This is the best jacket ever. I love it so much. It's so beautiful, soft and fuzzy. I love how the arms stack too. It's still unwashed and it's starting to get some slight fades.

@Filthy:
I wanted to post an update and answer my own question regarding the XHS BB denim:
@Filthy:That's awesome. Do they have a soft hand or is it rough?
After wearing these for a couple wears, they definitely do have that velvety XHS hand that I love and admire so much. They feel every bit as thick and heavy as the other pairs of XHS I have owned. The denim has a very smooth hand compared to the 21oz SBG pair that I have them to compare them to. I think I wore that SBG pair about nine months or so and they are unwashed. The 21oz denim kind of has an almost corduroy feel to them and the XHS feels smoother and more dense and velvety. I love it.
I got the tagged size 36 waist to stretch from a 35.7 (soaked) to exactly a 37 (both the Self Edge laid flat method, and IH method).
I am so pleased with these jeans and am very grateful to have them!

RE: IH-555S-SLB - 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - Indigo
I know maybe not everyone will like my assumption because I don't have the financial resources to try absolutely everything that's out there..
The quality and the construction of these (I get to experience in the Pronto variety) and the distinct quality of the denim, these are absolutely the most top notch quality slubby lighter weight jeans I have been able to see or wear. Going to see as much denim in stores I can possibly do. They are very interesting and also intense to wear for me because of the slub. But the core of the denim in between the slub is as soft as all the other IH denims. The thing that is remarkable is how sturdy and meticulously crafted everything is.
I really appreciate the effort that went into making these and everyone's effort getting them into my hands. My jeans are probably the most entertaining part of my life.I had to turn these up so I can see the crazy pattern and texture of the inside of the denim.

Lots of sun today. These jeans remind me of my cat, black in a way but soft and shiny, and pearlescent luster much like my cat in the sun.

RE: IH-634S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans
The sun briefly came out so I took the opportunity to go outside in my underwear and take a couple more pictures.
This is my favorite detail about these jeans… How curly the selvedge ends are. It makes some interesting fade patterns and awesome train tracks on the outseams and there's a curl on the right inseam too.
The honeycombs are super interesting and they have a ton of character and depth.The sun vanished again so they don't appear as bright.

RE: Iron Heart Hacks…
I got a new washer I wanted to show you. This one is big enough to lay the jeans out flat. They are $25 at Walmart. And you can store your other jeans in it when it's not being used as a vessel. Pretty much a shallow coffin for a little person. Even has wheels and I put it under my bed to store it.
I forgot to share this last week. But I couldn't find my fels naptha so I used this antique bar of ivory soap that's probably from the 70' or 80's and like three drops of Dawn to wash my lefties.

RE: IHM-21 - 21oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Peacoat
Christ, I have been avoiding this forum because I am so broke. I haven't worked much and I have been helping out my mom a lot so she can afford her medicine and stuff.
This and the 21oz N1 are so nice. It took everything I have not to buy it.

RE: IHSH-20 Heavy Western Flannel
^Thanks. I have a heavyweight green check shirt from Ralph Lauren that is pretty similar. But am looking for a grey one. There is currently no shirt on the market anywhere that is a western and grey buffalo plaid.
This is actually how I discovered Iron Heart.. looking for a shirt that is both western cut and grey buffalo plaid. The closest thing I have been able to find is a really cheap non-western shirt available on Amazon.

RE: IHSH-20 Heavy Western Flannel
to Giles: Is this ever going to be available again? Specifically in a 2XL Grey plaid. If it does, you can take my money…
