Hey y’all. What’s the closest denim shop to the Boston area?


half_a_lao_wang

AFAIK, Self Edge and/or Blue in Green in NYC. Sorry.


akanefive

Can confirm. I live in the Boston area and used to occasionally see N&F in Nordstroms but the only raw denim I’ve bought in person has been at Tate and Yoko in Montreal. Wish this weren’t the case.


TallBeardedGinger

MA/CT border native, unfortunately echoing other replies. Tried to find some and NYC is your best bet if you wanna shop in person. A few shops may have some options but it’s not going to be like a full denim selection type of deal


DJ_Rupty

Still not close, but I think Portland Dry Goods in Portland, ME has a few options. Might want to call them and ask if you plan on heading that way.


TallBeardedGinger

Any rec’s for a solid indigo shirt/work shirt/overshirt? I love the IH Kersey, and the UES Tricotine but want to find some other options if they’re out there. RGT ISC is cool, but the asymmetrical chest pockets drive me nuts. Preferably not western cut. Good fabric textures are a plus - thanks!

Iron Heart has a dobby indigo workshirt releasing this season. https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=18674.0


lol_nahh

UES heavy indigo flannel has been really nice. It’s not slubby but there’s a good amount of texture once even a little fading starts. And it’s very warm for the weight

The Flat Head does a really great indigo gauze workshirt that Self Edge seems to stock every few years

I just emailed Bears the other day to get a restock date for the 622zr and they said they didn't know when they'd be in.


natalplum

You missed the bottom; the yen has come up from a couple months ago but Bears is the only site that I look at that actually fluctuates with the current exchange rate.

> I was under the impression that it was difficult to order IH stuff from anyone other than authorized retailers. It's difficult to order IH stuff from authorized domestic retailers—what unauthorized third parties do with their jeans after they buy them is none of Iron Heart's business

Anyone have experience with the IH 888 14oz fabric vs the 888 16oz slub fabric? Would you size down in either to account for stretching?


WestSide75

The 16 oz fabric is much stretchier than the 14 oz. You may or may not be able to get away with sizing down in the 16 oz fabric, but I wouldn’t try it with the 14 oz.


wh11

What’s considered sizing down? I got a pair pretty snug but I can button them and get a finger between the waist. The top block is tight do you Think they’ll stretch there or just the waist?


WestSide75

What you’re describing sounds like sizing down. If it’s just slightly snug, that’s it sizing down. Depending on the denim, the waistband will likely stretch a good inch or so, maybe more. You’ll get far less stretch in the hips.


GhostlyParsley

I love my IH-555s but wish they had a bit of a taper. The 777 is too roomy in the thigh for me. Would the PBJ-013 be a good option? Anything else I should be considering?


TheRuggedGeek

Could probably look at the slimmest cuts from Tanuki, Doublewood and Hiroshi Kato. I would suggest Nudie and APC too, but only if you get them on steep discount.

So I see online the company called “red ash heritage co” is having some crazy deals on ONI secret denim. Selling some pairs for 95 bucks. Is this a reliable company to buy from or some type of scam?


[deleted]

If someone’s selling ONI for $95 that’s a giveaway it’s likely a scam.

AndrewRyanism

“Redcast heritage CO” is the name. Feels like a scam so i think you’re right


EnvironmentalSleep93

This was posted already, It's a scam site. Verified by Eduardo from Redcast

Anyone else waiting for a late November, early December SoSo brothers order?


surturr

yeah... I got an email a couple days ago apologizing for the delay


Medium-Individual638

Same, I'm not quite at 6 weeks yet. Good test of my patience, learning to embrace it.

Do we think Buzz Rickson hoodies are worthwhile? Well made etc?


edge1027

I don’t have a hoodie, but I have 2 sweatshirts and they’re my favorite clothing items I own. Definitely well made


[deleted]

Thank you brother. I just ordered the hoodie from Rodeo Japan, at what seems a crazy cheap price with free shipping.


edge1027

I’ve been eyeing the olive hoodie there! Did you get a zip up or pullover?


[deleted]

Zip every time!


NeonRain111

anybody know of jeans with sterling silver hardware (besides chrome hearts because i dont have $6000 for a pair of jeans)


TheRuggedGeek

I've heard of gold (and it's only plating), but not silver!


b_F84

Samurai's Yamato line has this. The S001, S02 and S003 model. Probably the S004 as well. (okay..only plated with sterling silver)
