Requested the following samples today:
IH-526S-14 - Modified Type III in 14oz selvedge
IH-777S-ABC - The ABC is a Pseudonym for a retailer. 777 cut in 21oz SBG with all tonal stitching (inc arcs and "W") and charcoal herringbone pocket bags…..I've changed the title of this thread as my posts don't always come with pics.....
Any update on the 777 sbg?
A simpler question: Is anyone else out there an actual 36 waist, and if so, what size did you buy?
Looking for some sizing advice on these. Not sure if I'd be a 33 or 34. How much would the waist stretch on a pair of these? I have a pair of 666s's that stretched more than I expected and they're a little loose (I can pull them off while still buttoned). If a tag 34 measures 34.5, will it stop at 36" or keep going?
Is there a restock of the 555's planned any time soon? (particularly 555-03 Size 33 or 34)
I've got the 156 in charcoal and love it. But more blacker please.
@Giles , ever thought about doing tall sizes?
I have a few ideas:
Has Iron Heart ever done a nep flannel? A run of shirts in solid colors (like black, navy, red, cream) with different colored nep flecked throughout the fabric would be great. The visual texture pairs great with denim.
How about a black flannel? I'm from New England, so flannel is my birthright, but I don't always want to look like a lumberjack.
Also, all black SBG 666's and 777's done like the 555-03. That would be awesome.
@spitfiredealer I like your method too. Perhaps the overlay is overkill. Having consistency in the pictures and knowing the measurements would be the most helpful thing for me.
Images taken from the Japanese IH website. I changed it so the 634s are transparent and outlined in red for reference. The 666's are in front, with the background from the original photos deleted. In the previous images, the 634's were a transparent overlay, which made the whole image a little blurry.
I like seeing the jeans flat as well as modeled. They look so different when draped on the human frame.
Rough, but you get the idea…

Tableman's ideas is great. Having the visual information aligned consistently makes it easier to compare the varied cuts and silhouettes.
I'd like to see one model wearing all the jeans, with that model's waist/inseam/thigh measurements listed, as well as the size of the jean being modeled.
You could go a step further: a model with, a 34 waist could try on a 33, 34, and 35 to give an idea of sizing down, TTS or sizing up.
Anyone can find out what their own waist measurement is. Knowing what the model measures, and what size they are wearing would give a great reference and save lots of time when deciding on a cut/color/size.
I dropped a few of the pics into photoshop and aligned them uniformly. Some stuff was cut off as a result.
Also I overlaid the 634's over the 555's

Hi, I'm Jebb. Husband of 1, father of 2, and I tattoo in Cambridge Massachusetts. I used to play music, but don't do so much of that anymore. I like nice things.
I'd love an Iron Heart waxed canvas jacket with lining. I have a Filson Short lined trucker, but its made for a stout man with short arms. Can't find anyone to do an alteration. Being 6'7" with a slim build, it's nice that IH makes shirts that actually fit me. A well made waxed trucker/type III with side and chest pockets, corduroy or moleskine collar, a flannel or satin lining, and sleeves that are long enough to reach your hands, would be amazing. I've searched through many brands and there's always something lacking in the what they offer. I did a search and didn't see any previous requests for this.
Thank you.
