634 is probably the closest thing. I've mentioned before that I'd still like to see a slim fit bootcut from Iron Heart similar to the classic Levis 517.

@Denimhead-0 @will6er thanks for the vote of confidence. I guess I'll continue on then. Updates to follow.

Been wearing these for about a month straight now, everyday. It's my first pair of the 666 cut. I also have 888s, 633 and have tried 634. Those are all fine, but I like the look of the 666 the best. I went in knowing these were a little too big in the waist. The thighs are about as slim as I could go. Maybe I could go a little .1 inches slimmer in the upper thighs, but that's it. I could go down in the waist .5 - .6 inches. That said they're comfortable with a belt. I have mixed opinions on how they look. What do you guys think? Keep going or get rid of them?

@JoshC an M51 or M65 is great with a removable liner because you get the option to wear it with a trucker jacket or thick CPO without the need to size up. Or you can put the liner back in if not. I like that I can do this with my M65, but it's not an Iron Heart Jacket and it's nowhere near Iron Heart quality.

Will this jacket be made again? I really like the M51 (and M65) with a removable liner. Such a great classic jacket.

@Tyler any duck chore coat would be great. Doesn't need to be the thickest most burly hard to make fabric even made. Black or dark olive green would be awesome. Thanks for listening.

Will this jacket ever be made again? I would definitely get one. I love the black duck.

@twin thanks, I guess I must now!

@Jord thanks! Yeah the Wabash is really something else. I had wanted to get the standard wabash western, but the measurements didn't work for me. I think this one is going to be a go to for it's versatility. Super comfortable too.

@Denman-John thanks! It's a pretty amazing shirt. Very comfortable too. I'm sure you'll love it!

@northsouthdenimguy thanks! I think I always second guess because I never look as cool as Sam

@yannis thanks! Yeah, I think I was comparing to my western. This is growing on me fast! Especially because I can layer over or under it. Pretty versatile.

Trying to decide if I should keep this one and if the fit is good. I think the length and torso width I'm not used to vs the standard western. What do you guys think about the fit?

@will6er I'm almost 6'3. A small cuff is all I ever do to finish them off. Hope that helps. You should wait to hem though because they will come up a bit. My opinion.

Early days. Still evaluating if I like these more than my 888 UHRs. So far I'm really digging them.

@JoshC thanks for the update!

Does anyone experienced with having the IH western shirts, cpo and type iii have recommendations on the measurement differences/fit of these? My IH western shirt has larger measurements than my type iii but fits a lot more snug than my type iii that is more than .6 smaller in the chest but has room to layer underneath with great mobility. Shoulders are comparable but my type iii feels less restrictive than the western here too. How does the CPO cut compare to these?

@SKT thanks! I think you're right. I tried them on again. They are just a touch too loose in the waist, but they're not even close to falling off or anything. I think keeping a belt on will help with fully stretching back, but not a big deal. Thighs and top block look and feel perfect. I think I'm going with it.

@SKT thanks. The waist is a little big that I'd need a belt even before I wash them. The top block and thighs fit perfect though so kind of on the fence.

Hey what do you guys think of this fit? I picked a pair of 888 UHRs up and love them. Tried these out. It feels great. I'm surprised because I thought they would be too tight, but the thighs feel perfect. I definitely would not go a smaller size. The thighs would be way too small. The waist band is kind of floating on my waist, not snug but not excessively loose either. If I were in 888s I'd pass if the waist was like that but the top block and thighs seem slim enough that it seems ok. I'm familiar with uhr so I know this is how they'll end up.
