@Anesthetist I’ve got another STL IH fanatic ? I’m over in Webstergroves !!

@Mizmazzle flyest teacher around, seriously I love that kit you may have just convinced me to get a pair of the XHB bbs

I Already have a ridiculous amount of iron heart shirts along with other brands so I rationalized with myself to hold off on this drop and am having major regrets , turning my focus now on that wild natural dyed indigo M65…….. buttt if someone has a L or XL that didn’t fit well feel free to message me lol

IHSH-266-IND
IHT-1600-WHT
IH-555-XHBib

Any updates on a restock for this or the white version?

@Alex no worries, that gives me more time to prepare and save for this beast lol…. Having all sorts of crazy ideas about how 21mm M65 style GA buttons would look next to that deep blue

Any updates or estimates on release? And how’s this marvelous jacket been treating you since we saw it last ? @Alex

@deanclean ya the first week is gonna consist of lots of little jumps and leg shakes to get those off, but as they break in it gets a bit easier (not much) .

@deanclean looks like a great fit man !! Ive also been very happy with the fit on these 555s they are definitely slim, but with the thickness of the material and the way it creases and stacks they don’t come off as a “skinny jean“

@Supersonic 5’9 almost 5’10 and around 180-185, these are a 35 tag with a true waist of 35.7 and a thigh at 13.1, had to size up a bit since I have a relatively muscular build and needed the extra room in the thigh. But they fit perfectly with a belt.

@Graham, thanks for the reply!! And ya, I can definitely see how Shrinkage is different from case to case. But I’m not too worried, and I love how they fit and feel now, so I will go with the flow and keep ‘em dry!

If and when they need a bit of a refresh I’ll do my standard cold soak and sunshine hang/dry. It’s worked wonders for me and achieved some killer high-contrast fades!

Whatever shrinkage does or doesn’t occur, I’ll deal with it then, and I’ll keep the forum updated on this pair's journey……it will be a fun one!

@goosehd I appreciate your input! Definitely something I want to figure out now, instead of down the road when it could cause a bigger problem.

@goosehd I may be wrong but if I cold soak (not hot soak) I shouldn’t loose anything in the leg.
I talked with Graham about this and was told not soaking was fine since they are sanforised and if I did a (cold soak only) i wouldn’t loose anything in the leg but he may have been referring my fear of losing room in the thigh which is the main reason for me not soaking them lol.
Do you think a cold soak will shrink the inseam ?

@Daniel-San when they showed up they actually fit so perfectly without a soak I decided to take @alexswords advice and “wear em dry till they die” lol. The stiffness was brutal the first few days but they are already softening up and the creases have set in super strong and look incredible.

I plan on cold soaking them and hanging them in the sun if they ever need it in the future.

My first pair of ultra heavy 25oz jeans showed up a little over a week ago and after confirming the fit I took them up to mildblend to get them hemmed up.

all I can say is wow……
these may be the best fitting pair of jeans I own and this fabric is just nuts, the depth of the color and thickness is just off the charts. Thanks to the team at IH and specifically Ross for working with me to get the perfect measurements picked. I couldn’t be happier with them !!!

not to trying discourage anyone who already sized down more advice for those still ordering, but I'm normally a large and tried a medium from division road, it arrived today and while an absolutely beautiful shirt it was a bit too snug especially in the arms and wrists as well as being a tad scratchy which is totally normal for wool. This led me to bite the bullet and extra shipping fees and exchange it for a bigger fit so I can layer something like a Henley or thermal, I think this will be a perfect application for the shirt, lastly dose anyone else have input or received there's yet?  the fabric sure is amazing and I'm exited to see the outfits you guys think up with it !

These didn’t get made in W35. Also, I would recommend posting on WTB.
