@Giles They responded and offer a refund.
Thank you for your help.

@tody I agree.
Somebody decided to change the thread in the worse possible place.

Still waiting for AngrySouls to respond.
Can I cc you guys if he remains silent?

@Matt said in IH-666S-19L 19oz Left Hand Twill - Quality Issues:

That butt looks like a Jordache ad from 1980.

Not sure who that is.
We didn't have TV ads in comunist Romania.

Now I'm really confused.

Iron Heart is supposed to be some of the toughest denim out there, with biker heritage.

A lot of people start with tight fits to get cool fades and participate in contests. They describe the effort in breaking them in and the reward after they mold to your body.

Are all these fade enthusiasts wearing them wrong?

What is the purpose of the heavy Poly/Cotton Core-Spun stitching then?

I wore tighter fits on basic denim without any issues.

My guess is that this was just a simple manufacturing slip... not a poor thread to match the tough 19oz LHT.

@Matt The waist was comfortable; I could sit and do squats. Sizing up probably meant more room in the tights, but I personally don't see the point of fitted jeans if you wear them loose.

Anyway... I don't want to turn this into a fit check post; everyone has different opinions... and body types.

I liked how they felt and looked... the stitching was supposed to support the tension, if any, more than 5 wears.

This is how they used to fit at the first wear.
They were tight but nothing too crazy... and got better after 2-3 more wears.

@Giles thank you for your reply.
I will wait for them to answer...I'm sure we will sort it out. I'll follow up next week.

Good thing I have other pairs just waiting for the opportunity to get out more (888S-21OD and 634S-BOD).
I tried every cut (except the 1955S) until I found the ones that fit my body type and style. Got both N1 versions, a sherpa lined Type III, a few UHFs... you might say I am a big fan of your work.
Cheers!

Hi all,

A month ago, I bought the last pair of IH-666S-19L in size 34 that was available in Europe at the time from a Spanish retailer.

Yesterday, when comparing them with a new pair of 634S, I noticed something was wrong with the sewing between the legs (the crotch area). I've only worn them 4-5 times - not nearly enough to explain this problem. See attached photos.

I'm a little bummed out since I had this image in mind that Iron Heart denim is virtually indestructible.

Did anything like this ever happen to you guys?
How do you handle these kinds of situations?

I wrote to the retailer to communicate the problem and am still waiting for their response.
Does the lifetime warranty cover this? To be honest, I'm not sure a repair is acceptable after such a small amount of wear.

Looking forward to your responses.

Thank you,
Radu
