@wildeep It's been done by a few of the members here. One of them is @Nik and you can see his progress here: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk//post/774082
There are others and you can find them using the search function with the terms: wax N1
Right. So I definitely won’t be trying that then!
Would it be possible/sensible in theory to oil or wax this jacket? I know there is an oiled one for sale but I have this d-pocket version and was wondering if that would work? To increase the heft and waterproofing a bit
Any ideas when these will come back in stock? I’m really keen to give them a try. Unfortunately because of getting into weight training I can no longer fit into 888s as they’re too tight on my upper legs. I’m a w33. Anyone with experience of 1955 any chance they give more thigh and quad room compared to 888? It looks like thigh measures slightly less on these but generally top block is a little bigger so thought they might work! So sad that no iron heart cuts seem to work for me. Best I’ve found is Samurai s3100 which fit me great although I’d prefer more of a taper
888 Fit Guidance
Hi, I’ve tried multiple different cuts of iron heart jeans. I finally got some 888 14oz in waist 32. To start with I thought they’d be way too tight but I persevered and they have now stretched out to more or less my ideal fit. Perhaps a tiny but tight in the thigh still but basically a really good fit as the waist has stretched out a bit with wear. I had dabbled with 666 in w34 which fit well everywhere except the waist which began to really annoy me as the excess material would bunch up. W32 in 666 the thigh was ludicrously tight for me so not possible , but fit well on the waist .
So my question is this. If 888 14oz fits me well in 32 after wearing them in, can I expect something similar with the heavier weight 888s? I am keen to get some 21oz but want to know if w32 will also be the right fit for me in the heavyweight as I wonder if there’s a bit less give/stretch?
Many thanks
Josh

I own the Copeland in Gunpowder for 6+ years. Highly recommendable stuff!
That looks incredible!
I just got this shirt. At the moment the fabric is so stiff it’s like a tent. Interested to hear how much it’ll soften up as it breaks in, would you mind letting me know what you found with that? Cheers josh
