Our relaxed tapered cut, medium/high rise jeans, made from 21oz indigo selvedge denim. If there’s one particular fabric most commonly associated with Iron Heart, this would be it. Utilising a double-twisted weft yarn and lower tension weave, our signature 21oz denim fabrics are heavy and tough, while softer and more breathable than other heavyweight denim — creating a pair of jeans that mould to the wearer’s body shape like no other.

Denim - Indigo
- The first-ever Iron Heart denim, our signature weave
- 100% cotton
- We utilise a double-twisted weft
In weaving, the weft is the term for the thread or yarn which is drawn through the warp yarns to create cloth. Warp is the lengthwise or longitudinal thread in a roll, while the weft is the transverse thread. A single thread of the weft, crossing the warp, is called a pick. Terms do vary (for instance, in North America, the weft is sometimes referred to as the fill or the filling yarn).

Hardware & Construction
- 4-button fly
The opening at the front of a pair of trousers with buttons. First introduced in 1873 by Levi Strauss & Co, the riveted button fly has been seen on jeans since the original 501. The zipper fly wasn't introduced until 20 years later. The majority of Iron Heart jeans use the button fly with the exception of those jeans with “Z” in the lot number (eg. IH-634Z)
(extra button added due to the higher rise)
- Iron Heart branded tack button at waistband
- Works Inc branded pocket rivets
- Hidden rivets
To 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
- Poly/cotton
Poly/cotton is produced by spinning a sheath of cotton around a core of continuous filament polyester. The result is a thread with the sewing characteristics and traditional look of top quality cotton, yet retaining the many advantages of synthetic threads.
stitching for increased strength
- Single and double needle chain stitch construction
- Belt loops
Fabric loops that have been positioned around the waistband to hold a belt. Belt loops started to replace suspender buttons in the 1920s, once the belt trend emerged after World War I. With the exception of some early iterations of the 634 cut, Iron Heart sew the belt loops under and into the waistband of their 5-pocket jeans for increased strength and a cleaner aesthetic.
anchored at three points and sewn into the waistband
- Heavy cotton pocket bags and lined rear pockets
- The waist will stretch out approximately 1" with wear. All other dimensions that are put under pressure will stretch proportionally to the waist
- We recommend washing this garment at 30°C with a low (or no) spin cycle. Hang dry, do not tumble dry
