@Denimhead-0 nice relaxed fit. Did you pick a favorite already, 888-xhs vs 888-xhsib?

@moskiitto I’m an IB guy, but wish the 888 IB’s had contrast stitching 🧵

@Denimhead-0 I see, in this post and after it there is some discussion about it

Personally never thought much of the arcs in general, but with this discussion realized tonal arcs are awesome. Not trying to convince you just my thoughts.

I'm an arc guy. I love that IH found a way to have one on their jeans that doesn't draw the ire of Levi's. I know other Japanese denim makers don't sell pairs with arcs in the US, and that bums me out.

365 days straight!

I wore a pair of Iron Heart 888 XHS 25oz for IIY5.
I managed to get 335 wear days on them.
I lost 24 days of wear when KLM Airlines lost my luggage with my jeans inside at Amsterdam Airport.
I had a European holiday, they had their own holiday at the Airport.
At least they were finally found and I got my luggage back.
Could’ve been 359 wears.
I cold soaked them before day 1 of wear and didn’t wash them until day 333 of wear (almost the full 12 months).
Aired out everyday, occasional fabric spray, low odour before wash.
Noticeable indigo loss after wash (but not a huge amount).
Crotch blow out concerns was the main inspiration for the wash, although no signs of crotch blow out yet.
Post wash fabric was back to its stiff, cardboard feeling from early days of breaking them in, that I’d started to forget, but they quickly softened.
I noticed how this denim faded slower than other denim in the competition, they held onto the indigo.
In hindsight if I’d washed them a few more times, I’m sure the fades would more significant, but I have long term relationship plans for this pair, not just a 12 month fling…

I saw that there was no planned restock date on these. Any ideas on when you are planning on taking orders/inputting the next order for a restock?

@Ral1121 Most cuts should be restocked first half of the year of 2027, 634 will be later in that year, but I dont have a month ETA at the moment im afraid.
