IH-777-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Black
Iron Heart - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Black
Wow, wow, wow! Our first experience with Iron Heart's heaviest denim. This stuff is not for the faint of heart. We decided to go with the indigo/black for the first round because it's just that beautiful. It fades with a shadowy nature...and let's be honest. If you're going to wear these leg breakers you better damn well get some incredible fades out of them. We've seen these beauties after a few years, and we must say there is nothing quite like it. This is the cream of the crop, the head honcho, the end-all-be-all of denim. Scop all the details below and check the leg breakers in action in the on-body pictures. With a rope-dyed indigo warp that will fade and a reactive-dyed black weft that won't, you're looking at one of the most unique denims in the world as well! These might seem stiff up front, just keep in minded with a little tender love and care that they will become soft and comfy.

A variance of .5" is to be expected.
Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 32 in these. That is one up from his standard Iron Heart Size. With something this heavy, we've found it's better to heir on the side of extra room. They will stretch and they will get soft, but it doesn't change the fact that they will be warm and trap heat. You should go for measurements maybe a little bigger than your normal pair. If you're brave, temp fate. But don't tell you we didn't tell you so! Tommy is between a 32-33" true 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.
