For clarification, this belt. It is a holy grail of a teacore belt.

@weftyarn can I get an ID on that teacore black belt?? Looks fantastic. The brown patina coming through is perfect. Need one!

Sent you a message. Thanks!!

Oh nice, yeah that is gonna be on the border of workable. I usually like a 29.5 inch inseam. I’ll watch em though.

Looking for the 21 oz 888 fade to grey in size 32! Thanks!

Yeah makes sense! I decided to pass! I realistically probably need a 32 from looking at models sizes on iron hearts retailers in combo with the measured sizes.

I’m 167, 5’9” and usually like a 16.5-17 inch waist if lower rise. 16ish can work if higher. I’m usually more limited by the thigh. Need 12.2ish and can’t taper too strongly - 2 inches down from crotch I need at least 11.5.

Really want to try this black 21 oz and don’t love the low rise of my 777s so I was trying to make this work! Too often times though I’ve made the too tight of a thigh mistake! Waist is forgiving. Thighs are not.

Guess I’ll wait till the restock this fall and keep fading my 14 oz 777s for now!

@goosehd yeah, I’ve looked at the measurement charts. They’re all fine except waist as I said - so just looking for the real world appreciated stretch in the waist.

Hi!

I’ve got a pair of size 33 14 oz bb 777s that fit great other than too low a rise for my taste. I found a new without tags pair of 21 oz black 888s in size 31. The waist is small but everything else looks good. Should I buy? Will they fit?

My size 33 777 have an advertised measured waist of 34. These 888s are a 31. But should hit higher… I’ve also heard these gain a lot in the waist from stretch…

@Oaktavia also looks like this thing is armor. not seeing anything even close to a hole despite all the high contrast fades.

@Oaktavia I hope iron heart gives you huge discounts because it’s these fades that got me hooked. This jacket is legendary. Glad to have gotten one while I still could!

I’d say the fit is spot on. Just need to hem em now.

I’m glad I had some patience. I did my classic technique of some lunges, some warm shower water while wearing them, more lunges, tight belt to hold them up, wear them until they dry on my body, more lunges, and wear em for 12 hours. Now they fit like a glove. That perfect quarter inch pinch of extra fabric in the thighs.

Despite the tight weave, these are actually stretchier than they first appeared.

I will say that what is nice about the shorter back rise is they are less prone to diaper butt. Some other brands (RGT strong taper) are perfect on first wear but the typical 1 inch stretch in the seat results in terrible back sag.

Love midrise… low rise needs to die in 2012.

Just got a pair of these on Grailed. The seat and the back rise are pretty tight. The thighs are slim but doable. Mostly just the plumber crack issue. Do these have some stretch in these areas over time?? I like black denim in particular very slim. Looks slicker. But the difference between slim and too tight especially in raw denim is literally a quarter inch sometimes.

Woah boys. Just got my 140 IG in. Ever more insane in person as predicted. The sea of dark blue is filled with specks of electric blue. And yeah those copper buttons make the jacket. Also love rolling up my sleeves and the grey weft is a beauty.

The jacket is no joke. I mostly wear neppy & slubby soft jackets. See: oni secret denim, RGT cryptic denim, mister freedom awa ai. The 20 oz secret denim is pajamas soft. This def has some of that sharp cardboard feeling in the elbows. Will require some break in! Really makes me wonder what the LHT feels like because this is a stiff boy out of the gates.

Sizing is fantastic. It’s a bit tight in my belly. But I’m trying to lose 10 pounds right now so I’m not surprised.

For anyone snooping to figure out their size: I am 69 inches, 170 pounds currently, 41 inch chest. I got a size 38. I like slim fits and usually just wear tees under my denim jackets. 40 would fit fine likely if I wanted a looser fit or planned on wearing it with flannels/hoodies/sweatshirts.

Here are some awful pictures that will sell exactly 0 people on buying this jacket.

Just couldn’t let this one go. It. Is so wild compared to other iron heart jackets… a classic design made ultra wild with the dark stitching, cinch back, and copper buttons. Such a beauty with attention to retro and subtle modernity.

Just ordered mine! Can’t wait… even though I have an Oni kabuki secret denim type 3, pale rider, mister freedom awa ai campus blouse & mister freedom Randall I should be wearing…. The obsession is real.

Definitely comparing apples to oranges here, but should I go for this guy or wait for a lefty type 3?

I’ve been eyeing this since the release. It’s special. The minimal contrast other than the copper off the shelf pops. And it appears to be a pretty fast fader with high contrast fades.

The lefty type 3 which won’t likely come out until at least the spring. And I hear that it’s a real bear to wrangle. It eventually is beautiful. But not easy getting there.

What do y’all think that have both?? I’m looking for unique and honeycomb for days.
