BUMP and price drop

BUMP

@Oaktavia has it gotten any softer? asked this a while back and you said no, but wondering if anything has changed since then. mine has one wash and much less wear than yours, but is still very stiff

Selling one pair of 888 Superblack Non-Fade. Would rather send these within the EU, but open to any offer – although you'll need to help pay for shipping if it's very far. Payment through Paypal, but I am also placing these on my Vinted profile, if you'd rather do it there (can't link to it here, however). Open to offers, as well.

IH-888S-SB (size 33) – €250 + shipping €225 all in

Purchased direct from IH, chainstitch hemmed by Tenue de Nimes in Amsterdam. Too small for me. Note that measurements are directly post-wash, so expect some stretch.

Waist – 32.7 in
Thigh – 12.5 in
Inseam – 32 in

does anyone know how similar in cut these are to wrangler 13mwz?

Anyone have insight into how these much relax/stretch with wear? I have one and it feels but doesn’t look tight, and the measurements are on point too. Wondering if it’s just the heft and initial stiffness of the fabric

@Graham thanks for this i'm almost certainly safe in the length, but i don't want a ton off the shoulders/chest. my washer jumps from 40 to 60 C, no 50 unfortunately

i'm looking to incrementally shrink this shirt. i first washed on 40C at 600rpm, and got a bit but not enough in the length. should my next step be 40C at a higher rpm? or is 60C at 600rpm a better choice?

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot what did you use to remove the pocket tag?

@Tago-Mago ah got it, was reading it incorrectly indeed, thanks

@Tago-Mago assuming was is a typo for wasn’t in that comment? Otherwise the wording has me confused — or am I just reading it incorrectly

@Neru-6 lol i am with you, strange, weirdly hostile responses all around imo. not everyone is a huge part of this forum, or the IH brand in general. makes sense to me that not everone is clued in to how the processes work

@Alex thanks – are there going to be very few of these available? the only reason i want to order from IH is the snap upgrade, but if its between that and not getting one, maybe better to order from Brund

should we follow this post to stay informed of the iron heart website release?

Are these planned to restock anytime soon?

Is there any estimate of when this one will release?

@tody @motojobobo the product page says the 888s (and all other superblack non-fades, i believe) are good for an inch. you aren't even getting that?

Does anyone have experience with getting more than 1 inch (let's say 1.5 inches) of stretch out of 21oz superblack non-fade in the waist? I feel that's fairly easily done on regular/OD pairs, but can't find much definitive about superblack non-fade. Not necessarily looking for methods of getting it there, more wondering if it's in the realm of possibility
