Nice jeans, great fit Shubz, but you not wearing IH for the big prez
:)..GYou're absolutely right G. I was a little nervous about that too…like, should I do something different on the Big Day ? I'm pretty accustomed to the weight and feel of IH on my body. Hope I don't screw up just because I didn't wear IH !

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SAMS!!!!!!!
excellent fit Shubbz! that photo makes me want to break rotation and throw my 710's back on! ??? -
G, Seul and dead – thanks ! I'm tellin' ya...I'm glad I tried the "dark side"...meaning non-Iron Heart and lower-weight denim. My allegiance to IH is still tops but other denims have their place in this world too. Seul, I often go belt-less -- especially if the jeans stay up on their own without a belt. I never wear a belt with the SEXIH03/BK (IH Cyclists)...or rarely do anyway -- given their "pedal pusher" cut, a belt looks odd with IH Cyclists IMHO.

@simon626:
Shubz i think your IH301S and cyclists look more flattering on you compared to your other brand of jeans…Sams are great too, but when i compare them to how most of your IH look on you, the IH jeans just seem so much more custom fit for you. Maybe the sams just need more time to take to your body shape! Nice pick-up either way!
Thanks for your honesty Simon. There's no doubt that IH are better made jeans. So, yeah…it's conceivable that they look better because they just "hug" my body better. But I ain't wearin' no fucking Iron Heart to India ! That's why i bought the Sams and the Sugar Canes -- they look decent on me and they're gonna be my "go to" in case I ever visit an oppressively hot region ( Mexico and Hawaii included). As I have mentioned before though, I have no problem wearing IH YEAR-ROUND in The Bay Area. I never get "too hot" for Iron Heart, as long as I keep my butt in San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley.

@simon626:
hahaha yea, i definitely would not wear my IH around China or South Eastern Asian country….It's humid, hot, and the rain is warm sometimes....
Still, i'd bring my IH's with me and at least wear them once in that country so that i can say my IH have been to that country! ^_^
I was wearing my 634s the whole month last year on my holiday in Indonesia and they're still comfortable to wear even when one day reached 40 degrees celcius. I guess I'm just used to the warm weather there

@tfar:
The workmanship on those jeans looks on par with IH, I must say.
The difference being that Iron Heart could construct a pair of 14 oz jeans with their eyes shut in their lunch break. Simon Miller would not have one sewing machine capable of touching 21oz denim. That is the essential point about Iron Heart, it is not just beautifully crafted stuff, it is extremely technically difficult to do - that is part of its fascination…G

That is certainly true. Still general attention to detail and workmanship is very good. And I really like the color and quality of the fade. Price is quite high. The ones I looked up were like $275. I'd probably rather get an IH 634S for $45 more in 21oz. On the other hand, if I were looking for a jeans in a lighter weight with the same level of craftsmanship these might fit the bill. Of course, there are the new 1220 that are still appealing.

simon miller denim is 13oz. the price should not only reflect the actual denim weight, but also the dying technique. For 220 I´d rather buy a pair of levis 510xx or spend the extra 50 on a TW or a pair of Ande Whalls.

I remember being extrememly excited about my first pair from SE, my Imperial dukes. Now, in retrospect, what the fuck was I thinking????? I am not 100% disappointed with them, however, I'd much rather have gotten 3001's or F310's or the 05's (that was around the time I bought the dukes). And my samurais…Shiiiiiitttttttt... Dukes felt like silk compared to 19oz of rock hard weave. Alas, but I still have a Very large spot in my heart for my evisu's of old. Haha, Simon was probably in the 8th grade when I got em. Hahahaha

At Lake Merritt again on this beautiful Saturday Oakland morning…my hair is growing back (Beats and dead)...my hair grows super fast. You'd think I take pregnancy pills or something.
I can't resist dogs as you know. Teeny, weeny ones adore Lacy. Look at the size difference between this minuscule creature I bumped into during my morning Lake Merritt walk – and Lacy ! Lacy is a gentle giant...she's very kind to all creatures great and small.
