how will the black hold up after washes?

Yeah I went back and forth with measurements, unfortunately wasn't able to convince myself to pick these up. I washed and put on my falling apart IH-666s and decided I didn't want to squeeze my thighs into a 30.

For any short person like me out there looking for a really really good condition IH-666SB, check out Grailed! 

@ksozay:

Well, this might be a bit late for some folks but just in case…

• As I mentioned in another post, I am a true waist size 31 (15.5").
• In most IH denim, I wear a 32 based on personal preference for fit (e.g. some room in the waist).
• In most IH denim, the downside of a 32 for me, is the fit through the legs is a bit roomier than I'd like.

I recently picked up a pair of these (666SB) in a 29 and the fit is perfect for what I was looking for. No problems buttoning, top block was initially a little snug but loosened really quickly. Within a few days, fit was very comfortable. The measurements provided by IH, are spot on.

• 29 in these will fit like a 31, over time.
• 30 in these will likely fit like a 32, over time.

Just my findings but likely vary per body type. Hope this helps.

Take care,

KS

bringing this thread back to life for a bit. i found a pair of these on grailed tagged 30, problem is i comfortably wear a 31 from the original run of IH-666s. can anyone attest to a 30 fitting like a 32 over time?

my 31 fits a little loose in the waist but a little snug around the thighs/butt after just washing

i just dug my pair out of the closet, was thinking of having the leg tapered a bit more from the knee down.. has anyone done any alterations to their iron hearts? how did they hold up?

i hate to mess with the cut but im pretty short so i had them shortened awhile back but the leg opening just feels large.. maybe I should just get boots.

@LandoCal126:

Sell them to a Japanese person for like $500 and buy yourself a new pair (My buddy did this). That or hit up Rudy and or The Denim Vault as they are both looking for this type of stuff.

500 bucks! should i slap on levis fenom-esque rhinestones on them too?

true. possibly until they become ass-less chaps. which will inspire a new iron heart product.

25oz overdyed ass-less chaps. the future.

thanks!! hopefully i can get my ih-666s to look the same..

thanks guys! i really wish i could wear them still, i've had them repaired at self edge like three times i think. every time i get them back another hole starts to form.  the denim has gotten very, very thin at the seat.

@Matt: not sure if that is a compliment or an insult…i'm going to take it as a compliment. i don't post on here nearly as much as i should. i try to keep myself away from the forums so i don't want to buy jeans.

@Morose_Penguin i am not sure if i could part ways. i submitted some pictures to try to get them displayed at self edge LA before they opened but no luck... we'll see..

wish there was some kind of trade-in program. my pretty much retired 634S. 4 years old
