Hey @Lost Ronin — welcome! Everything Yannis said about measuring and the charts is totally spot on. After a while you’ll get an idea of what sizes you GENERALLY wear in certain cuts / shirts etc but there are ALWAYS exceptions. So yep, chart chart chart.

The main thing I wanted to ask, though: have you looked at the 888? That’s often the choice for peeps with larger thighs or generally more athletic builds. The 1955s are also a totally good choice for that, but they’ve been out of stock for a while and afaik, they’re not due anytime soon. Giles has even mentioned discontinuing them, I think?

All that said, they’ve always seemed appealing to me, and I’ve been waiting for a while to see a restock. So I’m with ya there, but if you get impatient, maybe see if the 888 could work.

And btw, congrats on the weight loss! Enjoy your badass denim reward!

Thanks for the information. I'll definitely look at the 888s as well. I was unaware they're out of stock. I hadn't gotten that far just yet. Nothing wrong with more than one pair of IH Denim.
Here on Iron Heart America site they're listed as continuous production,  yet they're out of stock at the moment.
I'll have to be patient and check back.

Hello everyone! This forum is amazing!! So I'm looking for my first pair of Iron Heart jeans and I think these are the ones.
I've been looking and reading for months! I have large thighs. Nearly 25 inches from a combination of genetics and athletics. I've got a big butt. Really big. So nothing fits me. Levi's 541 fit me in a 38 but a bit loose. 501s fit me if I size up yo a 40 which seems to fit like everyone else's size 38. I also have a longer torso as I'm 5'11" but have a 30 inch inseam.

So these will be my gift to myself as I've recently finished a 200lb weight loss and now I can fit into the good jeans.

These are 21oz and should be amazing once aged and lived in.
