Hello everyone, I’m having a hard time finding the best iron heart cut for my body type. I am 5’6 180lbs ish, with real broad shoulders.
Here I have pictured first a pair of 634 in the 21oz. I actually like the weight and feel of these jeans. I love that they’re the IH OG denim. (A little baggy off the bat tho)They’re comfortable but I feel like they’re almost too big, these are a size 36, and I feel like the 34” would be too small. ( I am doing a slow and steady weight cut right now but I still want jeans to feel comfortable all the way throughout regardless of weight fluctuating). The waist of all my jeans measures out to a 35”. I’m a size 34 in my wrangler 13MWZ.
Next I have pictured the 888s in a size 35 which is hard to find apparently, 14oz and I’m only using those for cut and size reference as I’m looking for a 21oz or 25oz. The 35 fit snug on the waist but well everywhere else, I heard these stretch like 1” with wear. I don’t know if I should stick with a high rise like the wranglers or go to a mid rise like the 634s since all my jeans slide down below my belly as I start to move, sometimes I end up with the saggy diaper look because the high rise rides too low. I don’t know if I suit the taper cut due to my shoulders and height proportion issue or if it actually makes me look better. Lastly I have a picture of where my wrangler high waist jeans WANT to sit on my body, so you guys can understand what I’m getting at.
I do not want to look stumpy, and I don’t want to look like a dorito with a taper that goes slim. I have a pair of brave star Mojave western cut so I want this to be my all around jean. I wear mostly cowboy boots and engineer boots. Not interested in 555,666, or 777 either. I have considered the 633s from self edge but I haven’t tried those on so I can’t speak much on those. Aside from the fact that the 25oz doesn’t have any design on the back pockets which is a massive bummer. Waiting to hear your guys thoughts on what size and cut! Thanks in advance.
