The UHR definitely harkens back to the denim of my youth. I have the 21 and the 25 ounce denims,but this one takes me back to the Levi’s shrink to fit raw denim. Can’t get any more vintage than that.

[popvulture]

Yep, they remind me of old Levis fades too. Another one that comes to mind is APC — they were probably the first pair of selvedge jeans that got me super interested in the fading. The way my UHRs are coming along remind me of those sorta smooth, old school fades in the best way.

What are these?! Found on eBay. Looks like indigo duck maybe?

@Oaktavia Here's what I'm finding and they may be an extremely rare pair:

@Graeme said in Your biggest Iron Heart regret:

Just before the Loom Breakers were released, there was a pair of work pants sampled in the indigo / indigo canvas. They never made it into production, but the sample pair fit me perfectly.

I have no idea what happened to them. They never came up in any sample sales, but in retrospect I should have talked @Giles into selling them to me.

There have been a few releases that I liked the look of, but would be too warm for Australia. The IHM-38-OLV is a current example.

As for the IH-436, I got a pair from the last run in a size 34 during the pandemic. Due to being a bit fat then, they didn't fit me, and due to my gym habit, they still don't fit me. They're a weird cut. I probably should stick them up in a sales thread.

@Matt said in Your biggest Iron Heart regret:

@Graeme you aren’t talking about the double indigo duck work pants are you? Those were in production I believe, unless you’re talking about something else or unless I’m mistaken. I know that’s what G has.

@Graeme said in Your biggest Iron Heart regret:

@Matt they were probably more like the Engineer's jeans. I remember them being double stitched in orange thread.

@Giles Care to chime in and confirm...

@Graeme This is from the sellers description:

Good Condition. These are precious work pants with orange triple stitching that are pretty cool.■Size:W32, Waist/16.5in, Inseam/34.6in, Hem Width/9.0in,”

[Oaktavia]

There is this one too which I'm scratching my head even more at.

@goosehd wow excellent detective work. If they were my size I'd buy them for sure.

Yeah my brain can't process what it's seeing.

[sabergirl]

I’ve always liked the look of the cut on those jelados. Wish IH made its own slash pocket jean.

[Matt]

That’s some crazy shit.

[Giles]

I cant remember the work pants, I think they must been a sample pair that were sold off at The Iron Heart Camp....

[Graeme]

@goosehd and @Oaktavia the pair I tried on would have been selvedge. They were probably a size 34, as that's what I fitted back then.

I'm guessing that they were a Japan-only release or maybe (as @Giles said) a sample that was sold off.

Japan-only release

there are quite a few on ebay in Japan

[CuseMM]

I’m pretty happy with my 634s - good fit in the thighs and seat. However, I would prefer a narrower cuff. Is the 888 the fit I’m looking for? Is 666 going to be too skinny? I don’t have an “urban slim” build so I need some room.

[Alex]

I would try the 888 first, yes

[n00b]

Hi everyone.

Not sure where to post this…

Anyways I am going to buy my first pair of IH. Please help me decide which one should I get for my first pair. If you can also kindly share the reasoning why you pick one over the others it will be much appreciated.

IH-634S
IH-634S-UHR
IH-634-XHS
IH-634-XHSib

Actually the one I really want is the IH-634S-A but unfortunately I'm late. Many thanks.

[jordanscollected]

@n00b do you have experience with denim as heavy as the 25oz? If not, i would stick with the 21 oz so your system isnt too shocken by the heavyweight of the xhs.

Otherwise, the rest is personal preference.

[Jett129]

@n00b I would agree that the 21OZ denim should definitely be your Iron Heart "Gateway" pair. Once their broken in, which is pretty easy, you won't believe that a pair of jeans could be that comfortable. They've been likened to sweatpants or pajamas.
