Hello

I just received my very first pair of IH jeans - 4 days from order to delivery to West Australia - very good service, thanks.

They're in the tub now as I type for their first soak.

Will have to get them hemmed though, the length of these babies is insane!  I'm 5'8" and I think I'll have to get 4" off and still have room to cuff them.

Thanks again for the great service.

^Do the double or triple cuff :). Check out GingerMagican above, they look great as a double

[stefango]

Hi Snowy, yes you're right, I will be doing a double. It does look cool.

[Snowy]

Good work. Look forward to seeing a fit pic

[stefango]

Here are my fit pics after their first soak and the jeans being hemmed - went with a double cuff.  May do another hotter soak to get the 666S's to shrink a little more. Think I prefer them a little more snug.

That's very close to the fit I got out of mine after two hot soaks and a hot wash  :-\ its not a bad fit but just not what I was wanting out of this cut

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That's a great fit!
But I understand tatmantall, if I hear "super slim tapered" I have something else in my mind. But maybe that's also personal preference or expactations

[joesaintjohn]

Dude, I love that fit. It seriously has a really great vintage look to it. Looks freaking great. I do understand what tatmantall is saying, though. If you were wanting a super slip tapered look, that's not quite it.

Fit looks good to me!

[Pbains1]

Great fit.

[Finn666]

echoing the guys above…great fit on those 666s mate!

[stefango]

The 666S fit me fine, I'm very happy with them.  However, a little more snug wouldn't hurt before they really start to stretch and mould to my shape.

And man - being my first thick (≥18oz) selvedge denim jeans - do they take some getting used to! 

Very happy, can see myself getting more Iron Heart.

My thoughts echo JSJ's. Now go enjoy em!

[tatmantall]

If anyone is having trouble with not enough shrinkage in the new batch….

I decided to give these a second HOT WASH before putting them up on EBay ( I figured I was going to be losng money on them anyway...) SOOOO... they now fit much better in the top box.. The waist band is still just a hair larger than I would prefer to start off with but would eventually end up there anyway i'm just used to quite a bit of pain my first week or so stretching my jeans... the most important part for me is how it hugs my crotch, rearend, and thighs and it is about as spot on as I could hope for now!

Long story short... These are no longer up for sale

[Finn666]

great to hear buddy! congrats

Hey guys, looking into the 666s as my first Iron Heart jeans.  My last pair of jeans were the Japan Blue JB0701 in size 31.  I like the fit and all on those but the thigh is way too tight, even after a full year of wear they didn't stretch out like I thought.  I really like the fit of the 666s and I've heard great things about the denim, but was wondering if a size 32 in these would be better for me.  I've been comparing Self Edge's measurements and the measurements on here and have gotten confused.  I wish this place had a pair in 31 and 32 so I could exchange if 31 is too tight for me.  I've compared with some of my other jeans and I'm still undecided between the two sizes.  Will the thigh and waist stretch past the pre-soak measurements?

The last batch of 666 were sized incorrectly.  We updated the measurements on the IH.UK site to reflect these actual measurements.  A) SE may not have updated their measurements and We use different processes to measure our jeans, both SE and we articulate our way of measuring the jeans on the respective websites.
Re: stretch.  Yes
