Will do, I’ll drop them an email. Cheers @Anesthetist

I'm bracing myself to buy the Gordo Pequeno, but I have a couple of questions (I want to be sure as it is a lot of money to me)

My size is out of stock, when would you expect to get a restock?

Also what are the size of the links, is difficult to tell. Looking at this Good Art video, the Gordo looks very substantial but when I look at photos it seems smaller. @Anesthetist was that a Gordo in the photos you helpfully provided.

Thanks for providing the photos much appreciated

Cheers much appreciated

I was wondering what the clasp mechanism is and how it works. Could it come loose over time?

Hi,

Could you post some pictures of the clasp mechanism.

Yeah I thought about the risk of hemming and then them ending up too short after washing/soaking, that's why I got them hemmed an inch longer than normal. I think you're right, i think I got about half an inch shrinkage in the leg

I listened to all the comments and decided to give them a warm soak. The jeans were a bit loose on the waist and a little too long in the leg. I bought them at Rivet and Hide, and got them hemmed to a 33", my normal inside leg is 32". The tagged waist was 33"

The jeans are now a perfect fit on my waist, they a still a bit long on the leg but I think they will stack ok since they are slim jeans.

I'm glad I did the soak in the end.

Thanks for all the info. @Kasi Those jeans look amazing.

I was planning to wear them a few weeks then give them a cold soak. Any thoughts, good idea or not necessary?

Just got my first pair of Ironheart jeans. I thought I may as well go big or go home. 25oz are the heaviest denim I've owned. Have had 21oz Unbranded and 22oz Naked and Famous Elephant 6's.

Really struggled with the buttons, now have a sore thumb. Waist button was the worst.

Worth it, these are built to last

Hi,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you. Would this be classed as a special order. I'm asking as being in the UK getting to a physical store is tricky. Also what would be the cost?

Thanks for the info. I'll try it on a non-obvious part of the boot just to test it out

Hi,

Is Obenauf LP OK to use on Chomexcel leather? I've just bought a pair of Redwings 3180 and want to use the correct treatment for them? Has anyone got any experience with this type of leather?

Thanks

I think people in the EU would be happy to pay that extra cost per item, as Obenaufs LP is virtually impossible to get in Europe.

Oh man, I've just paid over the odds buying an 8oz tub from the US.

About 18cm in new money. I have very thin wrists.

Hi,

Can you tell me the length of this bracelet.

I must have this bracelet.

Thanks

Hi,

This looks so cool, the clasp is different class.

Can you describe the differences between the AAA, AA, A, B, C, & D models. Is it the length, or are there other differences.

Any chance of side by side photographs of the different models.

Thanks

Hi @sabergirl,

I was a bit disappointed with the construction, I do like flat-felled seams on the inside of the leg. The stitching was a bit squiggly in some places. Also front pockets are a bit strange, quite wide, the coin pocket seems to cause a strange fold just above it.

I got them in the Weird Guy fit, and in retrospect I should have gone for the smaller size. I'm also not a massive fan of tapered jeans, they tend to bunch up at the knees.

I do like the denim, I have had broken twill jeans before but in a much lighter weight, but I have not had enough time to get a lot of wear in them.

There is a good post on reddit which shows more worn in pair.
