You r welcome @sabergirl thank you! Yeah the western pockets are great but there are a lot of other nice details like all single needle lockstitch construction, all garments free of raw edges by wrapping the seams in cotton twill, handhammered copper rivets, washer rivets reinforced with horween leather. Then also beside different denim fabrics every batch might have some different fabrics used for front pockets and back pocket lining. Mine for example have some USA natural cotton milled in Japan fabric for front pockets and linings/taped edges. Back pockets and coin pocket are lined with duck, also my pair does have a "z" stitching for reinforcing the belt loops, which i like a lot. I believe the "z" reinforced stitching is find in every pair too.

The hammered rivets really do it for me, beautiful stuff!

Looking good! Seems like the perfect shirt for this pant.

Thanks @sabergirl! They are quite comfortable & have lots of detail like the western pockets & leather washers for the rivets, all inside seams are taped so no raw seams -we'll see how they wear.

I can't deny it…. These will be my next pair of denim. I know that the detailing is phenomenal, but how is the denim? How does it feel when compared to the 18oz IronHearts? BTW, @steelworker I really like the pics with the Filson shirt.

Thank you @Anesthetist. I like Filson's wool, shirts & vests are good , other things I've picked up are no different from the dreck that is everywhere.
I haven't soaked the IH18II yet but they're two different animals. The IH is so dark it's almost black- dark , shiny tightly woven -it's not like anything I've got. I think I'm gonna have to soak and wear fast as these don't feel like summer jeans.
J/K has lavished extraordinary care on 15oz Cone that will seem unremarkable to IH people and I don't say this to put it down it's better than almost any denim in the market. Roy uses similar denim to make awesome jeans. -
I've heard some horror stories about the customer service of Jack/Knife. Really too bad as the product seemed to be pretty solid. http://www.rawrdenim.com/2015/09/jackknife-lawless-denim-closed/

I don't want to make specific comments, but what I will say is that all too many people think that this business is easy and any Tom, Dick or Harry could make a go of it.
It's not easy, it's full of risk and it's bloody hard. I'm continually amazed that we seem to make a decent fist of it….
