I have been very happy with my purchase even though I originally wanted the OD.

Might get a better idea under natural light. But you might see the indigo fade a bit here.

From Haraki's blog. So soon perhaps?

Reporting back after having these for about 2 weeks.
I was stressed because they were my first pair of IH jeans. Never had anything this heavy + never had anything with tag size 40 before.
After the initial soak and wash--> perfect fit and they just keep getting better the more I wear them. I absolutely love them more than any other jeans I own.
Measurements were quite close to that of my 38 Freenote Portolas and I can confirm that It was the right thing to do to trust the measurements rather than the tag size alone.
They are a little roomier but not baggy by any means.

One hell of pair of jeans!

DHL Express delivers. It was not love straight out of the box, but just like the Townes I washed it and now I like it a lot. Also roomier than I thought (just like the Townes) and the pockets are too good.

It is not warm enough here to wear it yet. Poor image quality sorry.

SP-large is great for me. Relaxed and cozy fit while wearing a t-shirt but not too much. XXXL could have worked, but there is always a risk it might be a little too constricting for me. Feels good and versatile. Length is also just right for a tall fella like me. With the bigger size you get longer sleeves, but they don't bother me. They feel just slightly shorter than on the 293, but not by a lot.

I am sure I could layer a hoodie under, but I plan to wear this like in the pic with a t-shirt. I would have been XXXL in the indigo based on the sizing.

Got myself this black one on a good sale awhile back. Hasn't got much wear. I decided quite early I found the drawstring useless so I pulled it out. Mistake haha because now there is no way I can tread it back because the fabric is so thick.
I wonder if anyone has managed to get any monster fades with this one or not.

Looking for some advice from anyone who has experience with Iron Heart work pants compared with the 888s.

I have a pair of IH-634S-18 and IH-888S-21OD, both in size 38 with a 12.6" front rise. Interestingly, the rise is the same on both models, and I find it comfortable.
I'm now considering a pair of work pants later, using the IH-822-IND size chart as an example. The listed front rise is 11.6", which is a full inch shorter than what I'm used to. I also noticed when looking at some older size charts that the front rise tends to be an inch shorter in general with work pants. I am not thinking about the double knee specifically, but any work pant really.

For those who own both IH work pants and 888s, how noticeable is the difference in rise and overall comfort? In particular, how do the work pants feel when sitting, bending down, or moving around throughout the day? Does the lower rise make a significant difference in comfort, or is it something you barely notice once you're wearing them? One of my main concerns is comfort when sitting in a car, as a lower rise can sometimes feel restrictive.

@Choko Congrats man! I saw it but I wanna get 3xl or 4xl in this depending on the final measurements. I think I'll also try it out with my 9526PJ. You probably feel bulletproof wearing 2x 21oz SB

@dirtyframer Yeah same. I don't consider a jacket like this as a fade project. We'll see how they size. I hope for enough length though it is usually a shorter jacket. Goal is that a flannel doesn't stick out too much when layering one under. Otherwise this will be perfect with thermal, hoodie or crewneck.

@SamD The IHJ-169-KHA tease everytime. It looks like it gets better with every wear!

@H-P-U Searching for the lightweight n1s from last fw and looking at the charts shows that this one has slightly wider but the difference is very small.

@Richard Same here. Interested in the 1955+21oz

If you ever decided to do a reissue or even a slightly updated version of IHJ-81 I think there would be demand even though I say so myself. Work jackets and 17oz duck sell so why not combine both of those again? It's about time!

Update: Well. Something came over me and I just got one of the last 3 in my size. My IHJ-150-BLK is too good so I probably won't regret having a brown one as well. Classic duck color.

Popping the collar and using the copper hook and bar fastening at neck provides great wind protection too and doesn't leave much of a gap for the wind to travel through the front either.
Was tough to do up when new but now works great.
