@goosehd You mean drive 4.5 hours to go to a store that will have nothing in stock except size 29 and the odd 42?

Don't mean to be saucy, but as someone with a 34 inch waist, going into Self Edge LA wasn't very enlightening.

@roydub87 Thanks for the insight! Yeah the dressed up Cowboy Dallas-thing is a new thing for me and I'm trying to fit in within my Japanese denim dorkery. I do notice that basically people are wearing very slim looking Wranglers.

I know that Iron Heart is a motorcycle type of brand, but which of the fits or fabrics do you think work best for a western look(cowboy boots, cowboy hats, big belt buckles, etc...)? It seems like the cuts are really Levi's inspired. Maybe a 634 in the broken twill? Maybe 666?

I moved to Dallas and am looking for a kick ass jean to wear at the Western-dressy events they have around here. It's a scene where everyone's wearing Lucchese boots, and expensive cowboy hats and expensive white western shirts.

The 14oz's look good. But holding out for these.

Super excited about getting these today! Next to my 2 month old IH-666s indigos.

Saw an interesting podcast by the 3sixteen guys where they mentioned how much trouble they're having ordering denim from Japan.

Do you think there is merit to these rumors that buyers are snatching up all the loom time in a way that's more insidious than just selvedge being trendy right now and other brands are now competing for the fabric?

Is a Japanese brand like Iron Heart better positioned than an American brand that just purchases it? I find all of this fascinating.

OK cool. Sorry to hear that but I really appreciate how quickly you all answered my question.

So is Iron Heart just done making raw/loomstate/unwashed denim?
