Thank you guys - this has been so far a very enlightening thread to read!!!
I know I don't qualify to comment because I don't wear IH ( not my fault) as a girl I've never since the age of 11 had a pair last more than 11 months.Its the left knee that goes fast but as I live a totally sedentary lifestyle I cannot explain this.
I would have thought 21oz denim would do it for most people, but reassuring to know that I'm not the only person who can't make jeans last.

Can I join in the fun?

IMO you all look terrific!
Stop criticising each other
IH is the business and you all know which models suit you
So post pics and descriptions - I like reading this thread even though I don't own any IH

@LandoCal126:

I hand each pair of denim with a cedar hangar. One clip above the front right pocket on the waistline, and one clip above the back left pocket. I do this to avoid clipping the patch and leaving an indent. It also helps to keep the jeans natural form. Make sure that if you go this route, you get hangars with clips that are strong enough to hold the strain of 21oz denim…

Just a peak...

For the Never Worn/ Dress/ New/ Out of the rotation…

If you don't have much space as I soon won't, I would suggest just grabbing a coat hook set and put it up behind your door. Do what stever said and just hang each pair by the back middle belt loop…

Also, this leads me to revive the wayNwt thread: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=415.0

Where can you get cedar hangers, Lando???

They are absolutely gorgeous - did you get them in the UK
I need cedar hangers (currently everything individually hung on identical plastic hangers bought from Monoprix in Paris… Ready for an upgrade methinks)

I'm forced to live in an extension to my parents home for obvious reasons with my 2 Siamese cats.

My only income is my sick benefit, half of which I give to my parents for food, electricity, general household, laundry etc

My last ex boyfriend left me with a big credit card debt

But I still manage to spend the change on the nicest clothes I can afford - my passion (I was the "junior" at Valentino in Sloane Street at 20 - most fun job I ever had!

Gorgeous chestnut brown crocodile mini bag bought in Paris in 2000 which I can wear across me as it has a chain.

Platinum plated - very low prescription… Not wearing them now... with a rose cut real diamond each size and rimless.
Can't ever imagine feeling good in another pair - took me 2 years to find those!
Don't know what I'll do when eventually they break.

Not interested in fashion brands or trends - I just like these (but not without the diamonds, which are quite big!!!!)

All too big

Not jealous but happy that so many of you have such incredible collections.
I'd like to visit the Jeansmuseum in Switzerland before I die - I think that would be HEAVEN on earth!

At 19 I had to leave behind in Paris a gorgeous leather jacket because my card was declined although I sorted it out later on and recently had a similar gripe.
Now I've just cut up one of my 4 credit cards so the other 3 are nearly maxed- meaning I'll have to pay off some before my next (already planned) splurge.

At least we ARE protected, although it is annoying when genuine transactions get refused.

Everybody at school had jeans except me…Mum finally capitulated when I was 11 for the school disco!!!
As a teenager I raided the now defunct Soldier Blue in Kings Road for bleached Levi's - especially slim fit silver tab Levi's.
Then in 2000 I moved to Paris where I joined 3 movements-
The "Diesel heads" - every season the latest pair
Japanese jeans made with real indigo
Real genuine vintage Levi's- of which I had 2 pairs

Then I developed ulcerative colitis and lost so much weight I ended up age 35 wearing Diesel age 6 and finally 4 months in intensive care.

After 2 years in hospital I moved back to the UK but am unable to live alone and apart from paying for my and my 2 Siamese cats keep, spend my sick money feeding my clothing passion.its hard to track down incredible jeans and they're all too big- ive had one fantastic pair made and am designing the next pair but that won't be soon as I'd like to fill out a bit and get great fades on what I do have without going through the knees as I usually do.

Heavyweight (above 14oz) has been so far impossible to find but I wear my jeans skinny and have been warned that I might not be able to bend my knees.

Reading the Forum and surfing is a great journey and I'm sure one day I'll find my dream jeans but as I'll never work again it's hard to imagine when.I take inspiration from the great brands and from my life in Paris and just hope I live long enough to realise my ultimate work in progress and create my ultimate jeans.

Posting on this thread cos it's the least innappropriate:

Having spent the whole of 2011 chasing jeans and sending them back, I just got a very kind email to say that the very last pair I was chasing for this year was not available in my measurements (or lack of them) and I'm gutted.

So my rotation (as I've exhausted every brand this year) until 2012 when I start looking again stops at:

Timothy Everest 14oz BluexBlack Japanese jeans
Diesel Jegonfire biker style - probably end up as pjs in winter
Nudies Tight Long John in BlackBlack
3sixteen+ 14oz dark indigo - 2 identical pairs

At least all 5 fit so I can rotate and I guess not having found my "dream" jeans yet gives me a reason to carry on until 2012, when I can start looking again.

Can't even post fades pics as I have no IH
