I recently acquired some effectively new (ie unworn or washed) 25oz IH jeans. The denim feels softer and less dark than i recall. That said, my last pair of 25oz was over 10 years ago.
I suspect the difference is in my memory or perception, but curious to know if there has been any change in recipe over the last decade or so? -
@Alex
21oz Type 1 in 2027 ?

@Alex
very curious about the 555 lefty od
does the overdying have any effect on the
leg twist? -
Howdy folks. I’ll be in Japan next year and it looks like Nagoya would be the only IH retailer I could make it to, either on a Friday or a Saturday. Just wondering if I should prioritize. My priorities are inventory followed by just seeing an IH store. I can survive without it, as painful as that would be. The reason I’m not able to make it to Hachioji is a couple hours round trip carved out of precious family time in Tokyo if that helps frame what I’m after.
Think it, be it.

@Giles @Alex Howdy! I am very new to most of this and about a month ago, I fell in love with these barely worn DC4 x IH DC4001 21oz Jeans from a stranger who claims to have bought them in 2011 when it first came out. This is how I found out about selvedge and IH. I reached out to the IH email and found this forum and learned some cool facts about it. I wanted to ask if anyone remembers any cool memories from designing these jeans or any little information about them, if anyone else still had them and their experience with it. It's only my 2nd pair of selvedge and getting my hands on a pair of IH's from back when I was still in elementary school is kinda crazy to me. I'm not used to the format of forums, so excuse me if I am not using this properly! Any and all details/ information would be appreciated.

Great catch.
Thx for the link @goosehd
Some of the details in todays Iron Hearts are derived from what we put into the DC4001’s

@goosehd You guys have a really cool community. Everything is here. I appreciate it!

@Giles I will cherish this article. Thanks for making them last long enough for the next gen lol

Quick question, but I always paid attention to how the belt loops of IH jeans are sewn into the waistband. Was there a reason you guys decided not to with this pair and also what was the purpose for the off centered belt loop in the back?
Yeah what he said ^
