The 663S look awesome.. $360 is a crap ton but they do look awesome. To bad you can't find them on rakuten. Ickes have you thought about getting a 666 or 634 and havin railcar taper? no, no I have not. |

IHV-02-BLK Wabash Vest, @wils has the shirt which is cool as well. I love this thing, great under the MC jacket or just kicking around. Usually wear it with a long sleeves but I was too lazy to change shirts.... Took this to the tailor as I have a long torso so to get the length I had to size up and it was boxy as hell on me. I like it much better now.   |

So I have this SelfEdge credit to burn and I have it narrowed down to two pairs of Iron Hearts. One is in a 666 (devils cut) fit and the other is the 634S with the tapered leg mentioned above. Does anyone have any experience with the 666 fit? I don't like skinny jeans, but I can do slim/slim straights and straights. Any input that anybody can provide on the IH 666 cut would be greatly appreciated.

I'm considering the 666 (Devil's Fit) or the IHXB01 (Beatle Buster). I know I said I wouldn't be able to pay SE or IHUK prices but I can't seem to find anything in my size on Rakuten. Since I am turning into an IH fanboy, I may end up caving in. Here's how I'm justifying it to myself: I knew nothing about raw denim until a little over a year ago. It has since turned into a serious interest of mine. I started down the road with Gustin but have fallen out of love with the whole KS model for numerous reasons. I have easily bought over $600 worth of Gustin jeans but really only wear one or two pairs - most of them are wasting away since they no longer fit me. After buying a few IH shirts, I really want to move up to the next level of denim and IH is the logical choice for me (like the brand, like their "story"). Since I really only need three/four pairs of denim, why not buy a couple of IH instead of spending as much (or more) stockpiling pairs of various KS brands? That's probably a bit of a rambling mess, but it's what the devil on my shoulder told me to write. |

I have a few friends in the Euro realm and they love the 666's. The pics they post look great. Don't think you can go wrong. Just pic the fit you like. |

I think post tax return might splurge on a few new jeans.

@untucked, I also keep looking at the 555s. But the 34 has a 7.8 hem. I wouldn't want too much smaller than that and, being unsanforized, they'd probably check in around 7.5 after a soak.

Man I have been wearing my 102 work shirt man it is a warm ass shirt. Shoveling snow in 16* weather with my jacket on and I was sweating bullets. Blocks the wind well.
Lawless needs to get some 12oz flannel double brushed on the inside since on the outside. I wouldn't say it's a $350 shirt but it's worth around $160-200 all day.

If they make XXL. I thought the grumblings are that thrusting make large sizes. And, I think if they do, you would have to go through SE or IHUK. But, I will check, none the less

There's none on Rakuten that I can find. They are down to $200 (all the 19 oz denim that are 23760 yen). Edit: I must be patient and happy with my 21/23. The 634S-19L will show up again... |

Tapering can throw off other aspects of the cut. Sometimes it works. Sometimes not. Also remember railcar charges about $60 for tapering. So now you are talking $420 total. IMO, it's better to find the right fit than to try to create the right fit. |

The prices at SE and IHUK were always a bridge too far for me. Then I found Rakuten and it makes it even harder for me to pay those prices. If I can't get them from Japan, I will probably not give them a try. I basically feel the same way. It's really hard for me to pay SE/IHUK prices when you see what the full retail price is in Japanese stores. I will sometimes pay IH UK prices for IH UK specific models but only infrequently. Even the Japan retail prices are at the top of my comfort range. |

seth, I have hovered over the 'Add to Cart' at the UK site a bunch of times. But I cannot get the Rakuten prices out of my head. Nearly half off. @untucked, you're killing me man. Grab me a large IHSH-62 in black.
