Some new to me 555s along side my own pair of five year old 555s. Loving both for different looks, different events, different fades too

I just got my pair through the post from R&H yesterday. I think I first considered these as a potential option for work a couple of years ago (maybe 3) so they’re something of a grail purchase for me and wow, they are something else. Sized up one from my 555s and they’re perfect. I have had chinos from a few different brands over the years and always associate chinos as a soft sort of laundered fabric almost fluffy/moleskin/twill depending on the brand but to call these simply chinos is, I think, a disservice to them (but isn’t that kinda always the way with this IH gear? It’s never just a pair of jeans/shirt/jacket; it’s always something extra, aknots intangible and of the utmost excellence). There is definitely the cut and pockets etc that you’d expect from a chino, but the fabric is more akin to a work pant like dickies or carhartt but with a lustre and comfort that puts those others in the shade. And obvs they are bulletproof in terms of construction and hardware and then that spicy wee flash of selvage. Delicious.

Just a guy with impeccable taste in jeans

Spotted Dan Auerbach of the black keys rocking what looked like some sbg but wasn’t sure of the model. And his belt looked like IH too.

Thanks Alex

Any idea of a restock or any other stockists who might have some stock left of these bad boys?

Apologies if this has been asked already or covered in the live launch, but are there any plans to bring this fabric to denims?

Thank you for all your input dudes. I think a few people have hit the nail on the head with prices. The J35 or Real McCoys j100 are about the same and I get the impression that if I can get the sizing right, one of them will be an incredible investment whereas the Belstaff might be a bit more ‘fashionable’. If I’m honest, I feel the fit was decent but the fact it has the emblem on the sleeve is a little…ostentatious maybe?

Guys, keen to find out what people think of Belstaff leather jackets in terms of quality etc. tried one on yesterday and was quite impressed but haven’t been lucky enough to see an IHJ35 in the flesh to compare…

So I’m in the mood for trying 25oz. Currently have 555s and sbg in 31 and 30 respectively both of which fit pretty well and I love. The S are a little looser overall but nothing especially noticeable or crazy. My question is, do I size up for XHS and opt for the 32 (which, according to size charts, my 555S seem to match pretty closely in the waist etc as they are now) to account for shrinkage and to cope with the extra heft of the fabric, or is it better to stick to 30/31 as my sbg and s are respectively. Below are some recent pics of my 555S for reference. Also, the uhf is my first and it’s a thing of beauty.

Workin’ hard or hardly workin’

Pretty sure his son Nile is into IH too.

I love this. It’s great to hear that some folk are as decent as they seem. A stylish gent and guitar wizard.

The one and only Johnny Marr rocking Iron Hearts

Unbelievable

That’s impressive! How long did they last? 4 years?

Thanks Adam.weirdly, I think it was you who I dealt with back then! You were correct - I was not disappointed

Inspired by all the great shots on here, I thought I would opt for black today. Bought these back in September 2018. At that time I had never seen any iron heart in person but when I tore open that parcel from ihuk and these came out, I knew I had something special. Incredible fabric that has just aged fantastically well; amazingly solid construction that means they feel as solid today as they did on day one; and a cut that was new to me (the higher rise and a slim without being skinny leg) but against which all other cuts will be compared to forever more.
