Iron Heart’s 888 fit offers the perfect all-rounder jean for those looking for a slightly more relaxed fit. Its high rise, generous thigh, and gentle taper give the jean a subtly vintage look imbued with Iron Heart’s famously modern edge. This super black 21oz. version of their ever-popular denim will fade to grey with high contrast with wear. This heavyweight denim is breathable, comfortable, and surprisingly easy to break in despite its heft thanks to its low-tension weave and double twisted weft construction.
