      Hopefully your washing with a good detergent, sometimes a stench has been known to remain in fibers after washing.

        @ROman none of my IH gear holds much odor and does air out very well but will say my RGT ISC shirt gets stinky no time, like a super power

          @flannel-slut since I don't live in a very warm climate I can stretch out the periods of "no wash" by hanging my denim outside in the cooler nights. Also my workplace has aircon. But I have never worn a pair of jeans longer than 100 days without a gentle wash. Even if they don't smell, they still get dirty or stained at some point

            I happened upon an interview of Daniel Day Lewis and it almost looked like he had a Iron Heart shirt on. Can anyone confirm?
            Looks like it had the western yokes in front but not in back

              I doubt that. Small label looks out of place.

                  Hi all,

                  i´ve got a more genereal question.
                  How important is the shouldermeasurement if the chest size is correct ?
                  If read somewhere that you only have to take look at the shoulder measurement if the sleeves are very long or short in relation to your own measurements.

                    In my opinion it’s the most important measurement. It’s easy to see when the shoulders are too big and it’s nearly impossible to fix when tailoring. Shoulders are the first dimension I look at when checking sizes.

                    @goosehd please move this topic to the appropriate area in the forum.

                      Shoulder measurements are important. I do have very broad shoulders.

                        Questions to the guys who like to expand the wear before washing as much as possible: what do you do when you have been sick? It's recommended to not wear clothes or use towels/ sheets again after sicknes, what do you do?

                          @FlavourFade I’ve been curious about the same thing before and looked it up. Probably worth verifying, but something like Covid doesn’t last long on surfaces, iirc a day tops, and things like the flu for only like 3-4 days max. I’d probably wash my jeans because they stink a lot sooner than I’d wash em for fear of spreading a contagion, but who knows. Unless, of course, the stink is the contagion 😅

                            @popvulture haha ! Funny you thought about that too. Yeah when there is smell I can't get rid off with a good old hanging outside over night a wash is needed. But good to hear that I don't have to be afraid of an unlimited sickness loop 😂

                              I'm looking for my first pair of Iron Hearts, 634S in indigo or indigo/black, and see them new on ebay. Any tips or tricks on how to avoid counterfeit/fake Iron Hearts on eBay?

                                There is almost zero possibility of a fake 21oz plus pair of Iron Hearts looking anything like a real pair of Iron Hearts....

                                Look at detailed images of the suspect pair and compare with detailed images on the IHUK website.

                                    I feel like I’m always asking dumb/obvious questions, so apologies in advance.

                                    Have some cash burning a hole in my pocket, and want to pick up a fresh pair of indigo jeans. I’m interested in the 14oz and the 18oz vintage. My current pair are the 19oz lefties, so was looking initially at the 14oz to add a bit of weight variety. However I’ve read that the 18oz vintage does very well in warmer weather.

                                    I appreciate that descriptive language has limitations, but what are the differences in hand feel/wearability between the two denims? I get the feeling that the 14oz weave is more uniform and has a smoother and rigid surface, while the 18oz is a bit hairier with a coarser/crispy texture. Which, if any, is the most “different” from the 19oz lefty?

                                      Normally for “this or that” I look at the fades, and the 18oz looks consistently lovely but @TENDREL ’s pair of 14oz has me in two minds

                                        @jerkules your expactations are on point. Thats exactly how they compare. Still I would say even with being less breathable the lighter weigh of the 14 oz can feel more pleasant on the skin. But I have only experience with shirts in these denims.
