I waffled, Waited and now L and XL out of of stock. Gahh!!

Perhaps I missed it; are there stockists carrying this shirt? Maybe I can try there?

As I search for my next pair (and my first Iron Heart), I come and see the fades from @Oaktavia and that's about all anyone needs on whether to buy or not. Impressive!

Much appreciated, fellas. Thank you! I'm now even more stoked on this denim.

A bit of a n00b question here, so please bear with me...

I'm on my first part of 21oz SBGs. Specifically, a pair of 633 from Self Edge. I'm stoked on the weight and the unique feel. They've quickly become my favorite new pair.

To the point; dye transfer and specifically, crocking. Is SBG denim subject to color transfer like the indigo denim? On a pair of light-colored leather boots, should I expect some crocking with my 633s?

@sabergirl Oh, nice! Self Edge is in my town, though I've not yet been to that location. I'll give that cut a look. Thank you!

@Bobcat-Sig Have you looked at the 666 cut? Smaller hem opening versus the 634. Gotta watch the thigh measurement with the 666 though.

The cut number alone has my attention. I do remember looking at it, though I likely wasn't sure and kept wading through the cuts and their measurements. I'll give it another look. Thank you,

Will do. Thank you!

I'm glad I found this thread. I've been lurking for a good while, trying to determine which cut should be my first pair of Iron Heart denim. I've been looking at each cut and have been left a little bewildered though undeterred.

I'm hoping the faithful and knowledgeable denim heads here can recommend my next pair. it would join three IH shirts.

First, I'll start with what I like with fits and then measurements important to me. In the eight or so pairs of raw denim I've gathered over the last few years, I find that a full top block suits my athletic mid-section. (and my backside, to which my wife constantly reminds me of how much she likes it). I take this to mean that mid to full rise suits me better because there's enough fabric up top and out back to cover the ol' pamplemousse. So I've interpreted this to mean that nearly all slim and skinny cuts won't work.

Measurements for me tend to come in well around 11-ish inches front rise and a 15-ish back rise. The waist is usually 33 to 34.5, depending on the denim. This usually puts in tags 31 and 32 for many brands and probably a 33 tag for most Iron Heart cuts.

I'm mostly a boot guy when it comes to selvage denim and I've come to like an ~8-ish inch opening. A little less if I'm wearing cowboy boots and a little more if the boots are chunkier. And I've found a knee of about 8 to 9 inches to be a sweet spot; 8 if it's a cowboy cut and 9 inches for a proper straight cut.

The 634 looks like it could be a contender, but it sports a bigger knee and hem of 9.5 and 9.2, respectively. That seems a little big to me. The 777 looks to slim things up just enough in the knee and opening. Is that my jam? Then there's the 888...

Am I thinking about all this correctly? Or, more likely, am I overthinking it?

And lastly, I intend on either the 25 oz or 21/23 oz because full send!

@Denimhead-0 That looks really good! FIt looks great, too. I'm always on the fence between L and XL. Which size did you go with?

@JoshC Terrific, thank you. Self Edge has a storefront nearby, so that may be go-to. I appreciate the reply.
