IH-888D - 17oz Duck Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Brown
-
Wow. The duck is really a winner when it comes to Iron Heart. I’ve had my eyes on a pair for a while. After wearing mine all weekend. They’ve stretched in all the right places and are super comfortable. So happy to be wearing this for summer! I’ll be posting a lot more photos once the Redline Rally starts. Ducks and IHM-42 at for the next 6 months probably. Then switch it back to UHRs. I really want to put some serious wear into these ducks. They have really surprised me
🥰 -
@Fadez heeeeeck yeah buddy! mine should be waiting for me when i get home today. Super looking forward to it. I've had my eye set on these since about last fall. I've been all denim, all the time so it'll be an interesting change.
-
IH direct has by far the most accurate hem lengths I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe some of the other denim retailers. Off by almost inch? Cmon…..
-
@Mizmazzle Absolutely. Daytime wear will be easier with these. I struggled with my 12oz from GPWW. Mostly wore the 7oz camos. The ducks will be great
-
Hi all, I am in the fence about ordering a pair of those, but not sure about the sizing, I used size tag 35 on 888S - 21oz. My actual waist is 34.8", would you say I should go with s size 35 or size up? Thanks a lot.

@Andres-G The guys at the IHUK shop will be able to help you. Send them an email: shop@ironheart.co.uk and someone will get back to you and answer your questions.
The best thing I can suggest is to measure a pair of your favourite jeans the IH way and compare the measurements to the chart list for this release.
Here is the ways that IH measures different items: How we measure
And the Measurement Chart for your easy reference.

I'm a ~36" waist and was on the fence about 35 (-1) or 36 (TTS). I'm went for the 36 and glad I did. The fabric feels fairly rigid and less forgiving, and I think the measurements don't show how slim overall they feel. In a good way, though.
-
@goosehd Thanks a lot for your response, will do that.
-
@Cents-or-Non-Cents thanks for the info, will take into consideration.
-
@Fadez Thanks a lot for the recomendation, I think I`ve made my mind already and will go TTS, Br

Only 3 wears after a pre-soak and damp wear, these are pretty comfortable. They're way more breathable than I expected and I could totally wear them in full MD summer. This fabric seems tough as nails and I'm wondering how it'll soften. I have no complaints, just curious how it'll go. The fit is fantastic, My 888's with a larger waist and a slimmer hem seem to be perfect for my form and preference. They seem to have formed nearly as well as any denim I have, and had just enough give for the waist to give me a perfect amount of slack. These are going to be one of my main pairs for sure.
-
These are super good pants, and I'm pleasantly surprised how they form to your body, like the 21 oz denim (my only other Iron Hearts). For sizing, definitely go up in waist size. I ordered a tag 34 that was listed as 34.6" and they were more like 33. Then I ordered a tag 35 that was listed as 35.5" and more like 34 in reality. The smaller ones I'll give to my son, and the 35 I'll see if my tailor can expand the waist a bit.

@Transporter that’s a pretty big variation, I think the discrepancy is in measuring methods. IH has a particular way. Hope this helps. https://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/how-we-measure-bottoms

Are you measuring like IH does? That got me with my first pair. Literally my only complaint about anything IH. Not a fan of the way they measure waists.
But hey, it’s a quibble. I’ll be roasting my ass in 95 degree weather tomorrow biking in to work wearing something IH. Maybe I’ll put the 25oz on haha.
-
@WhiskeySandwich That is possible. I measured them using my 888s as a guide.
-
@drewfonse Haha, that's what I need to do with these ducks! I'm hoping to get 1/2" or so stretch and they'll be perfect.
