IRON HEART WAYWT - 2024 EDITION

@AdamJ I suspect I’ve forgotten more lot numbers than most people know, but it bugged me that I couldn’t remember that one. It really is a great vest. Weren’t many made of I recall correctly. Couple of each size?
It’s one of those IH pieces that does the exact opposite of most other IH pieces. Just looks exactly the same no matter how much abuse it gets. Brilliant.

634-SBG vs 666-XHSib. Having trouble deciding which cut looks best for me.
-
@dinobarnesberlin Correct! Not what it once was, but still a good sandwich.
Today…
IH-721 ST-Chinos- Khaki.

@bluemantra I think the 666 cut,being a little bit slimmer,looks better on you.

@jaliskoe used to be my favorite place back in the day!
used to live in Pomona for years. And their prices were good.
I though that front looked familiar..do they still have the big Tony's sign in the parking lot?
good memories. -
@bluemantra 666 in my opinion, but between these two in particular it is not necessarily always the case, it always depends a lot on the measurements of each individual model/fabric or stock, but above all the one you feel most comfortable with and like best is always the best choice.
-
@bluemantra another vote for the 666
-
@bluemantra assuming your asking for opinions, I'd agree with the consensus and prefer the 666. However, to add to what @Luijim78 said, the 666 and 634 are often interchangeable depending on measurements and denims, and whether or not you size up or down. For me a sized down 634 in a cut with a little more room, or a denim that stretches readily, will achieve a great fit. This comes in handy for me personally as the fascist thigh measurements of some 666's conflict with my chonk.

@bluemantra I’m going with the 634. They both look great though …
-
@flannel-slut cheers so pleased with it.

@bluemantra I agree with the sentiment that the 666 can have a nice sleekness to it, but I eventually moved to 634 after several pairs of the former due to comfort, and fwiw we have fairly similar builds. The main thing for me was that the slightly lower rise of the 666 puts them more on my hips, and it made me lose a little mobility — try raising your legs to the side and see if it does the same to you. Not the end of the world, but a bit annoying. When I first put on a pair of 634, I let out an “ahhhhhh.” Plus like Neph said, the thighs can be a bit too snug in a slim straight, so I really enjoy the extra room there.
TL;DR they both look great and are pretty damn similar visually, so I’d go by feel.

Happy Friday

@Tago-Mago I guess that means you have capacity to pick up something else. I think I’m done for shirts until FW24 (excepting non-seasonal sneakiness from the guys in Gosport).
-
@Tago-Mago good choice!
