disheveled - those 777s are nice, love the warp/weft combo. Like digdug i'd have to size up for those, and if i'm sizing up for black denim right now its for those pbjs you mentioned form blue owl. As for the heavyweight comments - Im in the minority with IHs offerings, i think all the things i really like (indigo x indigos and 17Ns) never picked up. but those guys do it for me. So do the 18s...but I also think i bight myself going with the 633 and sizing for thighs

"Let him tell you what to do" What are you talking about? If anything we are poking fun at the IH circle jerk. oh, it was said the best thing to do is not buy any of the denims from the Iron Hearts. And I was just saying that you should do the exact opposite just to spite anyone telling you how to live your life. It was only in jest. You can let people tell you what to do if you want. Buy jeans, don't buy jeans. It is ok. You can even buy selvedge jorts. stovallandyoung.com/product/1985/I do not understand why that company produces zipper flies, though. I don't know about you guys, but I definitely look down upon anyone with zipper flies. And they cuffed the jorts so you could see the selvedge. Dudes wearing these monstrosities probably button the top button of a shirt without a tie. I own multiple IH items and have enjoyed them all. Don't get me wrong, their customer service and shipping is second to none. But their pricing makes me dizzy sometimes. Just is what it is, but if you see an item you really like it is probably worth it. On the other hand, I also don't get the "they can do no wrong" view many seem to have regarding them. They released crooked flannel shirts awhile back for crying out loud. I almost have sticker shock again with them for some reason. |

Those PBJs are out of this world--texture and fit. The BO employee said the fabric will still shrink, even though its warp yarn was OD. And they're early/fast faders coming from a knowledable source on IG. It is so nice to have as many options as we do with IH's cuts: 633, 777, 555, 888, etc Cheers, brother |

This place is really going downhill... Sad, because it used to be pretty awesome. I think a lot of us ended up here when Gustin killed their boards. Lots of folks were looking for the next thing and buying all kinds of new, interesting things. Now most of us are set in our ways and the experimentation is largely dried up and we're finally getting around to working on fades, and not posting pics. |

Congrats on quiting smoking. Is the UK less inclined than Japan or was it just a personal choice?

No one posts anymore, and when they do it's IH forum 2.0... That's slightly misleading, because this thread doesn't get the most action on here, and we all know that. (The "Gustin- New Drops" has nearly double the replies/comments, and more than double the views). As far as the WAYWT thread, Idk why everyone stopped posting. I know I stopped because I quit smoking, so now I don't have a good (indoors) place to take my selfies. My habit was to go smoke, snap some selfies, post, and then go back to work. I feel vain going outside to ONLY take selfies tho... LMAO! But, in addition to that, I can personally say that the increase in passive aggressive, snarky and rude comments towards other forum members and the brand owner that stops by from time to time to check in and answer unanswered questions. I mean, it's bad enough that we're a bunch of dudes sitting around discussing how our over-priced clothes fit, the fabric textures, and accessories like some freakin' Beverly Hills trophy wives... But can't we at least do that without being a "Bad Girl's Club"? Like geez, does someone have a 'slam book'?! <rant complete> Gotta spice up this place somehow 😉 This was a Gustin board originally (I think) so that makes sense. SuFu is ruining my forum etiquette I think lol. |

I've never been to a more unpleasant forum, aside from 4chan, lmao! Let's not go the SuFu route, lol! No need for "fashion gangs"... I predominately wear IH, but I totally respect all the other brnads discussed here as well! Well, except that one that we don't discuss anymore... **Speaking of which, anyone heard from the AZAG? Right lol. It's nothing like the older days though. You will get honest opinions there still i know that. And as mentioned before, the "sticker shock" has been much more prevalent the past couple months for me. I haven't done a no spend or anything of the like either. Things pretty much have to be perfect for me to buy new from the UK anymore. I was interested in the lion key-hooks, but haven't seen it through. |

This is basically the only forum I read or contribute to, so I don't have a whole lot to compare it to, but I think members, are, for the most part, pretty friendly and respectful. I mean, sure, there are occasional trolling comments, but it seems like those are either from known trolls, or well known members just joking around. I know the IHUK VAT discussion raises everyone's dander, but are there other specific and recurring examples that are unbecoming on the forum? |

I'm pretty new here, but I find this forum very balanced in terms of brands, styles, tastes. We've got a good mix of American, Japanese, European brands going on, and that's something I really like. There's something for everybody. Other forums that I lurked and signed up to were very specific in terms of style, brands, country of origin, price of jeans, etc. That's not for me, bc I don't want to dress a certain way all the time nor do I have money to buy the most expensive gear on the market just to be with the in-crowd. All the members I've communicated with were great so far. Haven't experienced anything negative yet. It definitely helps if you're thick-skinned, people are more up-front online than in person, but I don't think that's a bad thing.
I'm also guilty of being a little slow on posting pics atm because the weather is really bad and I'm quite busy, but that should change in a few weeks (hopefully)

I've decided I simply don't like the heavy denims. I don't like the weight/pull of them on my belt. 14-16oz is where I'll stay Have you owned any heavier denim from a Japanese brand? And ickes , how do you not own any IH 21oz?! I've nearly bought some a few times. I have two pairs of IH 21oz flagship denim, one in the 888 cut and one in the 634 cut. What made you think I didn't? |

If that's the impression you get then you completely have the wrong idea. |

Just went back to 2012. Walked into Self Edge and said ring this fing rooster up, VAT and all. Sensitive types avert your eyes. Extremely lucky score as I've been regrouping after someone made an attempt on my life via snagging the last 33 25od during the sale. Found the praise of these hard to believe, however, they may indeed be the holy grail of IH denim. Absolutely tasty. A diamond, in a sea of VAT butthurt.  |

[quote author=" yinzer" source="/post/97056/thread" On the other hand, I also don't get the "they can do no wrong" view many seem to have regarding them. They released crooked flannel shirts awhile back for crying out loud. [/quote] I'm assuming you're referring to the 129? If so, when these were released, IHUK specifically mentioned the skew in the product listing and that should such a thing bother you not to buy it. what i'm getting at is that Giles was transparent about the skew and the 129's still sold. I recently picked up a second-hand (but still new) 129 knowing about the skew, but it's not noticeable to me and I love the colors. |

I try to focus on what I like, and buy something not more often than every couple of months. It took my a long time to decide to buy my IH CPO, but when I did I found their service to be top notch. They run one of the most detailed websites I’ve seen, providing detailed shots of the fabric, tons of pictures of their garments from every angle, every measurement you could want (that they won’t hesitate to double check for you), you can customize your snaps, and also have a forum where you can see what projects are coming up months in advance. Would I like to pay less? Sure, who wouldn’t. But I guess I like to think all of this information and customer service is part of what you are choosing to pay for when you buy from IHUK. If I could have bought it cheaper from Rakuten would I have? Probably, but first I would have gone to IHUK to look at all of their photos and all of their measurements and checked their forum to see what others thought about it and looked at their fade gallery.....
Not trying to change the minds anyone here, but that’s just how I see it.

I love my 634 but wish the rise was a bit longer and the thighs a bit slimmer 888 has a higher rise than the 634. Thighs are not smaller than the 634's, about the same IMO but haven't compared measurements much lately. 888 has more taper from the thigh down. |

So forgive me as I’m late to the party and just looking at this vat discussion. Seems a bit odd
IH UK says the price includes vat but they don’t reduce price at checkout or provide info for the customer to apply for a refund.
Aren’t they obligated under eu rules to do this ?
