Working as intended.

Quinhan,

Wanted to sport the rolled up sleeve look like you.  How in the world did you roll up your sleeves and wear them around elbows length?

When I try, it's to the point where it cuts circulation and after an a couple hours I've got deep red marks on my arms.

Rick Grimes wears a shirt like this in The Walking Dead season 3.

There's nothing like this material, so thick, tough, and still crunchy after many washes.

Was in-between S and a M.  Went with medium.  Had to wash and soak the shirt 4 times in two weeks to get to where I wanted it.  It's already forming light grey highlights all around.

Is it me or have my brown ducks become darker?  Pretty awesome either way.

Thanks a lot for the knowledge.

just purchased a pair but having some conflicting thoughts.  on the devil's duck thread someone mentioned that this material shrinks and does not give back.  should i have upped one because i wash more often than most?  i went exactly TTS.

I'm thinking about sizing up 2.  I know that sounds drastic (I'm a size 30 in the 634s) but….

I never wore devils fit so I added one size because I'm most comfortable in BB's and the 634.  Also gave an additional size up because of initial reports from Mankarat that they do not stretch but slightly shrink from each wash.

Sound reasonable?

I hear you brother.  Just cut soda and as much refined sugar as you can.  That's a start but will help a lot.

I love to eat so I add things to my diet vs taking away.

Add: flax seed (to cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, etc)
Add: Metamucil (don't argue just drink it… it's not just for constipation but for cholesterol and better pipes)
Add: Teas.  Green tea, peppermint, ginger or whatever you end up enjoying.

Simple stuff but will help all of us.

As a brand new pair,  a black patch would look great.  But once SBG's fade to grey, the natural patch prevails IMO.

@mankarat:

Dont sleep on this guys… Waiting so long to get this... The character of the ducks will show after it start to broken in, several wash set and it will show the true colour of it. Same like denim but i different way. I had the same fabric in IH801, and it gets better with hard wear.. Definitely will grab size 36 when its available

Dont expect stretch much in this... But will shrink a bit after several wash and wear...

I'm ready and waiting.  Used to be that I just needed a pair from IH in indigo, then OD, then SBG, and now I must have… 6a 6evil's 6ucks

btw no chance of seeing the triple stitching that the IH 801 and 804's have?

@rocket:

actual I think they look pretty good on you

and don't compare just wear and make them your own

Thank you for the advice, you guys are right.  Huge difference today as the rise and waist has lowered an inch or two away from my belly button thanks to "V" creases and wedges setting in.

After being married to a pair of 634s' for the past 6 years it's not easy to start a new courtship; let alone with totally different model.

Early morning I tucked in my dress shirt to start my day and the clouds parted, sun came out, and birds began to sing.  Perfect fit for my style.

Had to go TTS 30, no other choice since 29 wasn't available.  Going to have to live with Manmal Toe.

Also, can I get away with tucking a button down shirt in?  I'm self conscious of the high on my body.  I love it when I can with my 634's, but with the wrong size size Beatle's and the highish rise I wonder if I'm forced to let my shirts hang and cover my waist.

Goes to show that you can wear Beatle's but you may not look as good as her.

you know what?  my last pair of ih-634s' feel different.  the others i bought before seemed to be softer and had a smoother coating.  this new pair i bought feels more 'raw' and rigid.  dunno… i may be wrong but i've had 3 pairs in the past.

just received my IH-624S today, it's my 4th pair. (what the hell is wrong with me?!?!)

they arrived fast and the service and business treatment was personal and the best ever.  thank you so much team at IH.

these are the perfect jean.

i wish i could run my fingers across this beautiful jacket.

new headline: 'crime-rate rises as the IHAS-01 Deerskin Western Shirt is released'

To my Iron Heart Brothers:

three months of casual wear, zero washes (do not recommend unless you have tolerant GF's, friends, and family).

if that store was close to where i live i'd be DEAD BROKE…

broke but happy

Beatle, do you have this shirt?  If so, I'm dying to see how yours is evolving.
