IH-888SBR-14od - 14oz Broken Twill Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut
-
@Heavy_blue they’re pretty damn soft. But I’m too fat for them right now so I need to lose some weight to wear them lol
-
Some proper fit pics. It’s interesting to see how different the fit can turn out depending on fabric and run. These definitely run a bit slimmer through the leg than my UHR &
21Oz which compliments the fabric imo.

First signs of wear
-
@weftyarn we always seem to buy the same pants. Ever since that last post I’ve gone a low carb diet and my bloating has gone down a lot so they actually fit pretty damn good now. Can’t wait to wear these. I’ll post a fit pic soon
If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right

@trivsdotcom I went for my usual size and they’re perfect. You will absolutely love these pants. It’s the softest denim I’ve ever felt

@Choko That’s so true haha. I was literally thinking the same when I saw you in this thread too.
Glad to hear you starved yourself back into this pair! Can’t wait to see fit pics.
@trivsdotcom I also went for the same size (34) as my other 888s (21OZ & Ducks). Totally happy with the slim fit but I have to say the SBRs are the ones I could probably get away with upsizing to 35.

@Choko the things we do for denim…& health

Traveling today. These are the most comfortable pants I have from Iron Heart straight out of the bag. They almost feel like they have stretch. 100% recommend! -
Excellent @Choko
Wore mine today too -
I bought a pair of these a few weeks ago in the same waist measurements as my beloved IH-888-XHSib and they have been awful to wear. It feels like I’ve got a rash or sunburn on my stomach where the top of the jeans rest against my skin, it’s unpleasant enough that I don’t even like wearing them. There’s no visible rash or marks on my skin, but it sure feels irritated. I don’t believe it’s size related, they are almost identical to my XHS and those NEVER had issues like this.
Any ideas? I’m truly baffled. I have a ton of IH denim including an OD jacket, none of those bug me. I don’t get how these could be far less comfy than my 25oz….. -
@nrtphotos Have you given them a wash? Maybe you're sensitive to the overdye?
I have the overdyed broken twill work jacket (which is great
) and haven't had a problem, but a jacket won't have as much direct skin contact. Personally I have somewhat sensitive skin (and react to certain detergents etc), but I've never had a problem with anything from Iron Heart. -
If your size is still available, buy these jeans! Still the softest denim I own -
@Choko I just took your advice!
-
Definitely would like to document; after receiving and wearing these jeans for a few days, they are by far my most comfortable pair. -i have many of iron hearts different denims- Really looking forward to seeing if they hold up with the same durability as the standard 14oz. Really impressed with these and glad i grab a pair. Thank you Alex for you assistance and patience
-
My pair arrived and I have to agree with everyone who remarked how soft these are. Incredible fabric. The metal hardware is tarnished which I assume is a function of the over dying process. I read a few OD threads but didn’t see that discussed.
-
You are correct. The buttons get that weathered look from the overdying process. All OD models have the buttons look that way..i personally like how the buttons look.
-
I like it too. Just curious about the chemical process that tarnishes the metal.
