  • RE: IH-1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

    @RWalleyTX - I have 1955 and 888. 1955 are about an inch higher on the rise and are definitely roomier/straight in the leg. I’m no denim historian but to my mind the 1955 definitely has a retro 50’s vibe.

    I find the 1955 super comfortable and wear them for everyday wear. I get the 888’s out when I want a slightly smarter look.

    Hope that helps - Bill

    Given how s**t most umbrellas are (even the ones that claim to be the ‘strongest’)…

    IH Umbrella ☂️ ?

    A mixture of cordura/primaloft/brass/other lovely stuff that helps it do its job.
    Complete with duck sleeve??

    “Only Good Umbrellas Endure Time”

    I know…. I know….
    I’m in a waiting room.

    At the risk of disloyalty to IH, may I suggest https://www.foxumbrellas.com/ - these things are strong and they offer repairs.

    Pleased to report that my new 888’s from IHUK were just delivered by cargo bike - DPD seem to have a “last mile” partnership with our local pedal powered delivery company.

    @Sage954 said in Luggage Bags and Packs:

    Our oldest son has used the GR-1 as book bag and abused it for years. Still looks new. Just ordered one for myself. Couldn’t resist the sale.
    https://www.goruck.com/products/gr1-usa-tropic-multicam

    I ordered the smaller 21L GR-1 some years ago following a recommendation here. It was insanely expensive to import into the UK but has proved to be worth every penny. I use it pretty much every day and always aim to take it as my only piece of luggage when travelling - “less but better” (Dieter Rams).

  • RE: IH-1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

    I’ll second @sabergirl’s post above. I have 1955S and 888S-14ii - 1955 is about an inch higher on the waist and there is definitely more room in the knee - it’s a more “old skool” cut, a bit baggier and more relaxed, 888 has a slightly smarter, more fitted look - ymmv …

    An “IHV” work vest in any plain fabric - eg duck, corduroy, moleskin - perfect with checked shirts 😊

    Measurements have been updated on initial measurement post @atm23

    Hi @adamC - does this mean that the measurements given at https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/1955s.html are current for the jeans that go on sale on Thursday?

    Many thanks - Bill

  • RE: IH-1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Vintage Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

    @Brandrea said in 1955S - 21oz Selvedge Denim "1955" Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo:

    Man I’m tempted by these but … I’m sort of tall and thin (6’2”-175) and I think the rise on these might be a little too high. I started with 666 in IH and love that fit (this coming from cheaper Diesel type jeans with a low rise).

    I finally decided at my age (56) I’d try a more relaxed fit, so I bought a pair of 21oz 634’s. A year later, I’ve got 4 more pairs in a variety of demin lol.

    Just not sure I’m ready to try these yet. Anyone with a relatively thin tall frame have any advice on how they wear?

    Hi @Brandrea - I’m 6’ 1” and 180 lbs. My inside leg is relatively short for my height at 33”, so I find the high rise kind of makes my legs look more in proportion! I also have the 888’s, and the 1955’s are definitely a baggier, more relaxed, retro fit with plenty of room around the knees. The rise is high - I’m wearing 1955 now and the waistband comes right up to my belly button. The high rise also avoids a gap on the back when I sit down which works for me. Just my opinion, but I’d say the rise is the defining feature which may or may not be to your preference.

    Hope that’s helpful - Bill

    @Graham said in IHT-2404-NAV - 7.5oz Printed Loopwheel Crew Neck T-Shirt - Navy:

    @Bill-C

    I am afraid that the 24 in 2404 means that this was the design(s) for the printed tees for 2024. New designs will be released on these amazing 7.5-oz t-shirts in 2025.

    Ah, ok - thanks @Graham - I’ll bear that in mind vs the 25 T’s …

  • RE: Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?

    As my better half says, “you already told me that”, but more 6oz flannel workshirts would indeed be great news - my IHSH-201 is probably the most versatile of my far too many IH shirts…

    Can damaged chain stitch runoffs simply be cut off, or is it better for the integrity of the shirt stitching to knot them before cutting?
