I'm going to buy 666's from rakuten not sure if it's going to be the 19 or 25oz really up in the air. The "original" 18oz on the IH 666s is an amazing denim. Don't rule it out! I like it so much, I bought 2 backup pairs  Here's a pic of a couple of mine, with some G's and a Roy for reference. Photo is untouched, with no flash. It's pretty damn close to IRL color - as close as I could get with my iPhone. Left to Right: G King Zim 18oz (never soaked or worn) G Zim 15oz (soaked and worn ~50 times) Roy RN01 (Soaked and worn ~50 times) IH 666s (Soaked twice, worn ~150 times) IH 666s (cold soaked once, only worn a few times) This pic shows a pretty nice range of indigos. The G Zim 15's show their slight green cast in comparison here. The King Zimbs will obviously look different once worn and soaked, so not really a great representation of them, but I haven't had time to get them hemmed and into rotation. The Roy's show their slightly purple cast in this line up. They are a fantastic pair of jeans! Highly recommended (any Roy). Then, there's the IH's. I love these. They are my favorites of the way too many jeans I have. For the 18oz 666s, I have a 3rd pair that's a back up to my back ups. That's how much I like them  I could live in them 24/7. Perfect weight, substantial yet amazingly soft, and they mold wonderfully to my body. This pic shows a decent evo of the IH 18oz from new to broken in.  Great picture and lineup. |

Damn, apparently the jeans I ordered from Rodeo Bros 2 days ago are already at my house. Wow! That's what I call service.

It is, but I am super impressed with Rodeo Bros because it comes from Japan and they have sent shit to me in 3 days. That's quicker than most domestic companies. |

So Iron Heart just picked up a new supply of CHUP socks. I highly recommend these if you guys haven't copped a pair yet. I picked some up from Jcrew and they are my favorite socks in my drawer now. I like them better than my Darn Toughs.

I'll do some pics when I have a chance. I went big and got the 666 25 oz. I can't get to them for a while though.... I was not expecting them to get to the US so fast. |

Son of a b?!/h - I think I need a pair of those. I may go for the 555 because it's slimmer.
Where did you get them?

I like that the patch announces to the world that "These are really f-ing heavy jeans. Stand back!"

Nice jeffrx! You went all out with 25 ouncers that's for sure. I won't go over 21 now but more power to you if you can break those bad boys in. BTW, one thing I forgot to mention about Iron Hearts earlier is that I really dig the color of thread that they use. It's not the traditional copper/brownish color you see on most jeans. It's more of a yellow/golden color that really pops. Looks sharp. Nice jeans jeff. |

Must resist ordering 25oz iron hearts. Jeff how do you like wearing them? Are they a little too much for a daily pair?

  IHPT-04 - V Neck Pocket T-Shirt Review: This is my first Iron Heart t-shirt. It’s nothing like any other t-shirt I’ve ever owned. Generally speaking I severely dislike v-necks, but I really like this v-neck. Fabric: It is really the exact fabric I was hoping it would be: Very heavy and rugged, yet noticeable softer than even most of my Supima tees. Stitching: Thick poly stitching. I’ve had stitching go out on other extra long staple cotton shirts before because the fabric is better than the stitching, but this is not the case for this shirt: both fabric and stitching is super beefy. Fit: In one word: relaxed. Perhaps even a little too relaxed as it sticks out of the bottom of both a large IHSH-107 and a large IHSH-76… I hot washed this shirt and it has shrunk a bit since the pictures, but it's still a little baggy. It might be worth sizing down from regular IH size with this one… Overall it’s a nice shirt. So many different companies make t-shirts, but this one really succeeds on virtually every level. I love how Iron Heart can take something as simple as a plain grey t-shirt and make something truly great of it. The fabric, construction, and details work together well to make an exceptional shirt that I will be able to enjoy for many years to come.  Love the detail and I agree with you about the size is bit relax, especially the shoulder. The heavier fabric probably look even more relax since it doesn't drape much. |

I plan to wear them a decent amount. I wouldn't say wearing a 25oz every single day is something I would want to do, but a few days a week seems do-able. These fit me pretty well, so that helps. I spent a good hour just trying to make the buttons easier to close. That's a battle in itself. |

I'm sure they will soften up but is rather have a daily pair that you don't stuggle with daily. |

I will say that pocket T is too big. It's kick ass don't get me wrong but you should size down. The shoulder seam is way too far down your arm and just looks baggy on you.
That being said you should sell it to me.
