The Iron Heart IH-555S-SLB in 16oz Slubby Japanese selvedge denim is available at Rugged Gentlemen Shoppe with fast local shipping and easy returns. Due to limited production, certain sizes can be hard to find once they sell through. If your size is currently available, it may be worth securing it while stock lasts.

A first for Iron Heart, a slubby denim. This deep indigo selvedge denim has a really uneven hand on both the face and the reverse (think off the scale loom-chatter), but at the same time it is incredibly soft and comfortable to wear.

Our Fabric Notes

The 16oz slubby denim features a more irregular texture, giving the fabric a distinct surface character. While still structured, it softens with wear and develops noticeable visual texture over time.

Our Fit Notes

The 555 is a slim straight cut with a relatively low to mid rise and a clean line through the leg. It fits closer through the thigh than Iron Heart’s classic straight cuts without feeling overly tapered. This is a good option if you prefer a sharper silhouette while still keeping a straight-leg profile.

Who This Is For

This cut suits those who want a modern, streamlined fit without going fully slim or tapered. Suited for those who appreciate visible fabric character and a more textured fading profile.
