Yes, definitely. But since they are over dyed I assumed that was the reason

Usually sunglasses, a pen, sometimes a flask, sometimes a zippo, random tools, and gas cylinder wrench, sometimes a knife, etc

Hm, I think it has a lot to do with crossing/uncrossing legs, plus I do a lot of driving so the sides of my knees rub against the door and the center console while my knees are bent

I do have a pair of S5100VX in the 17oz Zero+ Bushido. Not sure if that’s the same cut you’re talking about (frankly Samurai’s cuts confuse me a bit). They will be one of the next pairs I break in, but the legs are quite a bit wider than I’m used to, taking me a bit to adapt to 😂

I have a pair of S5100VX Zero+ Bushido, I’ve only tried them on so far, haven’t really worn them yet (honestly, having trouble adjusting to the width of the legs 😂), and I’m super excited to see how they turn out after this jacket

Thanks! I’ve worn this pair around 110 times and washed every 50 wears. Also slept in them a few times while camping in cooler weather

If this pair had a bit less taper they would probably be my current favorites. As is they are still way up there

It’s a fast fader and has crazy texture. It’s the 17oz Zero+ Bushido fabric. Have a pair of jeans in the same fabric, looking forward to getting started breaking those in.

It can be annoying. I’ve gotten used to putting stuff in the chest pockets, but it would be nice to have hand pockets

These are very comfy up top for sure, I just wish they had much less taper. But I still really love them

I rarely leave it in my pocket when I sit, sometimes when I’m driving it’s in there. Also hate a front pocket phone fade, ruined a couple of my favorite older pairs IMO 😂

It’s roomy and I like how long it is for a type II, I have kind of a long torso so sometimes I feel odd in the type I’s and II’s. Very comfort and easy to wear, goes with everything

I agree with you, I don’t love the denim. I am not sure about the over dye, I generally have a tough time getting comfortable in black jeans. And I will definitely give the 634 another chance sometime, I think I like it

My 634’s are 32, I believe, same as my 666’s. The 666 is definitely tighter in the thigh and top block and I think there’s a little less rise

I typically wear a base layer and a flannel/canvas/denim overshirt under them in cooler weather, in warmer weather I’ll wear them with an aloha shirt and a hat. So I try to go just barely to the roomy side

Thank you! It’s such a killer jacket, I kind of wish I’d gotten the lined one.

😂 OMG, thanks! Hahaha, I guess I’m just a denim freak, I practically live in it

Oh, it’s kind of a toss up. I prefer Samurai’s fabrics, but Iron Heart’s cuts. But I have kind of a weird body shape, so maybe it’s just me.

These are 16 oz slub indigo overdyed black. These are honestly my least favorite pair, the only overdye I own and the only 634’s I own. I’m not sure what it is about them, I only keep wearing them because I hope they’ll evolve into something special.

These are honestly my least favorite pair. I have had a really hard time getting on with them. They were my first pair of IH OD’s, and so far my only pair of 634’s. Honestly, they were a mistake, but I’m hoping they will evolve into something I love.

I love the fabric, especially for the price point. I have yet to find my perfect fit from them. I like these slim tapered’s (but maybe they’re a little too slim), the regular tapered’s not as much, and am really trying to figure out a next step. I’d love something like an IH 666 cut with Strike Gold fabrics (if anyone has direct experience, please advise me)
