Chilly and damp spring day here in Philadelphia. So black Iron Heart horsehide, and some JMM shades.

Hot tub soak, and wash (slow rinse) and hung to dry. Worn about 8 hours. Lofgren CXL roughout combat boots because the they’re a great match

I've been here on and off for a pretty long time, and then mostly as a casual viewer. Giles et al, you are a victim of your own success. Which, to no small degree is an enviable place to be.

The fact that you take the time to explain to the would-be haters is admirable.

Fact is, no, you can't have them right now (if out of stock). Fabric production, space at the workshop, and a multi-product line are all contributing factors. People need to get a grip and understand, you don't need any of this. It's that they want it And they're not willing to wait. However exercising a dash of patience and you will be rewarded with some of the best fabrics made into the highest quality denim, in the world.

Rambling post over. All IMO and YMMV

Meant to post this yesterday, but better a day late than never.

Eastman Leather Company House A2, ball cap, and tanker boots.

Shirt by Freenote, Iron Heart 634 21/23 jeans, Hanks Belt, Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses, and a Marathon CSAR

JMM (Hammond) out for the afternoon

After some UPS consternation, mine arrived safe and sound in Philly. Off to soak and wash

Intermittently forget this is hanging in the closet (circa 2014)...

Been here forever, kinda, lol. But Philly, PA here

Hi @atlasfields, I have replied to you via email; however, speaking to the crew here, it may be folding the leather strap under itself to create friction and reduce slip. Has anyone had this type of issue? If so, what are your fixes?

@ShopatIronHeart

James, much appreciated! Received your email. I'll take your advice and keep you posted.

@northsouthdenimguy Jean buddies, lol

@northsouthdenimguy 100% of the reason why I did the second hot soak and a hot water wash. Little baggy in the butt. But as an old man, not too uncommon with jeans these days, lol.

Bought the last XXXL. Stoked to get it

@Giles but Giles, a kid I knew, had a sister, who had a friend, that did that with her Jordache jeans...

Love me some Papa Nui hats. Think I have 5 or 6 of them at this point

Patiently waiting

First IH jeans bought direct were the IH-1955-UHR in 2014 for £249 or about $425 at the time. Only IH jeans I ever owned and much later the 634 14oz in black

Buying these is a no-brainer

My order was supposed to be delivered on Friday, but UPS dropped the ball. Revised delivery tomorrow. Fingers crossed

And not today either, apparently.

@atlasfields

If it makes you feel any better, mine were supposed to deliver this past Friday and then yesterday and again the day, I’m not holding my breath. What’s going on in Kentucky?

100% the same here. Friday>Monday>today and not local scan past KY

Bourbon at the sort center? lol

Not sure if anyone else has done this. But did a second soak in hot water today. Then a hot water machine wash gentle cycle (no spin). Feels like it got the rest of the “bulk“ out of the denim. Hung them to dry and now fits like my 14oz 634’s.
