IH-555S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - Indigo
Iron Heart - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - Indigo
We got our hands on a pair of the Vintage 18oz denim over two years ago now. We've been waiting for its reissue ever since. There's something simply magical about this denim that you have to see and feel and person to understand. It's made by the legendary Shinya denim which is famed for its vintage style denim production. They've taken the old style methods of manufacturing and added their modern, technical details. Expect this denim to fade both horizontally and vertically for a more "vintage" look.
- Made in Japan
- Super slim cut
- Medium/High rise
- 18oz rope dyed indigo warp, natural weft Japanese selvedge denim
- Iron Heart's take on “vintage”, mixing old and modern methods - the denim is woven slowly under low tension on vintage looms for a vintage style denim.
- Denim woven at the famed Shinya Mills
- Designed to fade like denim used to, so expect some vertical fading
- Button fly and hidden rivets
- Lined rear pockets
- Poly/cotton constructional stitching
- Reinforcing tape on inside of front pocket openings
- Belt loops sewn into waistband
- Sanforized and one-washed - no shrinkage to be expected
- The waist will stretch out approximately one inch with wear

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 32 in the pics. These fit really well overall and were easy to button up (Tommy usually wears a 32 from Iron Heart). You might be able to go true to size with these, but we honestly always recommend sizing up one from Iron Heart. Usually, the bigger sizes tend to fit smaller than other brands. Tommy is 5'10," 165bs with a 31.5-32.5" waist.






































Apparel
The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
