IH-634-LB - Straight Cut Loom Breakers….
-
There’s been buzz lately about the fabric @Palmer, with discussions around the double
Indigo duck being ahead of its time.Thanks and I hope it gets made again, no leg twist here!

@jordanscollected Seems about right. You're basically the only one keeping this thread alive
Just scrolled thru this thread & gotta say this is one helluva pair. Looks fantastic in all stages.& your wife is awesome! Was this your first pair of IH bottoms?
-
They were my first pair @RoxRocks86. Though I had done a world tour with the 888’s before I actually got a pair.
I am fairly new (late 2017) to high end menswear and it took me awhile to discover Iron Heart while I navigated lesser brands. Therefore, I had 3 pairs of entry level denim that kept me from “needing” a pair from iron heart. Now, like many, I’m hooked but I still move slow in buying new stuff. My wife has big dreams that has nothing to do with clothing.

Update on the Loombreakers. 2 months short of 2 years of modest wear in rotation with the No Lots. why are both my pairs of IH denim a screw up and a broken loom screw up?
-
-
Great detail shots of your loom breakers @jordanscollected they are looking pretty sweet! Love it when it reaches this stage where the whiskers and combs start to pop.
-
@jordanscollected those look so great. Super jelly. I wish I would have gotten a pair.
-
I’m sending my LB’s off to Science + Kindness for repairs. I’ll get ‘em back in a few weeks and upload some post repair pics.

@jordanscollected looks like you’ve put those through the wringer…and they’re awesome. Interested to see the repairs when done. Safe travels LBs
-
@jordanscollected wow, those look amazing the way they have faded to such a light color. I am sure those will look even better with repairs.
Are the Loom Breakers the same duck as the 526-DD?

@Oaktavia I'm not positive Steve. I know that the LB's were made on a selvedge loom, and broke that loom. I also recall the loombreakers weighing in at 16oz and yours states 16.5 so may have a bit heavier of a fabric. The double indigo duck is and stays relatively crispy compared to denim. Don't expect "sweatpants" comfort over time. They do soften some and have a really smooth handfeel, but they also remind you they are firm and really tightly woven. They also have a tendency to not stretch, and instead rip in high wear areas. I know you'll put this jacket through the paces and get rewarded with electric blues very early on.

@SKT Safe travels indeed. S&K is just over in St. Paul so it's only going across the metro. They did a great crotch repair for me a few years ago in tonal stitching, but I plan to add the slightest pop of color to this repair.
-
@jordanscollected right on man, thanks for the info. The ripping in some of the heavily evolved photos I've seen now make more sense. So stubborn and unstretchy that it pulls apart.
-
I’ll be keenly interested to see how plain woven fabric repair (darning?) compares to twill.

I just managed to get one of the holy Iron Heart grails, maybe it’s even THE grail piece when it comes to pants or jeans
and it’s brand new , maybe the only new one still in existence…..
super excited
