I finally picked up my AI-002 from take5.  NO 24 oz yet so I have to hit them again in June or so.

Soooo.. I got a size 34….  glad I did...  POST SOAK it's a SIZE 32!!!  Man, it shrunk so much, it shrunk more then my 005 in a size 33. 
It was a HOT soak @ 60C.  Color change was very insignificant post soaking, Just a super tiny hint lighter.

If I were to compare fit between the 005 and AI-002, the AI feels a tad more fitted and proportions a little better then the 005. The top block is a little more snug but the thighs a tiny bit looser and more comfortable.  With a few more days wear lets see how much these stretch out...

AI-002 and 634SR rotating daily, life is good.  ;D....  until summer when I need to switch to light jeans.

Anyone recommend brands that have good thick loopwheeled tees? 
I have one from Studio D'artisan that I like, but if I can find a heavier version the better.
Just ordered a bunch of the IH plain tees to try out…  hope they work out. 

Just bought everything except Purple in L….  I really hope I sized correctly...  I'm a 38S but all my comfy shirts are 41"... 

There's goes the car parts fund.  I want one without pockets…   

I've never seen iron heart tees in person so can anyone give me some info?
Are they tube tees - no seem on the sides?
Are they loop wheeled?  How are the seems stitched?
I have Samurai/Studio D'artisan tees, are they heavier then those?

Thanks for any answers, maybe I've finally found me rocking tees that don't fall apart like my American Apparel ones. And the absence of logo is the best part!  Well, maybe a small W on the bottom right of the tees similar to Studio D'artisan wouldn't be so bad….....

Just got back from HK to see this, ORDERED INSTANTLY. 
I hope the AA tees are good, I tore through my old ones within a year, they were thin and flimsy.

@gbougard:

PBJ's 24 oz models are pushed back a month to end of March, goddamit…

Darn, my next HK trip is scheduled for the middle of March and was really hoping to try these on at Take5.
No restock of the AI until July too, might not be able to visit HK the 2nd half of this year, sad.

@Seul:

Please do something with a piglet next team Bea-Jim!..

Ah this rate I'm going to have a shirt for every tasty animal.

@elclintor:

Is this design gonna be on a shirt?

i want one of those too..

Waiting for this version as well.  My tagline when I travel is double double beef, this shirt could not be more perfect.

I have the 005 in size 33 now.  Waist is just a tiny bit loose (.5"), but the rest is a good fit, not too tight or loose in the thighs, just about right.

I can't decide to get the AI-001 in size 32 and stretch out the waist…. or the AI-002 in a size 34 and shrink the waist....  but I think all the AI come fully shrunk like the 634SB. I love the slubbyness of the AI and the COLOR, the color is incredible in real life.  Take5 only had the AI-001 in 34 and it was too loose in the waist and thighs.  Really want to try the AI-002.

Any plans on IR making a jean with great texture in a natural indigo?  Until discovering the color of natural indigo, I didn't know what I was missing!

Another noob question.
I currently wear APC Rescues in a size 31 and am looking at getting the correct sizing for IH-634SR.  Here are the current measurement for my APC and 634SR measurements I got off the website.

APC 31" IH-634SR
Inches 31 32
Waist 33 32.6
Inseam 31 37
Front Rise 11 10.3
Rear Rise 14.5 15.1
Knee 9 9.5
Cuff 8.5 9
Thigh 12.5 13.1

Would the 634SR in a size 32" shrink then stretch enough in the waist?  And what length should I hem them too?  Wishing the front rise was a little longer, any fits in a 21oz. that is close to the APC?  Thanks!
