Hi Richard here.

This is somewhat over due as I am new to iron heart.

Earlier this year, I decided to redo my wardrobe to focus more on quality than quantity. I am usually the type of person who researches for months before doing anything. Well my research led me here and I have now started replacing a good chunk of my clothes.

Being that I am from San Antonio, Tx, I do have to put up with our overly hot and dry summers where we are consistently above 100 degrees. I am lucky though that I do have a pretty lax dress code at work and that is where most of my wear comes from except for the lighter pieces I can possibly wear with shorts.

In my short time on this site I have the following items that I have either bought direct from IHUK or gone into a self edge store to try on before buying.

• 633s-18 vintage jeans(learned afterwards that I need higher rise. Still my everyday pair as I make it work)
• 888s-Sbg
• IHSH-438-IND
• SEXIH25-CPOOD restock
• SEXIH-BRCPO-BLK 13oz broken twill
• IHSH-443-IND
• IHSH-445-IND
• IHSH-438-PUR
• IHSH-442-SAX

I think I am pretty much done for shirts for the year as I really do not need anything more heavy as we really do not get cold or long winters.

I am planning on picking up the following jeans though to replace my 633s and finish my rotation.

• 888s-21OD
• 888-XHS

Other then that I will just be on the lookout for spring summer releases/ restocks that are on the lighter weight and can possibly be worn with shorts on the weekends. I do not foresee picking up any more CPO type shirts as I have a couple that I need to work on lol.

Excited to be apart of this community.

Got my broken twill in black in today. Initial fit is pretty close to perfect. P2P is a hair tight but still fits very well.

Here are the measurements if interested.

Size - xxl
Shoulder - 20”
Length - 30.5”
P2P - 23.5”
Opening - 23”
Sleeve length - 27.25”
Sleeve opening - 4.9”

I measure using the method shown on iron hearts website and not how self edge advises.

Here are a couple of pics as well. In one of them you can see how this will start to fade.

Was not going to get this one after getting the purple one but felt a store credit from a return burning a hole in my pocket and ended up ordering this one from self edge. This stuff is addicting lol. These will be my first 2 flannels from IH and these lighter weight ones I feel will get more usage as it does not really get all that cold where I live.

Thought I would post some updates. Roughly 30ish wears and 1 wash. You can see the fading starting to come through around seams and edges.

After reading this whole post and trying to hold out in hopes my size would sell out, I finally gave in and have a xxl on the way. Hoping this will be a perfect summer shirt for me in the hot Texas summers. Looking at most likely making it a work shirt every now and then and my main shirt on the weekends.

Finally got around to washing my pair to shrink them. They are now perfect and sit right in between a large and an XL. Lost the most in the inseam which was expected and they are now at 32” long which is perfect for me. Excited to get a ton of wear in these around the house and my lounge pants

@Yoprst my own observations are based on trying on both the 634 and 888. I do not see a ton of difference in fit from knee down. Are the 634s a looser fit? Yes but not by all that much and even less if you cuff like I do roughly 3-4”. Like I said the biggest difference for me was high rise vs medium rise. Maybe there really is not more room in the top block like you say but it definitely makes a big difference for me. I am a gym rat and have always had issues with Jean fit and having the high rise does make a huge difference for me especially once I start moving around standing up kneeling down. Stand still is not as noticeable but the 888s do not feel as tight and give me just enough space to move. Again this is just my personal observation and others may see this differently.

@meatmarketdenim1 are you sure that Selfedge is stocking this CPO? I believe the stock list was updated and Selfedge did not stock them. There is nothing online either. Maybe I am remembering wrong and the stock list is incomplete. Either way, nothing a simple call to them could answer.

Decided I needed a pair of black jeans and picked up a pair today. This is my first pair of jeans in the 21oz denim and they do not disappoint.

Given I got rid of all my older pairs of jeans and am currently working on a pair of 18oz denim, this sbg pair will allow me to wear most of my indigo shirts as it gives me contrast. My 18oz indigo jeans are not showing signs of fading yet to have enough contrast with my shirts.

Just my own opinion but I cannot stand to wear a same color top and jeans that almost look the same color even if the texture is different. That is just me though lol.

@Vik thanks for checking into this and getting back to me.

Was not sure where to ask this question.

I know that the 1955s cut is expanding and was wondering if there are any plans to expand to the 25oz denims for this cut or whether there are plans to restock/expand for the different 21oz denims.

@cyclops thanks. Depending on where you are located, you can easily find them in stock. If in the US I believe self edge has all sizes in stock still.

Wabash CPO
Samurai s510xx25oz-sp

Got my CPO in today and it fits perfectly. Big thanks to the iron heart guys for finding one with my specific measurements.

Also, I cannot believe how soft this fabric is out of the gate. Although all I have to compare is the self edge iron heart 13oz broken twill black CPO to compare it too.

I saw that there was no planned restock date on these. Any ideas on when you are planning on taking orders/inputting the next order for a restock?

Just got my pair in today and the fit is spot on. I also have never felt a pair that is so soft to start. Almost feel very light to the 18 and 21oz I wore until they were to large as I have lost weight. Feel like nothing compared to my 25oz samurai’s I am currently wearing.

@yannis I decided to go ahead and give them a room temp soak. Glad I did as I lost 1.5” in inseam length. Waist and thigh were negligible. Wearing them today already as they were dry over night

Question for yall.

I just picked up a pair of s510xx25oz-sp and they are probably me best fitting jeans I currently have. This is my first time though with unsanforized one wash denim. Should I do a cold/warm soak of around 30mins to try and get the last of the shrinkage out? Include an additional cold wash after and air dry? This is my first time with anything this heavy as well.

Just wondering what the general consensus is for these as I do not want to start wearing them and then get to washing and next thing I know the length has shortened and I get fade lines that move on me because of it. That is the primary concern. I believe the waist will tighten up a little but that is fine for me if they are a little tight as they will stretch back out to my normal waist size.

Am I over thinking it and I should just start wearing them?

@IWannaIndigoHome I am the same way and usually looking for a 14” thigh. I just got a pair of 1955s with a 13.8. I am thinking this will be the lowest I can go as I have noticed with my other pairs that started out with a 14” thigh that they have stretched and feel somewhat too baggy and now measure 14.25”. So I am hoping that 13.8 will be just about right to once they stretch, they will be perfect at 14”.

I know it is a different cut cut I should have them sometime this weekend if not Monday so hopefully I can update you if you want
