this is a great way to do this!! to often in the game we compare denims and it devolves into a team sports kinda thing. having a brand by brand focus will be the first time such a resource has even hit youtube where its a brand rather than a discussion around a single pair!!
Cheers, Fjorde great video. Getting into Iron Heart denim can be a bad idea. It becomes so damn addictive. Whenever I'm looking for a new shirt or jeans, the first place I look now is, Iron Heart.
The 888 fit is so flattering and comfortable for my body type. I have a 21 oz black overdye pair I’ve been working on for the last few years and they’re almost sweatpants soft. The weight makes them drape so nicely and I can’t say enough good things. The poly-cotton stitching is a real thing too, my other pairs with cotton thread are coming apart, which I like, but these are just tanks. Love your vids man, you gotta do a closet rundown at some point
@@TheRemnantOfAnEraLongGone I’ve got a pair of repro 1947 501’s, 90s 505’s and also 1937 501’s and I love those. Different jeans for different situations. Just need a big top block and room for my thighs. I blew out too many crotches in skinny jeans and they just never worked for me.
@@TheRemnantOfAnEraLongGone I own a pair of 21 oz 888s and another pair of 888 in the 25 oz. Its a great fit that is hard to beat. If I were to suggest between the 21 and 25 oz, I'd definitely go with the 21 oz. The 25 oz is great, but it can be a bit much and the 21 oz just seems to drape nicely and soften up more when thoroughly worn in. My other main pair that I rotate between my IH jeans is the Samurai s510xx in their 21 oz. It is certainly a very different denim and the fit is more of a classic traditional straight fit with a low to medium rise, but the indigo fades in beautifully (and much faster compared to IH), and they actually have better crotch mobility with a lower likelihood of getting any blowouts
Very informative and passionate as always, you’ve mentioned your travels through Africa- I hope you’ve visited Cape Town too as it’s just a stunningly beautiful place and it’s where I live . Also, thanks to your influence I finally pulled the trigger on my first Speedy and absolutely loving it especially in size and style comparison to my rather bulky Panerai I’ve had as a single watch for the past 15 years. Thanks again
Really enjoyed the video. I’m newish to Selvedge Denim but love Iron Heart. I already own a pair of 21oz 555’s and 666’s, so I found this really helpful. Could you tell me where 5 Star Leather are based? Are they on FB or Insta? Thanks
Thanks again Sergei. Interesting thing I noticed on your faded LHTs - the crease fades on the rear pockets from the lining. Mine got those too. Don't see that happening on the right hand twill models. Perhaps something to do with the shrinkage on the initial was that makes the lining a bit looser.
I absolutely love my iron heart jeans but I’d love to own a pair of mister freedom jeans , do you have any and if so could you do a review on them, keep up the great work
Its an entire culture about Japanese denim. I dont understand anything about their cuts or ounces ?..Im completely a novice and lost. But I would like to learn more and where can I purchase them in Japan or elsewhere? Thanks a lot, great channel ! liked & subscribed
It's a very big culture! But its a great community. If you're in the USA I'd recommend www.blueowl.us/ in New York or www.selfedge.com/ (a couple of locations).
Love my iron heart jeans but I have the 21oz 1955s and they don’t have selvedge fly.. my 25oz 666 have selvedge fly ID. I think 1955s the only pair they make without selvedge ID?
Hi if you mean lined back pockets by "doubled" it's wrong I watched your vdo and believed you, but I bought the 666 in 19 once and the back pockets are not lined, unfortunatly. Features are different between jeans and I think they don't now worth the value, it's getting much more expensive now than in Japan, over rated to me. Business and fashion. I go for other japanese brands now, ONI Tanuki Samourai better quality...

Thanks so much. Yes, totally. 👊👊👊👊🤣
The Self Edge exclusive 633 cut is my favorite IH cut🤙🏻

Is there anything in your collection that you think might be superior than the 21oz 888’s? Plus, how many years have you been wearing them?

Fjorde your channel is awesome man and. I think videos of you talking about how you style your outfits would be super helpful. Cheers!
This is a great idea. Thanks! 👊👊👊
I just got my first pair! I can’t wait to add them to my rotation.
i agree, after owning most brands iron heart is the most solid and reliable brand.
Loved it! Excited for the Samurai episode 🤪
Thanks. Just posted it. 👊👊👊

Thanks so much. 5 Star is based in Germany. 👊👊👊
I’m looking forward to this series! Have you have to have any repairs on them? How does the crotch hold up?
Iron Heart are notorious for crotch blow-outs BUT Iron Heart will do all the repairs, you just have to send them your jeans. 👊👊👊
Can't wait for the PBJ episode!!!
Coming soon! 👊👊👊

@Fjorde Thank you, but Im not in NY but in Europe.
Do you have any videos of the overdyed pair faded?
Beautiful hat ! What brand is it?!
Great video as always man💥💥
Love my iron heart jeans but I have the 21oz 1955s and they don’t have selvedge fly.. my 25oz 666 have selvedge fly ID. I think 1955s the only pair they make without selvedge ID?
I could be wrong, but I think Iron Heart UK has typically more features than Iron Heart Japan. Maybe that's the difference? 👊
What is the size of your grizzly jacket ?
My size is 38. 👊👊
C+C jewelry?
Yes, indeed. 👊👊👊
I would love to own a pair of Iron Heart jeans. But my wife thinks any pair of jeans more than $18 is ridiculous.
Your wife ain’t your boss in life…your money your life your call…

the details of iron heart pants are too ordinary. Nothing special compared to other jeans brands.
for example?
@@TigreJoe1994 seams, rails, donut buttons.
Because their main thing isn’t about details. Theyr supposedly the toughest and minimalist
