@Bailey Any more clarity on if we might see these released this month?

The Japanese have been off for NY, so we havent had any updates at all since pre Christmas, but we had nothing of note then

I just got my first really heavy pair of IH delivered, and I love them. I gave them a hot soak, and they are surprisingly comfy. I'm a 54-year old slightly tubby dude, looking for honest feedback. I like to both cuff and stack jeans, but do I need to hem these a bit? Are the stacks too much? Thanks!

[goosehd]

@IronFart For me yes, and I would hem them. However, everyone is different and it depends on how you envision the jeans fading down the road. Look at different fade pictures and see what appeals to you. Multiple tight stacks, honeycomb, and creases would be a reason to keep them at their current length.

Edit: @Filthy2123ozjunkie used to have big fat cuffs on his jeans and they always looked great on him. Experiment with them and have fun.

[IronFart]

@goosehd -- thanks so much for the quick response! I think I'll just keep wearing them for now to see how they fall after more wear. Then I'll probably take a least an inch off.

Good grief but these jeans are amazing! The problem with wearing something like this is that I never want to go back to my cheaper lighter jeans. I may need to move somewhere cold so I can keep wearing them all year.

I love cuffs… and stacks as a matter of fact. I’m only 5’9 although I am nearing shrinking age and I never hem. Of course this is strictly a matter of taste. If you want to know how they look from someone who likes stacks and cuffs then I’d say they look great. Don’t touch them.

If you want to stick with cuffing, here's a list of cuffs you could play around with. https://www.okayamadenim.com/blogs/news/5-ways-to-cuff-your-jeans-with-boots.

@IronFart I think they look great on you, you could even make bigger cuffs and they would look great too. Congratulations, great choice

[SKT]

@IronFart I like em as is and as @Luijim78 says you could make the cuffs a hair bigger to take up some of the length.

Also, @Matt can I steal “near shrinking age”? May make it my signature

[Matt]

Be my guest.

[IronFart]

You lot are the best. Thanks for all the feedback. I'm wearing them this morning for some garden work. Hoping the more physical activity they get the quicker they'll fit to my body shape.

I’m a cuffer too. Been doing it so long that whenever I occasionally try to wear some uncuffed, usually in an effort to picture what it’d be like to get some hemmed for a change, it just feels wrong on me. Of course I see lots of people with hemmed jeans that look great, so obviously do what you feel, but I think yours look cool cuffed!

@louisbosco noice dude lookin' fantastic with these fades. MAN I love XHS.

[louisbosco]

cheers mate. amazing how they are super soft once worn in..

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco for sure man, I just finished a year long stint with a pair of 634XHS in October. They are amazing then fully broken in.

[bluemantra]

@Oaktavia have you done any fading projects on the IH 21 oz?

[Oaktavia]

@bluemantra yes I had a pair of 555 21oz but grew out of them and ended up selling them.

[louisbosco]

@Oaktavia I’m keeping these on rotation while I wear kaptial’s century denim this year. Might go back to the uhr next year

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco nice dude that's awesome
