        Is any starch applied to the duck fabric like it is with denim?

          A sizing agent (usually starch) is used during the weaving process. It is not applied to add rigidity, it is applied to act as a lubricant to reduce friction, and therefore the risk of the yarns breaking and having to stop the loom whilst weaving.

            I’ve just knocked the top button off of my Toys McCoy trucker cap and can’t find the thing... does anyone know where to buy a decent quality replacement? After ten mins on google all that’s coming is really poor quality stuff on Etsy or Amazon. The part that was left in the hat looks like the male part of a snap and looks way better quality than the stuff I’m managing to find 😩

            Any advice would be appreciated!

                @Heavy_blue I’ve already looked 😂 IH UK have the USA one in stock but it would mean cutting a little bit of the hat away to fit the male part of the snap through unfortunately.. 😩

                  888 Fit Guidance

                  Hi, I’ve tried multiple different cuts of iron heart jeans. I finally got some 888 14oz in waist 32. To start with I thought they’d be way too tight but I persevered and they have now stretched out to more or less my ideal fit. Perhaps a tiny but tight in the thigh still but basically a really good fit as the waist has stretched out a bit with wear. I had dabbled with 666 in w34 which fit well everywhere except the waist which began to really annoy me as the excess material would bunch up. W32 in 666 the thigh was ludicrously tight for me so not possible , but fit well on the waist .

                  So my question is this. If 888 14oz fits me well in 32 after wearing them in, can I expect something similar with the heavier weight 888s? I am keen to get some 21oz but want to know if w32 will also be the right fit for me in the heavyweight as I wonder if there’s a bit less give/stretch?

                  Many thanks
                  Josh

                    @wildeep I’ve moved your question to here.

                    My best advice is to drop the guys at IHUK an email: shop@ironheart.co.uk and they will be more than happy to give you a hand figuring out what works the best for you.

                      Last fall I bought a pair of 777's size 38. They fit snug as they should, however after a few wears around the house my wife and I had the same opinion. The rise on them was sawing me in half visually. For the record I'm 6'5" 195cm and 230lbs/104kg
                      I'm all about showing off my boots so a small hem is important. Considering 555 and 666 as slim fit is my favorite. I'm currently wearing a pair of PBJ 019 that fit and look good but not slim enough. I'm afraid the 888 would be very close to the 019(relaxed taper). I've got several IH shirts that are great and a type 3 jacket. Time for some jeans I can keep... 😀 I didn't lose a ton selling the first pair but it was still a bummer. I have to have them hemmed(34) because nobody near me can do it right. This the no return issue.

                              If you like the fit of the 777 aside from the rise, then the 555 is the logical next step, similar-ish fit through the legs, but much higher rise.

                                  So my question is this. If 888 14oz fits me well in 32 after wearing them in, can I expect something similar with the heavier weight 888s? I am keen to get some 21oz but want to know if w32 will also be the right fit for me in the heavyweight as I wonder if there’s a bit less give/stretch?

                                  Generally speaking, yes. They are cut to the same pattern. There will be some variance model to model, which is why we publish a specific chart for every model of jeans/shirt etc etc. Did you buy the IH-888S-142 from us directly? If so, we should have a note of the actual waist size of them when new and can work out sizing on other models from that. If not, you'd need to measure your pair now, and we can work out how to go backwards from there..
