The Iron Heart IH-888S-142 in 14oz Japanese selvedge denim is available at Rugged Gentlemen Shoppe with fast local shipping and easy returns. Iron Heart releases limited quantities of each model, and availability can vary by retailer. Current stock is shown above.

Our relaxed tapered cut jean, made from 14oz indigo selvedge denim. Our 14oz denim (second version) is made with a double twisted weft yarn (the same construction technique as our 21oz selvedge denim) At 14oz, this is our "least heavy" Japanese jean denim.

Our Fabric Notes

This 14oz denim offers a lighter, more manageable weight compared to Iron Heart’s heavier fabrics. It provides structure without an extended break-in period and is comfortable for year-round wear.

Our Fit Notes

The 888 has a higher rise with more room in the top block, tapering gradually from the knee to the hem. This creates a balanced silhouette that feels comfortable in the seat and thigh while still offering a cleaner leg opening.

Who This Is For

A good choice for those who want comfort in the top block with a more refined, tapered shape below the knee.

• To further reduce the risk of shrinkage, we wash 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 our care guidelines
