Very nice! I'm sure those jackets will be snapped up (by me included).

Hey Giles, do you have any idea when I might expect to see another size small in the shop?

RE: IH-666SB - Superblack Devil's Fit
Here are some pics I took over the weekend. Sorry for the lack of detail, my only other camera is a film camera (and I needed to model with it too). The only revision I would make to my review is that the legs are definitely looser than the thighs. But I'm personally liking the straight leg effect

RE: IH-666SB - Superblack Devil's Fit
I should start off by saying that these jeans rule. These are my first iron heart jeans, although I do have the IH-526J jacket. In comparison, the 21oz indigo is softer and possibly a tad more breathable, but I can see these jeans softening up to be more comfy after a few wears.
To talk about sizing, I ordered a size 29 (I'm 5'11 and 130 lbs, so I'm fairly skinny), and I believe the size is pretty spot on. I anticipated an inch in stretching, so at the moment the waist is a little tight. But in the two wears since I've bought them they have stretched noticeably.
My previous black jeans were Nudies (don't laugh), so I wasn't expecting a fit that was quite as slim as their offerings. Boy was I wrong! These fit perfectly slim, even for my thin frame. So anyone on the fence who is looking for a true slim fit, go for it. If that's not what you're looking for, maybe consider opting for a more forgiving size.
The denim itself is what really won me. The thickness does wonders for how it drapes on the legs, it makes my previous jeans look like flimsy suit trousers! And these things are DARK. And on top of that they won't fade. Pretty bad ass.
I might have preferred black accents instead of red, but that's no bother (black sharpie can solve that). These jeans will last quite a while, so I'm happy to say I've made a worthy investment

RE: IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker. The Lefty Trucker
I'm torn between a size small in this and a medium in the regular 526J! I had the 526J in size small, but the length and sleeves were a little too short. I'm sure the small in this one would fix that issue, but I don't think I'll like the vertical fading of the lefty denim over time (and I really like the regular 21 oz). Am I overreacting? Do you guys think the denim appearance and qualities are pretty similar overall?

RE: IH-2526J - 17oz Duck Modified Type III - Brown
Oh I know all too well I'll end up ignoring one of them, so I might as well give it to a good home (and put some cash in my pocket for food ;))

RE: IH-2526J - 17oz Duck Modified Type III - Brown
Hey all! I'm craving this jacket, but I need some advice on sizing. I have the regular IH-526j in size small and it fits just right (fit pic below). Should I also get a small in the IH-2526j? I'm trying to compensate for the difference in fabric weight and the measurements provided in the store (which seem to be smaller and shorter in comparison). Thanks for any help!
P.S. that means the IH-526j has to go, for anyone interested!

RE: IH-526J Indigo 21oz Selvedge Denim Type III
Decided to join the club! I was nervous because I'm a pretty skinny guy, but I think the size small worked out perfectly. The extra thick denim really helped with the fit actually. What do you guys think?
P.S. I chose the nicest bathroom at work to take this pic
