We seasoned players, what are our reactions:

I think the likelihood of them being extremely uncomfortable is high. That said, having the custom measurements option is very appealing, because I could make the right combo of oversized hip/thigh/back rise that would make something this heavy wearable.

Congrats to anyone who buys and consistently wears these. Personally, I have no interest. I'm at the point in my denimhead life where super heavy isn't enough to spark my interest. If the brand was known for making a fantastically constructed product, like IH, I would take a longer look.

Looks like Chinese made denim and construction. But probably the construction couldn't be any worse than the NF 32oz. But the price is much cheaper than NF.

I am pretty sure it is from China, @Filthy.
I hate to echo what a lot of you are saying. I wore my XHS today and couldn't think of wanting something heavier.

If IH made a 32oz, I would try it. I've just been burned by other denim brands so many times that I'm just about done trying. I can always trust the quality of IH, and that they won't make something unless it's practical.

@Giles : Yeah production takes place in Thailand.
Isn't N&F working on a 40oz denim?I'm with @BloodnThunder : heavy denim for the sake of heavy denim is nothing that peaks my interest.

Once upon a time I mentioned to Haraki that another Japanese brand was coming out with a 21oz denim. His response went along these lines:
"So what? I'm not interested or concerned. Making heavy denim is one thing, making it well, having it function as desired and having it be wearable and comfortable is where the skill lies"
-
I'm not sure I'll ever go past 21oz, personally. If it's cold enough to feel like I need a heavier jean, jeans may not be appropriate, and if they are, I can always throw on some long underwear.
Being heavy isn't IH's cachet IMO. Making wearable, durable, heavy, timeless/classic clothes is (even though they've proven to be good at making normal-weight clothes too).

When we had to do a product recall on the original IHSH-101 a few years back, the response we had from our customers made me completely reevaluate what Iron Heart is all about. The next time I saw H, I said, Let's change "We don't do light" to "We don't do crap". It was that whole experience of realising how much our customers appreciated our quality and construction, and not necessarily heavy-weight, that spawned the 14oz denim…..

I remember that, and the response so well. I was pretty new here and was impressed both by the manouver and the forum response to it (with one or two exceptions [emoji23]).
It’s the double whammy of quality and transparency in connection with customers then. The goods are one thing but without the customer service they are still only half the package.

I'm in the same predicament. The heaviest denim I own are the 22oz Pronto jeans which I got off the BST and it's unlikely i'll go above that. 14oz denim suits me year round and I'll simply wear thermal underwear when it gets cold.
