IH-888S-21od - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - OD'd

@lionheart In the big picture there is no right nor wrong pair of Ironhearts and I like to think of it like buying your first car. There’s a ton of choices to pick from, all of them will be great, they will always hold a special place in your heart, and you will most likely end up buying more.

The key thing in your decision process is deciding what traits you are looking for and it seems like you are well on your way. The guys at the IHUK shop are really good at helping you on that journey and are more than willing to help. Drop them an email: shop@ironheart.co.uk or even try chatting with them during business hours on the sales chat feature.

Good luck as it’s a fun journey

@goosehd @DeeDee85 thank you both a ton. That all makes sense and glad to hear there isn't really a "bad" one to stay away from. I had - admittedly, mostly fit related - some issues with my first and only foray into this space, so just a little fixated on getting the "right" pair the second time around.

I did had some conversations with the sales team already, and agreed - they're a super helpful bunch. Like you said though, it's all about personal preferences though so at the end of the day it's about what I'm looking for?

I think the 14oz is the rational choice, the 21oz is tempting because it's the flagship and has certain... qualities that people seem to be raving about... the 17oz natural indigo is a bit of a wildcard. I may ask the natural indigo folks for some of their experiences as well.

Much, much appreciated!

@lionheart I just started wearing the 17n and love the feel and look of the fabric and colour of the indigo.

The 16oz slubs are in my opinion the most breathable denim IH makes.

The 18oz are my favourite denim in weight, fades, and breathability.

The 17oz natural may be a close second to those 18oz and dare say could replace the 18’s as my favourite denim. Time will tell.

The 21oz and 25oz feel like sweatpant softness with time and wear. Really comfortable out of the bag and you can’t go wrong with the 21oz. Great starting point in the IH lineup.

I have no experience with the 14oz and at this point can’t help there.

Hi, will there be a restock anytime soon? I need dark/ black jeans for a wedding coming up soon:)

[Alex]

Should be pretty soon, yes

[Arvid]

@Alex thanks for your reply. Excuse me asking, but do you think that will be somewhere next week? I will need it before December the 12th Otherwise I might need to look for something else:(

[Alex]

No, thats very unlikely I am afraid

[xiwrestledabear]

@Alex any chance these will restock next month? I’m hoping to be able to use a pair for the 2025 indigo invitational.

[Alex]

Hopefully, but not 100% sure

Thanks! I went for it - got the last pair at SENY - and will let y'all know how it goes. No regrets, this is an incredible piece.

Quick update for anyone who'd like to know how these stretch out:
13" right thigh after 1 day of wear
13.5" right thigh after a few months of wear

Overall - These fit wonderfully. As many have noted, these get a lot less stiff over time. Mega comfy, great cut. For sure my favorite pair.

@ajp5103 this denim is velvety soft! My first ever pair of IH jeans. I quickly moved to XHS and that took me on a multi year odyssey. But I’ve been pulling these out again a lot more and love them so much. Often IH denim is described as being like sweatpants once they are nicely broken in. In my experience, none are more like sweatpants than 21ozOD!

I should post an update sometime soon. Though the fades on these are rather subtle.
