@Mindfulbiscuit great fit. I would keep them as long as the waistband were tight-enough.

@m4xime Thanks for posting…It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a faded pair of PBJ. Always liked the way these characteristically fade like non-other. yours are excellent.

@Mizmazzle why? why you only like your tracks straight?

personally, I would like to see the IH workshirt done in the 14bb and/or 18V denims *with snap…and possibly pockets (cpo). Thanks for your considerations

@Matt I wonder if more IH workshirts migrate to snaps (not buttons)…esp those with +9oz fabrics.

yeah, I think China better at sewing buttons. Almost all Japan-made shirts I’ve got have this problem. I like to think it’s by design: Forcing the wearer to make a personal connection with the garment by re-sewing buttons back onto the garment. Good opportunity to swap out thread colors and if you loose ‘em the buttons themselves.

Looking for one of these in XL. DM me if you want to part with yours.

why not ask this in the linked thread? got any fit pics so that we can better help you?

…anyway, based on your description alone: no. you should stick with the Large you got. dont think there is much hope of these loosening up after some wear, given that they are lined (x2) and face is made of whipcord.

@Peter I vote you go 19L…for the winter. And get the 18V when you vacation somewheres warm. That’s the plan. I’ve got 19L on RN. It’s heavy crunchy and comfortable. (not like Samurai)…Took a week to get comfy and conform. Lots of light blue showing already. Crocking is real. I’m excited to see the train tracks go the other waythis (my first) time. Last time I did IH 19oz it was RHT:

@Peter Ha, I made this same decision the other month. I ended up with the 19L, but that choice was also coupled with trying out the 888 cut. IMHO, 19L is more similar to the flagship 21S and 18V is more similar to the 17N. All of which are great denims and I plan on getting 18V next…maybe though in 888?

@Alex Sounds like it’s an end of an era for sulphur dying?

@T4920 I had a pair of 633 in the flagship denim a while ago. Never committed to them and had to get rid of them. My size is different now, so looking at these measurements in a new light.

Those look nice. The dimensions look pretty great for me too. Hard though to wrap my head around another cut…I just now getting into 888. I wonder if those 633s are made from same 18 oz vintage denim as the 293?

IH-888S-18od

Pardon me if it’s been made(or asked)…has IH run jeans cuts in black sulphur over-dyed 18oz? or is this (for some reason) only been done for the CPO?

@indigostiff this look like a blanket lined Chore coat to me…which I think would be really nice in the IH pattern with the 17oz duck.

@Ross said in Iron Heart Japan Fit Pics - and other great images from Japan…:

@Mister_Brue If you’re inquiring about this one, it’s the IHM-34-ODG.

They’re really good.

Bump

@JerkStore yyes. i find these to be noticeably cooler than the ib, bb, and od 14oz denim.
