After 4 months of wear, 1 wash. Have been wearing this most weekdays for work. Amazing colours are coming through!

Every time im on the IH forum. I didn't even plan on the UHR at all

Shame im saving money for ss26...must resist

I came here to say this denim feels awesome! Love it!

Do....people have back ups of the same pair? Or is that kinda crazy given how long some of the jeans normally last due to rotation? Like i got the recent 888UHR but was wondering whether i should get the same pair again just in case? Or do i just have a undiagnosed mental illness?

Initially i thought this was a bit more boxy than the 293 as its pretty thick, but now im wearing it in its starting to drape very nicely and settling down. So good!!

Cough cough. I need more iron heart content please

I would say this denim stretches a bit and fast. When i first got it new i recall it measuring 15.5 inches (white tape) or there abouts for a 34 tag. But today its gone past that (yellow tape pic). And I have only worn it out really a few times if that. I honestly reckon maybe less than 5 times on.

@Denimhead-0 awesome thanks man! This really helps me make an informed decision

Im waiting for these both too. But yeah given you have the 888sbg, maybe the indigo is the missing one?

@SamD awesome thanks heaps for the insights! Thanks for taking the time to explain I have found with IH shoulders to be for me the key factor so this helps

Hey @ChrisC, i havent tried on this jacket before but a few people suggested to size down. I saw you normally have a 20inch shoulder in crew specs but you didnt have any issues with an XL at 18.9? Just thinking i might need to find my nearest store and try on first before pulling the trigger...

@Graeme did you end up getting one? This thing is amazing!

@goosehd yeah for sure! But i cant work out what it is thats changed, the cut just looks awesome. Its still new to me so whether its the 21oz denim or the slight tweaks, everything looks great to me. Super happy.

Mine arrived today. With the latest batch i think the thighs are slightly slimmer but it looks amazing. I probably just thought these were going to be the same as my other 888s but now just in 21oz, but honestly these have somehow exceeded my expectations completely. They are so so good and just perfect. Bravo!

@Dazzler1971 dont worry about the tag at all.

Measure the 888-OD the iron heart way first, then look at the chart to see where your measurements stack up.

I got the OD in tag 33, but with these im looking like tag 32, so tags doesnt matter. Just know what your actual measurements are to judge what to choose. If you fall in between, id suggest you contact iron heart for advice....some tags might have stock that come higher or lower in measurement that can come close to what you want and they will help/guide you

@geordieb74 i have an xxl overdye from the first batch so this may not be helpful as what is on their website is the 2nd run. And i didnt take down the original specs they provided.

Shoulders straight across is 20
Chest is 22 p2p

Is there a particular spec you care more about?

I must say i have left notes with them in the past for other orders and they are ok at helping out...

@Rustygate37 i did buy the large in red/rust but denimio had the size chart wrong so i had to return mine. Now im saving for iron heart flannels haha. It looks amazing though

The other one i missed out on is the full count flannels. They got snapped up too quickly. The blue/brown one and the ecru/yellow one....they looked nice....

@Rustygate37 ah you got the big john flannel too! They look amazing

@Ral1121 looks awesome!

And totally regrets not getting that Samurai!
