As I search for my next pair (and my first Iron Heart), I come and see the fades from @Oaktavia and that's about all anyone needs on whether to buy or not. Impressive!

I'm so glad you like the fade photos. Get yourself a pair and try them out. These photos are all over the course of the last 10 months with this pair.

Yes it is, it's the thickest, heaviest one they make. I wear a medium in the thick ones and a large in the thinner lopypesas.

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia thank you, colour me intrigued…

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 you are welcome. The Shop we went to in Reykjavik was awesome. There were more colors and varieties than what is shown on their website. But there are some good ones on there. Lopypesas are amazing to wear if you can stand the initial itch.

There is a very long road ahead…

Nearing 250 wears with my pair with 3 machine washes. I am happy with how they are developing. I plan to switch over to 888XHSib on Halloween.

Hey guys! Last year bought 2 jeans I don't particularly love.

Blackhorse lane NW1 16 oz was hoping either hips will give more, or I'll shrink a bit. Didn't happen.

Oni secret super rough. FOMO got the best of me so sized up in a cut that's too slim for me. Weirdly after wash they shrunk a lot and fit nicely, but now I need to wear them and see how much they stretch back.

This year I want to jump in 25oz pool. It's between iron heart and samurai.

I tried iron heart straight and relaxed tapered cuts in lightweight denims.

888 38" was a no go. 40" was still slim but wearable. Just when sitting down felt like raise slipped down too much. So I don't want to risk that in 25oz

They didn't have 38" 634. Size 40 felt a bit big everywhere but hips.. So I guess question is how much they shrink/stretch? And if hips are nice on 40, should I risk waiting for restock to try 38?

Noticing you have on 14oz jeans, please avoid the temptation to go off tag size and instead look at the measurements and talk to the IH Crew directly.
That fit in the picture looks about right though, maybe a little extra fabric in the front rise that should settle and find its way as the top block molds to your body.

25oz can shrink up to about ~3% which works out to be about an inch on the length and waist. Things you put under tension will stretch back to where they started.

@rimaarts The jeans will shrink approximately one inch in the waist upon wash and will stretch back out that inch with wear.

The way I buy the 25xhs is that they should fit well on purchase and out of the bag. How that fits is up to each person’s personal preferences.

The jeans that you are wearing in the picture look large and I believe you could easily size down one size.

[Tago Mago]

@rimaarts to add to the above: take a pair of denim that fits you and measure it the Iron Heart way:
https://www.ironhearteu.com/content/how-we-measure-bottoms

Then take those measurements and look for the cut that gives you the closest approximation. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask here. As @pechelman said, forget the tag size and go by measurements

[rimaarts]

@goosehd oh I definitely could size down.... everywhere but hips... And I have a pair with a bit too small hips and I don't want to make the same mistake! And if I size down, everything will look better but I'm not sure if hips will work...

Yes I measured. In theory, 888 should work. In reality they don't.

And after spending 1.5h in denim shop... Apparently measurements just gets you in ballpark! Unless every measurement matches... In which case might as well buy one more pair of same jeans I'm wearing now!

Eh, I guess I'll await a restock, order 38" and see about exchanging to 40 if hips feel small from the beginnin!
