First wear on Dec 1st ‘22. Probably 275 wears since and 6 or 7 washes.

Is there a proper way to cut off chainstitch runoff?  Is anything going to unravel if I just lop if off?

Just picked up my first pair of Iron Hearts.  Really liking them so far.  I had them send me essentially 1 of each fit and added the 634s in 21oz at the last minute, thinking that I wouldn't like them but I might as well give them a try.  I'm really glad that I did because the others are all going back and the 634s are keepers.  I'm excited to see how they fade over the next couple of years.

For a less touristy offroad experience in Sedona, I highly recommend checking out Barlow Jeep Rentals.  The town of Jerome is also a great place to go visit for a day.

@Giles:

I cant remember the last time a US customer had to pay any import duty.  We can't guarantee that you won't but we are pretty good at making sure it does not happen…..

Thanks.  I just placed an order.

Hi Everybody,
I'm new here and looking to buy my first pair of Iron Hearts.  I've been wearing a pair of Freenote Cloth Trabucos for this past year that I really like.  They're 14.5 oz and very slow faders. I'd like to try something heavier in 2023.  Looking at the measurement charts, it looks like either the 666 or the 634 might be a good fit.  If it makes any difference, I typically wear cowboy boots.  I'm thinking of starting with the 21oz.

What I'd like to do is order a few pairs to try on and then send back the ones that don't work.  I'm a little nervous about the $800 import duty-free limit here in the USA.  What happens when you go over $800?  What's the duty rate?  Also, does anybody have a ballpark idea of what it costs to ship jeans back to the UK?

Thanks!
