      Hopefully not a question asked a million times before, but just wanted to see if anyone could recommend me a currently available heavy weight selvedge jean?

      I have had my eye on the 21oz IronHeart 555, or 666, but the UK exchange rates have really pushed up the price to close to £300 which I am not sure if I can justify at the moment.

      I was going to jump on the Naked and Famous Elephant 6 but for some reason I didnt… I deeply regret this as they were stunning value...

      I have pondered the Unbranded but I generally find their rise a little low and generally the lack of detailing makes for a dull jean....

      Oh.... and probably a slimmer cut like the Levi's 511!

      My raw denim experience is limited, I have had: Hiut Organic Hack, Hiut Selvedge Slimmr, Levi 511 Selvedge, and some Unbranded Black UB155.

      Any thoughts?
      Best regards,
      Chris

        Have you looked in to Oni at all?  They make some heavier weight fabrics.

          Thanks I will check them out!

          Only one supplier in the UK by the looks of it, Son of a Stag?

              The UHR Iron Heart denim is on special in the 666 cut. Not sure what your size is, but that would be my starting point.

                  Hi Chris! Dude get a pair of 777 XHS 25oz. You won't be disappointed. They completely destroy any other brand or denim. They literally are a must own experience.

                  No offense, but N&F and the rest are pretty  "meh" compared to Iron Heart 25oz. The 777 cut is the slimmest cut next to the 555 available in the 25oz denim. They fade great and will give your legs a workout breaking them in. Don't wash them for as long as possible and you're guaranteed great fades and a comfy pair of jeans that feels like rough sex on your legs. I'm not kidding and using hyperbole  They are the very best. If your size isn't available fill out the form and save your money. It is worth it!

                    didn't @DevonReviewer  say that the prices of IH denim are out of his price range right now and he's looking for an alternative?  Unless I misunderstood him.  That's the only reason I recommended the Oni's otherwise I would say grab a pair of the 21oz IH.

                      he said he couldn't justify it.

                      Heavy denim on the cheap end, I'd recommend these. http://www.sage.gs/shop/bottoms/everbeast-25oz-unsanforized-deep-indigo/

                      I always see them on Heddles and probably would get a pair if I wasn't such an Iron Heart fanboy. They are like $150 and they have some pretty decent fades and look pretty well-made.

                        I took his advice and doesn't regret at all. Love my IH 25 oz 777. Beautiful beast!!!

                        Quality , stitching and fabric is out of this world !!!

                        Lately , when I go to jeans shop in Bloomingdales , Nordstrom and other jeans shops, I immediately look at other denim fabric , stitching and inside /outside details and compare with IH, I shake my head and regret why so late to found the beauty of Iron heart

                              Thanks , one small issue . My wife is little overwhelmed with the new condition of 25oz jeans . She never seen or felt 25oz denim before . The jeans make little sound when I move on bed . I bet couple of weeks of use will eliminate the noise and bring the softness .

                                      You owe it to yourself to get a pair of Iron Heart 25 oz! Those Pronto collaborations are looking quite fab. I can't wait to get.a pair. The heavy gauge stitching looks awesome on those  (and on the inside if they are anything like the other 25ozs) and the fabric is sure to be amazing. The regular 25 oz is so heavy and soft much like the flagship 21 is, just with one more weft yarn per stitch. These are likely to be the most epic Iron Hearts there has been so far. @manufc10

                                        depending on what your size is, the aforementioned Pronto have a generous top block and get slim past the knee to a smaller leg opening. According to the measurements the fit is somewhere between the 777 and the 666. It's like a 666 with a higher rise and a smaller leg opening. As far as I can tell by the measurements posted.
