I just got a pair of the 301s and they are so comfortable compared to the "Devils fit". I can now access my pockets without pain and the heavier fabric really is softer. I can't wait to break them in and get some sick fades. I know the 666 is Giles fave but I have to say I'm really into these 301's

I have had these IH-666S for quite some time and recently expanded to the 634s and the 301s….boy the fabric sure is different!

I'm so into the 301s after getting them back from SESF yesterday and its like that infatuation of first love. I really like having more pairs to rotate through now.

Hello Iron Heart Fans!

I'm in lovely San Francisco and have a pair of IH-666S Indigo and a pair of sample TW-3230 in the Sulfur Black and love both so much….

Nizzel -

Thanks very much - yes I also have a "desk job" but try to wear these as much as possible and i love them. As you can see there are some nice fades happening at the top but looking through this forum I feel that I'm way behind. Perhaps wearing them in the ocean, or rolling around in dirt or something would help, if i wash them in the machine would that improve the contrast of the fades? Would love to know your thoughts!

hello world!

Having read these posts for a long time it's time I venture in to share my experience.

I have a pair of IH-666S 32w that I purchased on 4/16/13 here in san francisco. After one cold soak 3 months in, and one warm soak just before the first crotch repair at self edge, I think there is still more breaking in to do.

My current infatuation with these pants is still very strong, and I have taken them with me to India a few times (the humidity really helped the fades) china and all over the US, it still seems my fades don't have as much contrast as some of the (beautiful) pics I see on this forum. What are your secrets?? I would love more contrast…but I know I will have to work for it...

I also feel they are a bit long for me (i'm only 5'8") but I simply can't bear to be without them to have them hemmed, and like some other posts, I am afraid I will regret hemming them.

From a fit perspective, they are loose in the waist (I wear a belt most of the time) and tight in the thighs. In SF it's also less tight around the cuff area that most of the other "kids" but given it's a more adult fit and I'm an adult, I guess it will stay in style for longer...

Anyway - re-reading the threads here makes me want to sleep in mine (again) ...lol
