Nice work @ Jercules. Mine have about a year of wear and 1 wash

Here is my pair similar fades in the back pocket. Mine is the older v2 version but same fabric.

All feel different and have very different Characteristics. The 16oz slb is the most breathable. The 19 is a left hand twill and unsanforized. Its stiffer and more rigit with great fade pottential. The 14 oz is a nice all year weight. Then you have the 25oz heavy but softens up beautifully with wear and fades very nicely. You have the 18 with vintage fades, the 17oz with natural indigo. They all feel different, fade different so at the end of the day it is a matter of preference and variety.

My daily tool watch.

An easy test of mobility is the overhead squat. Load is not important. If you can overhead squat an empty bar with full depth, ample thoracic extension and heels on the ground you are generally in good shape. It will expose limitations at the upper back, hips and ankle.

My experience was different. I was expecting the 25oz 634 to be difficult to wear in the beginning and alot of forum members were having a hard time button them up. Never for me. They felt pretty comfy by day 2. My 634 leftie v2 still gives me hard time to button the top button after 2 years of wear. Its interesting how we all have our own personal experiences.

That looks great @MassiveThighs. Never go by tag size. Learn the measurements that fit you well and go by those. You will get consistent and better fit all the time and avoid all the back and forth hassle associated with returns.

Sizing down definitely fixes it. It happens to me also when the waist is slightly big and inhave to crank the belt. That makes it even worse.

Are you still considering them? @sabergirl

Is sizing on those similar to the 634s?

My opinion is yes. You should go same tag size. In the size chart looks like you can go to tag 31 but this denim will shrink and it's too heavy of a fabric to be tight.

Nice one G!

The 21oz is sanforized and once washed.Shrinkage will be minimal if any. Wear them and when is time to wash see if they shrunk any and then hem. None of my 21oz pairs have shrunk

Very nice choice, sizing looks spot on. They will not shrink so don't expect to loose an inch in the inseam. Welcome to the forum

The 555 is an option as long as you clear handle the slim leg and taper to the knee. They have the tightest knee measurement than any other iron heart cut. The cool thing about the 888 is that you can sizedown and still have good leg room. If the waist fits you on the 888 you will have no issue anywhere else.

The best advice I can give you is, measure both pairs the Iron Heart way and then compare the measurements to the 888 chart for the tag size that you are looking into getting. The Iron Heart size chart are very accurate. You can always email the Iron Heart crew and they can find you an 888 with your ideal measurements or as close as.possible.

@m4xime . I don't know how the 3Sixteen fits but the PBJ xx013 is miles different from the 888. The PBJ is must slimer though out the whole leg for the same tag size. Also the xx013 has a lowish rise... The 888 is also looser fitting than the xx019 also which is PBJ version of a higher rise taper.

If you are a 634/33/888 guy the 1955 will work also. It has a high rise like the 888 and maybe a bit higher and the taper is similar to the 633 I think, as the knee measurement of the 1955 is wider than the 888.
