      Always a possibility.  Trouble is at the moment we have maxed out the mills with what we already make. So I don't think it will be anytime soon…

        @pechelman:

        Thanks for the recommendations all.

        I'll take another hard look at the 1955s, 634s….

        Pinging the collective here again, with this extra data point, how would a IH-666S-21 compare in the top block to these 634's? The 666-W36 in these appears to have most of the measurements I'd want after breaking-in other than starting with a waist that's slightly too big, but I always always wear a belt anyway. Maybe this isnt a big deal? Am I wasting (no pun intended) my time here?

        A well worn pair may get three inches of stretch, but it is more likely that there has been two to two and a half on a pair that came up half an inch over spec, or that the batch was a little bigger than the current the website batch. Or it could be a combination of the above. This is not an exact science and the site measurements are based on batch aggregates as there is variation within batches.

        The 666 seems to be what you’re after in the leg. The top block is trimmer than the 634 over the hips however, and the rise slightly lower.

          Can we change the settings on the IH website so it doesn’t shut off my music/podcast every time I hop on?

              If you had to put a price on these shelves what would it be? They’re roughly 20-25feet long, 10 feet tall and 4-5 feet deep. One of the three has drawers.

                The right buyer would probably pay really good money for those, but it’ll be hard to find someone with a use for them. We had some amazing tall steel shelves when cleaning out my dad’s office that ended up basically being given away because they were so huge and heavy.

                Sorry that’s not more helpful. Maybe ask for offers and see what comes?

                  Those are brilliant - I'd build a shed around them 🙂

                    Has anyone found something similar to the old 7.5oz Shitamachi IH tees? They were among the best in the business and I’d like some more soft, heavy, textured tees that don’t pill.

                    Think it, be it.

                      Here is a question to all of you beer drinkers and overeaters (beer belly folks):

                      Do you have any jackets that fit perfectly all over except the gut? Is not being able to button up a denim jacket comfortably just something us Grinch-belly people deal with?

                      There is just one jacket in my collection that I love except for this reason, and honestly think sizing up would take away the fitted/tailored look. Some jackets we just don't wear buttoned/zippered? I'm fine with taking it for what it is, but I'm just curios if anyone else is like me in this respect. Might make me feel a little better, because I'm not going to the gym  😃

                        Not exactly the same issue, but pretty much all my clothing reminds me that bodies are unique and different. This is a feature, not a bug, because especially with this kind of clothing it means that the wear patterns are all unique and every piece looks just a little bit different. All that seems cool. Let that belly be a badge of the pleasure you find in life, and make that jacket adjust to it.

                          You know that was eloquently put and exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks man!

                            Amen to that, @Nkwkfld. I've always had some thigh shame/wished they were smaller but this is just how it is. Enjoy your life, @Oaktavia  😎

                              Ha, I'm right there with you!  My massive thighs are the reason I stumbled onto Iron Heart in the first place.  Nothing else fit besides the 634.

                              Rock those thunder-thighs with your head held high, brother! 😃

                                    I wore my new Converse Pro Leathers yesterday and noticed a crack in the leather when I took them off last night.  Not sure if it happened yesterday or if they came that way.  Does anyone have any experience with sneaker leather repair?  Should I bother?  I don’t want it to grow.

                                        It’s surface level. Not very deep.  Do you think I should just leave it?

                                          Is it right at the flex point of the shoe? I doubt it would get much bigger, but it may get softer and more noticeable. I'd reach out and see if they would be willing to replace. Shoe companies customer service reps are typically very receptive especially when you approach them nicely.

                                            Something like that would send my OCD Elevator right to the top floor. So while it’s probably nothing,and if it happened after 6 months you wouldn’t think twice about it,I would try and get them replaced at this point.
