Motherhood of BIB

For those of you wondering who has the sample...

This 21oz CPO will be getting all of my attention. I will be posting here regularly, as I did with the IHSH-409 Sample from two summers ago. I am going to give this thing absolute Hell over the next year and document it all here, your favorite forum.

First impressions are that this thing is built the Iron Heart way. Impressive off the bat, heavy as Hell, yet soft and super comfortable. I really love the way 21oz looks unwashed as it fades initially, so I plan to keep this thing dry as practically possible.

So stoked to start this one! Thank you @Alex and the Stubborn Crew at IH for making this happen. I love Iron Heart! Let's go!

Here you can see the sleeves are wet as I have been setting the creases. I highly recommend using a spray mister bottle (like for plants) to dampen areas that will crease. It helps a ton with creating intricate fold patterns on the inner arms.

@derek111 wow that photo is awesome. I really love the bib CPO combo.

@Danimal506 agreed

@Danimal506 I just threw mine in the washer with a load of other clothes. Let them hang and dry. Twice now I think. They look a bit more broken in but not by much. I have my pair packed away for vacation tomorrow but I can take photos later next week.

@Danimal506 In my opinion wider leg openings look better hemmed short especially with lighter weight fabrics. Cuffs look better with heavier denim in cuts that have smaller hem, again in my opinion.

@endo

Would be cool to have a new heavyweight Wabash jeans in a few cuts, 888, 634, 666. With a thick leather patch that says Heavy Wabby on it. Thinking of the thick creases and fades both black and indigo versions.

@Mizmazzle woah! So good! Holy crap!!!

@Giles Wow, thank you for sharing that information. Here's to hoping y'all regroup snd bust out something amazing in the near future. Still a ways out from the 25th anniversary which from this perspective seems to be a good thing.

@Kasi Oh what a wonderful day it would be to have a new crack at a new iteration of 25oz. That would be fecking amazing, wouldn't it? This is all I will say as we know a new heavyweight isn't in the cards anytime soon.

the single best denim ever made in the history of all mankind.

sounds like something I would say and I agree with it being top 3.
