@madmoses Kiya said over in /r/rawdenim sometime next week.

Edit: Disregard, Kiya beat me to it and with a more specific timeline.

@Chad Great first purchase!  IMO the IHSH-99 is iconic Iron Heart, and the IHSH-178 seems to be a perfect continuation if not improvement on the design.

Awesome, I had completely forgotten about this until the email popped into my inbox.  Was bummed I had missed the IHSH-99, this looks like an amazing replacement.  Ordered.

Any news on the 18oz. Vintage denim run of this?

I hot soaked my DCTs for a couple hours and they shrunk about an inch.

Good . I will soak hems again and hope to shrink .5

Thank you

So I'm guessing you mean "I will soak them again" but just in case I'm going to take you literally.  Don't soak just the hems, you need to soak the entire jean if you expect to get that shrinkage.  The entire jean needs to shrink in length.

I don't have much really on the surface of them, so don't feel the need for a machine level wash. I threw some soap in the soak to help break up anything else and freshen them some. I really just needed them to shrink back though

See I call that a hand wash, no soap=soak.

Alright I love my SIIs, but you clearly really love your SIIs  Nizzel.  Then again, I probably would too if mine looked like yours.

Hot soaking mine as we speak, fit was damn good presoak but I prefer to get all the shrink out before starting.  The arcs are even more beautiful in person, possibly my favorite arcs all time, and the patch is awesome.  They have the same almost black color as my SIIs did at the start, can't wait to see how the heavier denim and cone dyed weft impacts fades after a year.

Side note @Giles the DCT cut sure seems to be going faster than the DCS(666) cut…I would love to see more denim in this fit.

Not my call….It's a Pronto cut.

Too bad but makes sense…won't stop me from hassling you now and then for a size 32 with a 12"+ thigh though
