IH-301S
-
Got my 301s hemmed by Tyler and Rain from Indigo Proof in PDX. - I highly recommend their services, which were easy, convenient and very thorough!
I took the inseam from 36.5 to 33. I wanted a little room for stacking and I didn't want to cut out all the taper. I probably could have gone 32 and been happy but I dig the cut even more now.
Cheers,

Tyler is the shit. Hemmed my 301s too and also tried on a ton of stuff for me to ensure proper fits with the rest of my order. Top dude.

^ I agree, I have some Mister Freedom Riders Dungarees getting the bottom pockets moved and hemmed, as well as some Sugar Cane SBG and 666 UHR getting hemmed all at the moment. Love their easy service process and passion behind it. You can tell they like having fun with it!

Drop them an email! They have my UHR right now and didn't seem to have an issue with it.

Hi all and thanks for the kind words! Glad its obvious we're having fun with it, because we really are!
We've already been getting some really nice UHR and XHS and we're definitely stoked to work on them for both repairs and hems! Getting to see such a diversity of jeans in various stages of wear and disrepair is definitely one of the coolest parts of the job, but we're both very stoked to be seeing a good deal of Iron Heart, and they remain person favorites of both of us, so I'll probably be spending a lot more time hanging out here!

^Agreed -
welcome Tyler @tmadd ! -
People say that cuffs don't work with the 301 cut… But I beg to differ.
Just doing my best to keep this thread alive lol

These are looking great. I bought mine in SENY and had them hemmed for stacking to 34" but should have gone shorter. They're my first IH and the pair I've worn most so I love them, but I always regretted not sizing down as they've ended up with a 38" waist and a 13´5" thigh. They're my carpentry/DIY/drinking beer/watching footie/playing Xbox jeans now
Can I ask how tall you are @Appfaff ?

Nice one [emoji1417] it's always helpful to know these things. We're kind of a similar size so I can get a decent idea of fits etc. I'm 6" and about 220lbs.
You're 301's look really good at that length. Need to find someone up my way who can hem XHS. I didn't learn from earlier mistakes with the 301's and ordered 34" to stack again. 2" of stacking is just not necessary

@neph93 - yep sounds like we are similar! As of yesterday, I'm back to 100KG (I was 102-103KG when I got the 301s) - not a big difference, but we have 6 week old twins, so trying to lose the baby weight and any change is progress to me!
I am a weightlifter, so I am more "dense" in the lower half of my body so these are 38s. In realty, I should have hemmed them to 31.5 and called it a day, have a bit of a dreak in the denim, but no real stacks, but the taper would have been almost entirely cut out and I wear a size 9.5US shoe, so 9" leg opening don't really do me any justice.
I could have handled the thigh, knee and waist of the 36, but the rise would have made them unable to button or pull up over my "rear" on me. Im already cutting it close with these, but I love the silhouette of the leg so much, I'm making them work. Plus, they are nostalgic for me as a super thrashed pair of 301s was my first introduction to IH denim back in 2009 when I joined some internet forums. Been hooked on the cut, color and "culture" of the cut since then.
I',m tempted to grab a pair of the 555N just so I can have a lighter weight, higher rise version as well, since the 301N don't go to a 38 (and I tried the 36… they didn't work lol).
You should post up more pics of yours - they were starting to look great in your last photos!
