Hey Arrow, great pics. I'm jealous. Mine don't arrive for a week or so. Did you soak in them? I'm interested in your technique. I'm going to put together a guide (see earlier post to this thread). Keep taking pics, I want to use them for the "guide" (if that's cool with you). Everyone seems to have a different technique. Really cool.

No… I will be jealous of you! If somehow I can re-live the first moments of opening the package and just staring at it - I will do the "iron hurt" again.

1.  Try it on and see how it fits.  Good luck with the buttons, your fingers will hurt like hell.
2.  Quick Cold soak (Inside-out) for 35 minutes, then rinse/spin cycle.
3.  Tumble dry low (delicate setting) for 20 minutes
4.  While damp, must take picture of Invisible Denim Man.  This is the highlight of the process.  You will laugh then cry for what's gonna come next.
5.  Ease into the denim, button it up (pace yourself at this stage).
6.  Grab your favorite denim magazine, sit by the heater.  (At this stage, avoid all unnecessary trips to the bathroom cuz you don't want to undo the buttons)
7.  An hour later... your denim is ready. Semi dry but you can go out and PLAY!!!

Merry X-Mas to All and go crazy with your IRON HEARTS!

Wow! Alot went into that. All i did was, overnight soak in a luke warm bath, hang to dry. One day later when they were slighty damp wore them around the house for a bit, then hung back up again to dry properly, two days later job done!!!!

You are right though the stiffness of getting in and out of them is unbelievable.

DougNg & Seul, your IH 802 and SExIH07BK look great on each of you ! They fit very well ! I still smart with pain that I missed out on the SExIH07 overdyed BK myself but I needed another pair of IH jeans like I needed a fuckin' hole in the head. Plus, since the SExIH07 overdyed BK is not skinny/slim, there are other IH jean models (at Self Edge, San Francisco) which are more flattering on me. DougNg and Seul, you look very fit and toned – whatever you're doing to stay that way, keep doing it !

Thanks Shub! I do work out, 6-7 days a week. Weights, running and martial arts. Slim jeans are a relative thing…the SEXIH07 are about as tight as can fit around my legs. I'll try to get some fit pics this weekend when I'm out with my girlfriend.

I have wanted that Turquoise Vest since day one. This flick just makes me that much more interested… Damn You G!

Giles, the flannel fits you perfectly and makes me want to get a blue one as well, but the helmet is at least 4 sizes too big.
