Ironheart is the king of heavweight. They don't have brutal break in. Solid construction as well. You get some nice details.

[@digitallyhandmade6727]

completely agree - what's your favorite model of iron heart jeans?

[@liljuanito123]

@@digitallyhandmade6727 21 oz 888 cut. I also have a 21oz jacket and it's gotten soft. The denim is interesting, it almost has a bit of stretch/give to it. Probably how it's weaved.

Just grabbed a new pair of Sugar Cane’s I’ll be wearing exclusively this year. Plan on getting these or the 666 in 21oz next! Excited. Great video.

[@digitallyhandmade6727]

Enjoy the Sugar Cane's! I've heard great things!

[@jasonsloan1991]

you can’t go wrong with IH just make sure you measure yourself correct and even after that add an inch

[@bsousa3837]

Rattled off some solid denim offerings. Check out Samurai jeans as well. Very subjective but for me, you can not go better than Iron Heart and Samurai jeans with Pure Blue as a close runner up.

[@digitallyhandmade6727]

Good suggestion! I will definitely check them out! Any recs for your favorite Samurai jeans?

[@jasonsloan1991]

samurai is a great jean !! but personally after thousands of dollars spent … I am going to honestly say IH takes the cake depending on your style .. if you have a rough look about yourself .. and want something that is made super solid go IH

[@roysapa-toys5332]

I’m usually a size 30 waist on a regular jeans, should i also follow that sizing for an iron heart?

[@digitallyhandmade6727]

Expect the Iron Heart to stretch between an inch and an inch and a half with wear. Most people tend to recommend sizing down to account for that stretching!

[@soccerplayer1516]

Great review! How many washes have you done with the jeans so far? My go to brand for selvedge denim is Naked and Famous. Fair prices and great fades. The Elephant heavy weight series has been awesome

[@digitallyhandmade6727]

Thanks for watching! So far, no washes. I've heard amazing things about Naked and Famous. They have so many different models too, which is also cool. I'll definitely have to take a look!

[@liljuanito123]

Their okayama spirits are amazing.

[@soccerplayer1516]

@@liljuanito123 Oh ya. I'm breaking in the Okayama Spirit 5's right now. They've been awesome so far and have been fading quick

[@liljuanito123]

@@soccerplayer1516 i guess my reply got deleted or something. I'm also doing the OS5s. Im at 33 wears.

Hey, i have a pair of samurai s710xx 19oz. Theyre not as slim as these at top block, but i still cant raise one of my leg more than 90°. Can you do that with these?

[@digitallyhandmade6727]

hey there! I am able to move really pretty freely in my Iron Heart's!

[@WelderVp]

I can't decide if I want the 25oz or 21oz. Any recommendations? They have both in my size right now

[@digitallyhandmade6727]

great question! I've only had experience with the 21oz. and absolutely love it. From what I've heard, the 25oz is stiffer and not quite as comfortable initially. I would imagine that it could yield higher contrast fades if that's what you're after. My two cents - but the 21oz is a great place to start, especially if you're new to Iron Heart. Try them, see if you like them and then you can always go back in a year or two if you still want a pari! Hopefully that helps!

[@Dickthecabguy]

21 oz the 25s are way to heavy I found them uncomfortable

[@g-shockfan6149]

25oz is great for fades. Best to get a feel for them in person before you buy it. They will feel n size differently from 21oz.

[@Mohjo99]

Omg what a GORGEOUS WATCH. Where did you get it? Would love anything like that.

[@JJJosh949]

Unrelated but where is the red Arabian carpet from?

[@digitallyhandmade6727]

Ikea, believe it or not!

[@willhuang238]

Hey man, may I ask how much do they stretch?

[@barberfabian]

Holy shit, if you’re saying you’ve had them for 2 years I’m assuming you must DEFINITELY wear them sparingly? They look like they’ve only been worn for a couple months at most lol. But hey, at least you’re gettin your money’s worth! Iron Heart makes great denim, I’m on my second pair now. 👌🏽

[@dariocarafa3788]

I was thinking the same thing that is a very minimal amount of fading for 2 years. I'm not sure if this fell out wears a few different pairs and switches them out or if maybe he just doesn't do anything during the day but that is not what I would consider normal fading for 2 years. I kind of agree getting your money's worth at least if you can make a pair of jeans last that long you're doing something right

[@burningmanmike]

Beautiful jeans, but too rich for my blood. I'm a $150 or less for denim.

[@digitallyhandmade6727]

totally fair! What pair do you usually go for?

[@d05wtt]

For the future, if you’re gonna show your watch off, get a good closeup shot of the face. Stop moving it around. Your hand is so shaky. I can’t see the brand.

[@digitallyhandmade6727]

thanks for the advice!

[@isaacdogliani]

Play badminton 🏸 and tennis in them and theyll camouflage with the tennis net
