The Iron Heart's IH-888S-21od is one serious denim. Using their flagship 21oz indigo selvedge denim, Iron Heart has steeped the pair in a black dye using a direct dye process, resulting in a dark fabric with shades of indigo, similar to how some double indigo fabrics look. Due to the overdye process, all shrinkage is accounted for and results in a slightly slimmer/tighter cut of the 888 compared to the regular non-overdyed 21oz flagship denim.
Read our in-depth one-year review here.
Note: These are sanforized, one-washed, and overdyed, so expect no shrinkage. Denim will stretch about 1" in the waist after breaking in. For those who like slim fitting jeans, upon first wear the top button should be snug and possibly hard to button-up.
Model: 6'0'' and 175 lbs (currently closer to 170 lbs) with moderate "lifter" thighs, wearing size 32 (his typical size) for a comfortable fit in the waist and upper block.
