Keep wearing them. As they break in, that area will mold to your body and stop being uncomfortable. Probably wouldn't help much, but you could also wash them and then put them on while they're still a bit damp. That might help speed up the break-in process.

Hi, new to the forum (and, it seems high end denim).
My question is regarding the facility to email enquiring about sizing.
I seem to have dimensions which are not "average" (are any of us average?)
Could I mail someone with my measurements and get some advice on the best fit for me, as well as sizing/shrinkage?
I'm not able to try any on befor I buy.My previous foray into "premium" denim went badly when some supposedly "sanforized" jeans shrunk horrendously (in the length) leaving me £130 odd out of pocket!

Giles is the man to ask, there are also plenty of forum members with lots of sizing experience who would be happy to assist you mate. Feel free to drop me a message if you can't work out how to PM Giles (go to messages at the top of the forum).

You can ask us as many questions as you want with the exception of questions like this:
"I wear an L in a off Mongolian camel hair and alpaca vest I bought 65 years ago in a street market in Moscow, whay size will I be in Iron Heart"
But, in all honesty the best thing to do is what we suggest under the sizing tab:
Important: The best way to determine the size you need, is to measure a similar item you already own and compare with the actual sizing as per the table below. Do not go by tagsize alone.To see how we measure click on the "How we Measure" tab (on every product page.
If you still have questions after doing this, then drop us an email.
If you are a first time customer, Matt will see this when you place your order and he will be cross examine you about how sure you are that you have ordered the correct size anyway.
Getting sizing wrong, pisses us off as much as it pisses you off. We try to avoid it at all costs.

Thinking about a duck engineers cap…. Do any of you fine individuals have any recommendations?

I assume you mean the duck baseball cap.
What size fitted hat do you wear? I wear a new era fitted in 7.5 (hipster style) next size down for a fitted normal look. If you have a bigger head than that it will not fit. The leather strap is maxed out on mine and does not protrude out of the metal clasp. I love it.

Hah! I think I read it wrong.
Not to worry old chap the response was greatly appreciated nonetheless! I did check out the duck cap but as I have a massive forehead the only caps that seem to fit me without looking ridiculous are engineer caps

@=8960:
Monday,
I'm looking into buying a quality pair of jeans . . . if you can tell me what makes a pair of jeans good quality that would be great. Also why do you favor ironheart denim? I look forward to your reply
Figure this is one of those questions a lot of folks might want to take a crack at. I wish I could tell you what makes a quality pair of jeans, but in my experience they all wear out the same. I'm sure it's not everyone's experience, but I'm just keeping it 100% with you. Now my take on Iron Heart is pretty straight forward. I like them & so I purchase them. It doesn't hurt that the company listens to it's customer & are just genuine people. I know my answer may be a bit simple. . . . but that's really my take on it. Maybe a few others will see this & take a crack at sharing their reasons. No matter what you decide good luck on the hunt.

Of course man.
There's one I've long admired, not in duck, but in horse blanket, and made by John Lofgren, who is always outstanding quality: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/speedway-shop/item/lc-021/
Also a red chambray engineer's hat: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/speedway-shop/item/lc-019-red/?s-id=borderless_recommend_item_en

Why would a company make a pair if jeans with the material used completely inside out. Saw it on a site earlier this week and seems like a tremendously terrible idea. I'm sll about outside the box, but this just seems downright silly
