@Giles:

And he has been in touch with Nick at RAWR.

Cool, I look forward to seeing it. 

@Licorice:

Here's those full photos, Max. Just quick and dirty on my lunch break.

Those are probably the best fades i've ever seen. You should submit them to http://www.rawrdenim.com/ for their fade friday article. There's not enough iron heart articles on that website. Those babies would blow them away!

Mine are more noticeable than that! Yours do look out, but your right boot is also slightly angled out too.

and here's what they did to the sofa when I left the cage too close to it

Apologies for the poor quality phone pics

I've got 3 rats, looked after a friends when she went on holiday and they really grew on me. So I went out and got my own in February this year. Very clever and clean, they have an undeserved reputation. Lovely little creatures!

I'm a fan of Woodford, but Maker's Mark is still my absolute favourite. Tried Gentleman Jack the other month and that stuff is really nice, too easy to drink though, super smooth. I definitely recommend it!

I'm devastated, just took delivery of a pair of these http://store.drmartens.co.uk/p-4699-dr-martens-1460-forlife-boot.aspx and the left boots eyelets are out of alignment. Fucking left boot looks like sloth out the goonies.

Personally I'm not a fan of pastels and prefer bolder colours. Seen these a few months ago and was very tempted http://item.rakuten.co.jp/star-foot/tdp005/

An alternative, super high quality, is the Pure Blue Japan Purple face model. It fades and revelas the denim colors after a while
They make it in 14and 24 oz. great stuff

Very nice, not sure I'm man enough to pull off purple though 

They fit, I'd just like a little give for comfort. So an inch would do

@Seul:

It's not a matter of hours…

OK, but that doesn't answer the question. You talking days, weeks or months? of daily wear

Just popped my IH cherry, arrived today. Any ideas how long before they stretch a little in the waist?

Didn't have any 34's instock so I opted for 36 in the IHxB01od instead. Arrived today, jeez these bad boys are heavy. Still quite snug around the waist too, i'm looking forward to that bit of stretching. 

@Megatron1505:

Gary, are you a member of the Toon Army? If so, may I wish you a Mega welcome from a fellow supporter 

Yes, I most certainly am  :). Was a season ticket holder for 15years, now I mainly watch the games in the pub and only go to the odd match. Are you based in Newcastle?

edit, should have checked your profile first. I see you're from Nottingham are you an exiled Geordie or just appreciate good football? 

OK so I'm about to order a pair of these bad boys.
Measured my Levis 504's and these were the measurements
35.8 waist
11.7 front rise
15.3 rear rise
12.9 thigh
8.6 knee
8.2 hem

So by my calculations 36 should fit beautifully. Wish me luck peeps, I'm about to pop my ironheart cherry 

Hi All

I'm Gary 34 from Newcastle Upon Tyne. Cannot believe I've only now just found out about raw denim etc. For years I've loved jeans but hated buying them and have always made do with a pair of £10 ASDA jobbies. I'm gonna invest in a pair of ironhearts very soon, just find the sizing issue a little daunting, always have. ASDA 34/33 have always fitted and that's kinda why I've always wore em. Thought I was really getting good jeans when I recently bought 3 pairs of Levis only to then discover this whole raw denim Japanese selvedge scene. I'm ashamed really 

Anyways….. better late than never right?
