Iron Heart | IH-634S-SLB | 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans | Indigo
The Iron Heart traditional straight cut jeans, made from 16oz slubby selvedge denim. The most heavily textured denim in the Iron Heart lineup, the 16oz slubby selvedge is woven slowly and loosely (think off-the-scale loom-chatter!), resulting in a more irregular twill and an uneven fabric hand on both the face and reverse. Compared to other heavyweight weaves, this is a softer, more breathable denim which brims with distinctive character.

- Hidden rivetsTo help hold the heavyweight tools that were often tucked into back pockets, rivets were introduced into the back pocket construction of jeans in the late 19th century. From 1937 onwards, they were covered to prevent damaging furniture, saddles, and car seats, the so-called hidden rivet was invented. Hidden rivets are similar to the exposed rivets on the front of a pair of jeans, but they are attached before the stitching is done, rather than on top of the pocket after stitching. This means that the rivet is only visible inside the jeans. Hidden rivets were generally dropped in the 1980s as they are complicated and expensive to attach, but have since featured on premium jeans, produced with an eye on older traditions. For denim afficionados this is especially exciting as eventually the rivet will rub through the denim as a result of long, hard, wear. Iron Heart jeans use hidden rivets at the top of their back pockets. on rear pockets

Fabric Focus
Sanforized & One-Washed
- Sanforization is a post-weave mechanical process which removes most potential shrinkage from a fabric before garment construction
- To further reduce the risk of shrinkage, IH washes the completed garment in an aggressive industrial washing machine. This process removes virtually all potential shrinkage.
- No further shrinkage is expected when washed according to the IH care guidelines
Stretch Details
- The waist will stretch out approximately 1" with wear. All other dimensions that are put under pressure will stretch proportionally to the waist
Care Guidelines
- We recommend washing this garment at 30°C with a low (or no) spin cycle. Hang dry, do not tumble dry
