The 18oz vintage denim is woven in the famed Shinya Mills in Japan, one that specializes in vintage style fabric. This denim is a loose weave woven slowly with low tension on old shuttle looms. It starts off a bit crunchier and hairier than other Iron Heart denim, but will fade fast as it opens up. As the name suggests, these 18oz denim will fade to a vintage appeal.
The Iron Heart IH-888S-21 jean is Iron Heart's answer to the ever popular tapered fit. A more modern tapered cut, the 888 has a medium to high rise with a relaxed thigh and top block that tapers down to the knee and then down to the leg opening.
