Does this only apply to jeans? I got one of my favorite UHF's snagged on a loose screw in my garage last winter and ended up with a pretty nasty gash on the elbow. I haven't worn it since as I've been debating on what to do.
I was considering a wabi sabi patch to cover it, but just inquiring here.
@Mizmazzle thanks man. Mine fits pretty well, but I wouldn't mind just a bit more shrink, so this gives me hope. The streaks annoyed me at first but they disappeared as it started to fade. Did you have a reason or timeline for when you washed, or just when it felt dirty?
I've always just washed my jeans when they seemed dirty, and I don't get as contrast as fades as a result. Part of the many reasons I only wear ironheart now is because their denim handles frequent washing well.
@Mizmazzle your jacket is awesome. Mind me asking what your washing routine was? When I got it I wanted to get the max shrink out of it, so I initially I threw mine in the wash machine on the hottest it goes , and forgot to turn tumble off, and it left a little streak on each arm from the fabric folding. The streaks have gone away as the jacket has started to fade a bit, but I still feel like I have a little shrink to get. Anyways, did you wash it a few times before wearing? And subsequently , how often did you wash? I have some spots on it I've spot cleaned.
Not sure if this is the best spot to ask but has anyone DIY'd a sandbox for the kids? If so, any types besides the standard stuff like make sure there's a cover so the feral cats don't use it as a litter box.
You boys have 2 years for the 189 you can get this in the meantime 
. I have the OD version of this and it's my favorite denim shirt.
@Oaktavia following your journey and patiently waiting for this
@MassiveThighs that's a nice fit. Looks a little short but a nice fit over a t. I have this jacket in an XXL that I've worn sparingly for about a year and washed once. It didn't shrink as much as I was expecting but I have read that it will shrink more over subsequent washes. I am still debating selling it and getting it in an XL for a fit like yours but then I run the risk of not layering.
I am an XXL in the 21oz type 3 and the 19oz LOD type 3 but this one just seems bigger.
How does everyone size their Arizona's? I'm a 10 in my Wesco Mr Lou's but realistically should be a 10.5. In viberg I take a 10. In red wing and Alden Indy the same thing. In standard American athletic shoes like Nike running shoes I take an 11. In converse and vans I wear 10.5
I am 90% leaning towards the 10-10.5 option.
@Juan-Grande said in IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo:
Logged on 3 minutes after the drop and the 38's are gone? And now it's another, what, year? Oof
Kind of disillusioned that it's a wait of upwards of 360 days because I was 180 seconds late
Multiple retailers have plenty in stock in size 38 including self edge , mild blend and rivet and hide. No need to be " disillusioned ".
@Shane-B I've been wearing ironheart for over 10 years ( only been aware of the forum for the last few though) and I always remember these things being super popular for whatever reason. I remember back in the day trying to get one from self edge and never having luck. This was before I knew about the iron heart site and forum.
Snagged this and the blue in western.
Oops I bought both the purple and blue lol
@CosmoSix5 yes I know. I'm going by ironheart measurements.
@CosmoSix5 their measurements seem pretty off compared to IH's. This run seems bigger than previous runs right?
@goosehd Yeah, thanks. Like I said, I'm not looking for a pair of water shoes, that's what I use my ugly crocs for. The Arizona's look to be versatile enough to wear to the beach, and also a dinner by the beach.
@catdad1 I noticed these too. They are intriguing. They are most definitely going to handle the weather and elements better, but that's what I use my crocs for. These are definitely better looking for going out though. I think I'd prefer leather, all things considered.
@goosehd awesome! Thanks. How does the leather hold up if they get a little wet?
Have a beach trip planned pretty soon and realized I don't really have a stylish pair of sandals or anything. Are the arizonas a good choice to wear to and around the beach? For clarity, I'm not looking for water shoes, once I get on the beach I will go most likely go barefoot. I'm interested in something I can pop on and off quick, wear to and from the beach comfortably, and be able to go into a store or restaurant after as well. Right now I only have your stereotypical athletic sandals worn in public gym showers, and a pair of Quoddy Boucher Mocs with a chromepak leather sole which are a basically my go to summer shoe when I wear shorts.
I also have a pair of crocs I wear around the house, or as water shoes when I go camping, but I prefer not to wear them in public.
If not the Arizona's, anyone have any recommendations, Birkenstock, or otherwise?
@CosmoSix5 the weather has been brutal in New York lately. Can't wait for it to cool off to rock this.
@CosmoSix5 Yes it is clear. The question is regarding pervious runs I think.
