to original 38". Very crispy and stiff, but love the fabric so far - we'll see how it breaks in. The rise is higher than the 666S which is a good thing for me, I like it. And oboy are these suckers long! The pair I got was almost 40" - even with the shrinkage I can double cuff these - a first! I'm impressed. I now have IH jeans in 14.5, 18, 21 and 23oz.
