Japanese selvedge raw denim is considered to be the greatest denim on Earth. It also may be the most adjective heavy denim on Earth. Today we are looking into Iron Heart, specifically the 21oz denim used on their 634S jeans (and others as well of course). What makes Iron Heart so special? Is there anything about them that IS special? What makes them built for motorcyclists or bikers? What about all of these other brands using incredibly heavy denim: Naked & Famous, Strike Gold, Momotaro, etc.?!
Find out...TODAY!

I own 2 pairs of pants. They are both Iron Heart 25oz. What convinced me to invest in these was the free repairs for life (oh, and having 35-37" inseams - unheard of in Japanese denim). I already have over 1000 wears on one of them, and more than 300 on the other. They are pants I could imagine wearing the next couple decades. Their 25oz is the best on the market. Tightly woven, and less prone to cracking then other brands. It's nice to simplify my wardrobe by owning very few, but only the best, clothes.

Iron heart really lived up to what’s people have said . I started with shirt with a kersey and then a flannel and now a denim shirt. It’s truly insane and jeans are next on the list. Their customer service is by far the best, I have experienced. You can ask them to find an exact measurement you need and I’ve been able to get all my shirts in the same measurements. It’s really amazing

When I saw you were finally talking about Iron Heart I was excited. When I saw you were reviewing the same pair I am currently wearing, I was giddy. I've owned my 634S for about 3 years now and I can kind of see why people compare them to sweat pants. The customer service I've received from Iron Heart International has been awesome. It's just a matter of time before I buy from them again.

Owner of IH 777s 14OD and it's true, they feel so different compared to any of my other denim and I own pairs from Kato, Momotaro, Samurai, Oni and Naked & Famous and have tried Brave Star. IH is soft and comfy, there is almost next to no break in time needed and at least from my black OD pair the fades have actually been really fast and are looking great. The quality is on point, every stitch, hem stitch and so on is perfect...nothing is loose, or coming out or anything at all compared to even my nicer Samurai 710 organic cotton pair. I also own two different denim jackets from IH and the quality is equally as good and the customer service from IH UK's site was great, they double checked everything with me regarding sizing and I do love them despite the expensive price tag. One last thing not mentioned, IH jeans have lined back pockets too, they feel nice and soft when you reach in to grab a phone or wallet, not many brands do this.

@@amossutandi Not an expert but I imagine that can also be a fit issue instead of just straight up quality. If the jeans are on the tighter side and you wear them a touch low waisted, it'll put stress on the seams in the crotch. That said, the brands you tried are a world away from Iron Heart. There's a big jump in quality (at least from what i've noticed) from higher end department store brands to the brands mentioned in this video.

I honestly like numerous Japanese denim brands; Samurai, The strike Gold, PBJ for their different textures (see the hank-dyed natural indigo in the Aizome AI PBJ!), some colors (see the Samurai Uguisu), and others. But if there was only one brand I could buy, it would be a super close battle between Samurai and IH, and IH would most likely win that battle. I am currently wearing one pair on jeans every day as a sort of exercise in minimalism. This is the Indigo-Black IH-777-21oz. And yes, this thing is a beast and yet it is indeed super soft in now time, molds extremely well to your shape, and has a level of construction and thereby of comfort that is (to me) unparalleled. Let alone all the fantastic shirts and jackets they are producing. The Kersey shirt is just a beautiful and SUPER comfy piece of clothing. Their flannels are top, the denim shirts amazing, and (as you mentioned) their overdyed garments STUNNING. I have an 18oz OD CPO, that I love. So yes, IH is special.

This video definitely got me more interested in Iron Heart, I like durable clothing but am not really interested in more characterful denim with lots of slub or nep. Iron Heart is interesting to me because it's slow fading and very uniform, which is the opposite approach of most raw denim brands. My only experience with heavyweight denim so far is the Unbranded 22 oz Big Slub jacket and it has made me appreciate how great 14-17 oz denim feels by comparison.

I'd not write off heavyweight denim until you actually try on a pair of Iron Heart 21oz+. IH denim is uniquely comfortable in my experience. I own the Unbranded 22oz jacket, and I like it (despite the struggle to button it at first), but it's just not the same as IH.

I have heard iron hearts pockets rip pretty quickly. I don't own a pair but that is the only complaint I have ever heard about iron heart. Can't wait to get a pair of chinos from iron heart. How about reviewing some hebtroco trousers or shirts? Awesome video. Cheers.

Done deal! I've actually heard that too which is surprising. I'm assuming it's because they don't want the silhouette of the jean to show the pocket bags so they go with a thinner material?

Cool jeans and everything, but I was thinking this was a pair of riding jeans. Like jeans with knee pads and selectively-placed kevlar.
@DerpEye

Yeah, well, maybe for motorcyclists of 1960s. Today if it does not have at least knee padding and kevlar, it's not a motorcycling jeans. No matter how heavy is the denim, it will wear out in a couple of seconds while sliding on asphalt. Fancy pants though.

I was searching for this comment, for anyone that has come off a bike in jeans, even biker jeans you will know, 2 seconds sliding on these £350 jeans will have you down to the bone. The only jeans ok for motorcycle riding are the Kevlar armoured jeans.

So for me the million dollar question is this. How are they on sizing? Since they’re a Japanese brand are they sized differently? I normally wear about a 36/34, waist/inseam. The question is, if I buy that from the website am I getting that in American sizes? I know sometimes when you buy from certain countries even in Europe, the sizing is different.

I know about this brand because I'm a big denim enthusiast. There's only one brand that did it better for 3 years than this brand, and thats AMIRI brand from 2017-2019. They would age the jeans for 6 months in a factory to create natural looking whiskers on the jeans which had a fade and a 3d design.

I don't like IH because of what seems to be an intentional proclivity towards fading. I know one of the things you said was that they are somehow more colorfast, but that is not what I see on the street. Basically, the fading seems accelerated for the purpose of winning fading competitions when all I want is a long lasting, soft fading, comfortable selvedge denim. I would now add stretch to that list, as well.

IH doesn't fade any faster than other raw denim in my experience...slower in fact. I've read its 21oz indigo - its bread and butter - is particularly stubborn to fade, but I don't personally own a pair.

@eindbaas 2 ай бұрын
I wonder if this is a good only raw denim for someone that doesn't wear it every day. I got some N&F and other brands, but they always stay in an ugly slightly faded state. I'm never going to get good fades with my use, so I'd rather keep it unfaded then.
