First pair of iron hearts. Am i right to think these jeans are supposed to fit pretty low on your hip. I got the 34 and had them hemmed to 31. Im actually a 33 waist I believe but these are supposed to shrink an inch after a hot soak right. On the website it said these jeans would be a 33 waist but I think there a 34 mind you i havent got a tape handy though. I do like them anyway thanks for this great site im pretty new to selvedge!

@goosehd ok wanted to tell you that i soaked the 777's in a reasonably hot tank of water for exactly 1 hour and they basically transformed to basically the best fitting pair of jeans that i can remember as of late. They shrank in all the right places interestingly not much in the waist but there great!

I just ordered my 1st iron heart shrit the 18oz vintage indigo in medium. It was the last one where i bought it from ! I also orded a 21oz type 3 in medium as well. Black friday sales got me. I figured this is the best 1st iron heart shrit i could do and ive seen awsome fades with this shrit on the internet so i went for it ! Im just hoping medium was the right call because im between medium and large.

Well i cant believe how soft and pliable these are straight out of the box. I can only compare them to the 25oz indigo 777 and i got those yesterday and these today lol. These are 34 tag just like my 777 but they fit much better although i havent soaked my 25oz yet. The funny part are these jeans according to the website i bought them from were supposed to be a true 34 and according to the website i bought the 777 were supposed to be a 33. But i think these are closer to a 33 i didnt want to go down in size because in each case the jeans supposedly went down to a 32 if i were have gotten the 33 tag not sure bout how they come to those numbers because i believe they must vary from pair to pair i kinda wish i went with the 33 tag on the 25oz 777 but with the soak i hope to shrink them a toch and thats all i need. These 666 fit perfectly there broken-in already minus the fades i hope to achieve ya 66621ozsbg are awesome

@meatmarketdenim1 ya im going to wear it like a uniform. As long as it fits keeping my fingers crossed on that aspect. Do you wear yours often as a jacket or a shrit im hoping both fit so i can wear both together. Hows yours fit ?

@indigo_nico nice its cool your loving the sbgs
I found this forum after i had ordered my couple pairs of jeans maybe i wouldve done my measurements correctly the "iron heart" way but you live and learn. My pair off 777 still look great they just dont look like the best pair of jeans that i ever owned but the 666s do lol. Whats your strategy when it comes time to wash the sbgs ? Are you the kinda guy who will wait 6 months or will you wash when needed how will you do it?

@doubletee looks like you nailed that shrit perfectly

Cool i appreciate it

Hi im kinda new here and i have the opportunity to grab a pair of these for a good little discount today it doesn't seem like many people have these does anyone know if these are a good choice?

@Mizmazzle those jeans look so good the fades are sharp & super high contrast

@Asger-Ebdrup wow those look great there fading well. Can i ask you how those overdyed indigo start out. For instance are they anything like the superblack sbg's being super soft and pliable or are they stiffer like the 777 25oz raw jeans unwashed i want to purchase those depending on how they start off. Yours look like they have a lot of life in them even after all those wears.
