There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

@manufc10 (and everyone else) are right in saying that it is a hobby, and hence not logical or rational.
But the thing about Iron Heart products is that they get better with age. If I am buying a new jeans without abusing the previous one, I am not doing justice to either of those pair of jeans.
Finally, I am also deep down the rabbit hole and possibly no better than you. It is just that I don't have enough money, lol~
@Sreeni I feel you, it's an expensive hobby, no doubt. And you are absolutely right that more jeans=less wear=less evolution.
Personally I know I have more jeans than I need. In my day to day I'm a slow fader as I work at a high school so I use newer jeans for work and rotate a few pairs. Every summer I do a lot of building work, carpentry and so on and I choose one pair to be work jeans. This accelerates evolution drastically! That pair either gets trashed so badly they can't be worn or becomes my favourite worn pair. Here's my work pair from two summers ago: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=434.msg462505#msg462505
This summer I'm using my 666XHS for work. I'm excited to see how trashed they can get.

@neph93 Great work with the jeans. And yes, I am hoping that my next IH jeans become airy and pajama in a way only IH jeans can.
In fact, you have encouraged me to write a diary or maintain some kind of log of the evolution of my jeans. Thanks!
The 21oz is the best for airy and soft. But maybe you have that denim already?
This forum is a great place to document how your jeans develop btw. Everyone loves looking at fit pics and fades.

It's up to the individual, How do I justify having about 100 fishing rods? It's completely unjustifiable, but fishing is my passion…How does anyone need more than 1 house, 1 bicycle or 1 car, they should not have to.....it's up to them what they do with their money....
Amen.
Or - Because i can.

I submitted a longish suggestion on nubuck belts today with the intent that it to go to the IHB-05 thread…as I finished writing it I made changes to the 'subject' field and posted it. Now I can't find it and it never showed up in the intended thread.
Is it irretrievably lost? -
@Sreeni I had some minor work done to the hems after about 2 years, but that was due to the fact that I wear them over my boots and in the winter the snow, water, and salt really take a toll on the fabric. I will likely be sending them for a more significant repair/reinforcement here soon before fall hits (full hem work, ankle area, back pocket, and knee), but I have had no crotch blow out yet.
They are my favorites at this point…

Is it irretrievably lost?I just looked at your posts history in your profile and I do not see that post. Looks like it might be lost. Sorry.

This thread was supposed to be for new members to ask what they may feel is a stupid question without feeling embarrassed…..But it's not been very successful as some of the older members are asking the most stupid questions.....

If you had to choose a pair of IH bottoms for someone with larger than average thighs and having a mobile phone in front pocket so that he could climb stairs for 15 storeys, which would it be?
Basically, which is the best IH bottoms for movement? I can't decide between logger pants, 1955s, and 888s?

Have you measure your best fitting pair of pants using the IH measuring method? I'm SURE you have pants already, and at least 1 pair that you like the way they fit… Measure those, and compare those measurements to the size charts, and pull the trigger. If they don't fit, return them and try again.

888's or 55's (depending which lower leg cut you want), true to size.
