      @indigostiff nice pick up! Curious as to why you are changing the soles to rubber?

    • RE: IH-822-IND - Double Knee 21oz Selvedge Denim Engineer's Pants - Indigo

      @HalfPastNever I would definitely consider what @neph93 advised above. That said, Railcar Fine Goods and Williamsburg Garment Company provides the service you are seeking. I can only speak for RFG as I have never used WGCs services. RFG has done very nice work with hemming and tapering of regular jeans in the past for me.

    • RE: Nick’s Boots of Spokane, Washington

      Very nice! Especially like the patina on the toes.

    • RE: IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

      PS...don't go by tag size. They are dramatically different. For example, I generally wear 35 or 36 in IH-888 and 33 in Wranglers 13mwz.

    • RE: IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

      @akohut I have both and they fit very similar. As Graham said, the measurements are key to finding a pair of 888's that fit you like the Wrangler 13mwz. Across all the IH cuts, the 888 are the closest.

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

      @Nocturama the IHSH-209 is solid grey 9oz flannel with a faint herringbone weave/pattern to it. I wore mine yesterday.

    • RE: IHV-50-IND - 14oz Sashiko Dobby Cloth / Duck Work Vest - Indigo

      I am one of those niche vest guys. One of the first non-jeans IH pieces I picked up over a decade ago was the IHV-02. At the time, it was sold out and I had to wait for what seemed like a year for a restock. It eventually restocked (after pinging Giles multiple times about when) and I picked it up. Still have it and wear it with regularity to this day. This new IHV-50 may be vying for the top spot in my vest rotation. That is assuming I am able to nab one on release day.

      I have a few vests already and haven't purchased one in a while. This one is a must have.

    • RE: Show us your boots

      I’ve had a few pairs of White’s over the years. These are my favorite and getting a lot of wear in my rotation lately.

    • RE: Show us your boots

      @JunkPants the boots are Heritage Boot Co. out of Austin, TX. Their boots are fully handmade, bespoke-styled boots in small runs - lemonwood pegs, hand-carved heel counters and toe boxes, etc. Heritage Boot Co. works with boot makers in Leone, Mexico to produce their boots. They are not inexpensive and some criticize the price point for this fact and claim they are overpriced. From what I can tell, the quality of construction and materials live up to a higher price point. I want to believe that the revenues make their way to the artisans creating these boots in a meaningful way, but I simply don't know if they do. I also don't live under a rock and acknowledge that outsourcing this way may be a means for this company to increase margins.

    • RE: IH-666N - 17oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Natural Indigo

      These aren't my jeans. They are my son's. I am admittedly terrible at fading denim - too many pairs in the rotation and I am too easy on them. He, on the other hand, is pretty good at it. For those of you wondering what the 17oz natural indigo denim is capable of, these are a pretty good indicator.

    • RE: Where do we report issues with the new forum?

      Hmmm...I haven't looked at that thread recently. The only reason I looked today was because there was a notification of an upvote. That was odd to me because I haven't posted in the thread in a while. I will change my password just in case.
      A "butt dial" is possible I suppose, but I rarely use the forum from my phone and it would take some steps to get to the app since I have it buried in a folder.
