I had to grab one of these.... this forum thread MADE ME

@dirtyframer lucky! i got my eye out for one as well

@Jord

Exactly what I did, and told them that why spend $80 on duties when I can just buy more iron heart!

EEK! thanks for the heads up. I might have them hold in store then.

@indigo_nico said in IH-666S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans:

@Noahf not sure where you are located but Mildblend in Chicago has em!

I ended up ordering from IH Germany. I am in California but I believe IH does Duties paid so I end up not having to pay sales taxes. And they do 3 day shipping for free!

Thank you Adam, reaching out to Hamburg as ill be there in a few weeks anyways

stupid work calls happened and now 36's are sold out sad to miss these

Well with a warm and inviting response like this Ill see you on Friday, August 7th for a beer and/or coffee

so sad i missed this one

Im gonna be in Germany for a few days near Bielefeld. I was gonna do a day trip via sbahn to Hamburg and visit the Iron Heart store. Any recs on things to do to fill a day (likely a Friday early august) that include fancy coffee and maybe a beer place before hoping back on the train? Basically a 10 hour guide to Hamburg? Or is there another city near by thats worth a day trip? Thanks

Oh that parka

oh this is awesome

wasnt going to buy these as i just got the 888ib's but the 35's stayed in stock overnight and i decided to be a degenerate and get another pair. too many good releases this year.

oh good to know, ill keep an eye out. thanks

missed these and looking to start an IB outfit, located in socal.

shoutout to @dwils for selling me a pair of 888XHSiB that wernt the right size for him but a size i was looking for. Super easy transaction and shipment came in a few days.

Is anyone able to confirm this store front is still open? (covid) Ill be in Tokyo in 2 weeks and might try and make a special trip out on a Sunday AM.

i gotta be that guy and ask:

I was trying on a old pair of 634's in a 35 and i felt the legs were much tighter/slimmer than my 888 25oz 36's. As in quite a bit noticeable, whereas i would almost describe my 888's as baggy below the knees, the 634's felt more trimmed. Anyone else have this experience?

My problem is I enjoy the roominess of the 888 upper block but really which the legs and below the knee were trimmer. I think wearing the bibs ruined me. And now I wanna grab a UHR pair before the go OOS. The 634's were a bit more restrictive in the thighs but the overall fit "fit" me better (at least in my head in the mirror.)

any advice other than buying all the UHR pairs 

@Daniel:

@Noahf:

One thing i noticed that i thought was super weird, some of the stitching is different color. So like the left pocket and left fly are one yellow/gold color, and the right side of the fly is a different yellow/gold color. Why is that?

can you make a picture?

Here you go. Don’t mind the dry wall dust:

Adding a pantry in the garage and it’s a good break in for the 888’s.

Look ma, no hands!

I never thought I would have a pair that stood up on their own, but here we are. The upper block is awesome, comfy. The rear goes a good few inches higher than many of my other pairs. I do wish there was a bit more taper below the knee, but i imagine that is a symmetrical issue.

And the craziest thing that will be said today: these 25oz feel so light compared to the double knee bibs its like im not wearing anything! They feel like “normal” jeans at this point. I think ive gone mad. They arnt even soft yet and feel like a good pair. I had them hemmed but still have way to much, so probably going to do a tight japanese cuff.
