Ickes - I thought it was the 666s that had the tight thighs? They are, that's what @stevekas said he ordered.

will do ickes. I'll throw up some fit pics etc. Should be interesting and I can compare them to the 634sr's I have at Railcar right now getting tapered and hemmed.

Oh boy - I just bought the Oni's. Looks like we're all getting into the more expensive stuff. Does this mean our tastes are maturing? Or have we gone a bit crazy? It's both, as well as the expensive stuff getting less expensive. I would dabdle in "premium" brands before but now It's hard to argue when you can get 20+oz Iron Heart 666 for 250.00 or less after shipping. Those are 450ish dollars at SE in the states. Same price break for the heavy Oni's. Hell, I see lighter Oni 512 and 512xx for about 150 dollars on Rakuten. That's how much a pair of 125 dollar Gustin cost me after shipping, California sales tax and a 2-3 month wait.

Great points Steve. A little but more expensive for me in $CDN but worth it.

Man the republik of California taxes clothing what pain that is. I buy as much as I can tax free or in New Hampshire for tax reasons when it permits.
Taxes are a bitch.

Nice brentkuz! You will be very happy. For some reason I thought you already owned a pair of Iron Hearts this whole time...huh. Well cool man, I think you will enjoy them. Our club is growing bigger, people are seeing the light. We are the Lonely Iron Hearts Club and surely there will be more members joining us soon.

Stevekas - if you're 666's fit your thigh's I'm pooched because that will mean they will likely fit me and I'll have to buy them. The good news is that I left rawr.com open on the home computer and my wife was looking at a pair with a flowery colored weft that she thought was pretty! If she joins the club, I will be able to be buy the IH's with < grief.

Nope no jeans some Samurai's I recently got though. 30,000 yen, would be 32,000 for japan customers due to tax, free shipping. Can't beat it.

I have a 44 inch chest and I notice that the Rakuten sites generally only carry the 42 size at maximum. I reached out to Rodeo to see if they can come up with an IH work shirt in size XXL for me. I did say I was done buying, right? Maybe if LD eventually delivered my shirts, I would not be worried about this!

jeffrx - I am a 42/43" chest depending how puffy my nips are that day. I fit into IH XL fine for the most part. Say with the ihsh-62 indigo it measures at 23" across for a 46" chest and it works perfect. I'm not worried to even wash it.

If I can't get them go order it, I'll think about it.

I also think I need an XXL, as most of my fitted shirts measure at least 23" across the chest. Hopefully they can find at least two XXLs jeffrx. Let us know what you hear from Rodeo!

Wore the 666S-21 for their first full day today. Working through the break in period. I think these are going to be my go-to pair but right now they are work. The thighs are really slim on these. Not too bad when I'm standing but feel skin tight when I'm sitting. Hopefully they'll give a bit after a few wears. Love the look of them and the weight is awesome. Definitely the best pair of denim I own and pretty sure I'll be getting more IH down the road.
