The Iron Heart IH-777S-SLBod in 16oz Slubby Japanese selvedge denim Indigo Overdyed Black 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 slim tapered cut jeans, made from 16oz slubby selvedge denim. This heavily textured denim is woven with an uneven hand on both the face and reverse (think off the scale loom-chatter), but at the same time, is incredibly soft and comfortable to wear. To create this darkened variation, we take a pair of standard IH-777S-SLB jeans and steep the entire garment in black dye using a direct dyeing process. This stains the indigo denim and stitching, with the added bonus of removing all shrinkage from the fabric. A unique middle ground between our traditional indigo and black denims, over time the fabric will gradually fade with blue-tinged hues in high-wear areas.

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 777 features a slim fit through the top block with a noticeable taper from the knee down. It offers a more modern shape compared to Iron Heart’s traditional straight cuts, while still maintaining a structured, heritage feel.

Who This Is For

Ideal for those who want a contemporary, tapered fit without moving into ultra-slim territory. Suited for those who appreciate visible fabric character and a more textured fading profile.
