IH-666S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Brandrea]

Admittedly I’m only 2 years into Iron Heart denim, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I always buy true to size and never size down with stretching out the waist in mind. I know many / most here see an inch or more of stretch in a lot of their jeans but honestly I have not.

I guess if you buy them to fit true to size right out of the gate, why would they stretch at all (if they’d not under a lot of tension).

Anyway I’m 7 pairs in (666 and 634 cuts - 21oz, 14 oz, 16oz slub and left hand twill). I don’t see any significant stretch in any of them but again YMMV.

Thanks for the insight guys

The problem with going tts or sizing up and trying to shrink is the dreaded diaper butt look with excess material everywhere. TTS works if the fit is a match for your shape, but if it doesn’t looks imo horrible. Sizing up and trying to shrink the hell out of it never looks as good as if you just got the right pair of jeans the first time.

It’s the main reason that I recommend the IH crew (shop@ironheart.co.uk) every time to avoid costly mistakes.

[goosehd]

…and to further complicate the equation. Sizing is dependent on so many variables with one of them being the material used for the pant. Some easily stretch (slubs) whilst some have none (whipcord) and quite a few in between. All of this needs to be considered when buying a new pant and to go TTS or sizing down slightly.

Trust the guys at IHUK to guide you in the right direction.

@goosehd This is a very good point about diaper butt. I have also discovered finding the right cut is important to avoiding the diaper butt look.

I am currently waiting for the crew to get back to me. Thanks everyone. lots of food for thought.

My sons 19th birthday today and his first pair of IH, couldn't be happier with the fit. Doesn't he look great? He will join in for the party in september.

Grabbed a pair of 777, they look great on me but tight around the upper thigh area (you know where lol) I seen measurements on 666 have a larger rise, but the thigh measurement is the same (actually smaller on some fabrics). So question, is 666 just higher rise, or does the extra rise also make the top block feel more open vs the 777?

[yannis]

By top block I assume you are talking around the hip area. If thats the case i am not sure if the 666 is roomier than a 777. The 666 has definitely a higher rise but its still a slim top block. Now below the thigh around 3 or so inches below the croch the 666 will be wider as it doesn't taper to the knee as much. Its more of a slim straigt cut

[jocuz07]

@yannis yeah, more or less talking about the family jewels/ upper thigh area. So sounds like it will be just the same but higher up on waist. Got it!

[pechelman]

from the couple of 777's ive tried on, its lower rise really exacerbates the room in that area you're talking about for me, especially when bending or sitting. Otherwise, I have no problem in 666's, just keep an eye on the thigh dimension as you note.

@pechelman +1

Love 666

Can't go near / get into 777.

Started with the trucker jacket. I feel like it's the coolest jacket I've ever had. It didn't take long before I got curious about the jeans.

At first I wanted to check out a pair from an other brand in 21oz and maybe save some dough. The ones I looked at were made here in Canada and
I thought it was cool they eventually turn red as they wear down. After trying on, my leags felt like they were getting rubbed by thick sandpaper. Getting em off was like taking off the driest wetsuit ever. Not for me. nonono! I'm used to much thinner stretchy jeans. I still wanted good thic denim. The shop carried ironheart too and had my size in 634 and 666. Trying on both, I really liked the fit and they felt way softer. Much more comfortable too. Ended up getting the 666 because they looked and fit a bit better on me.

(not the weirdest selfie I've taken but def up there)

The Shop hemmed for me and gave me a bit more length to allow for shrinkage. I've never cuffed my jeans before but don't mind the look actually. They're too long to not cuff so I guess that's a good thing.

It's Only my second day wearing em but it's been 2 very good days haha. They feel like armour and I really dig that. The Devil's armour. Easily the coolest pair of jeans I've ever had!
