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

[goosehd]

@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,”

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

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

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

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.

21 oz

@n00b The 21oz may be more practical (and perhaps a bit easier to get the sizing right), but the XHS/XHSib is more fun in my opinion.
