Introduce Yourself Here

Hello!
New member here; a lifelong 13mwz guy who jumped down the rabbit hole of high quality selvedge denim a few years ago. I recently made my very first Iron Heart purchase and love the quality and the range. I can't to add more pieces to my wardrobe and start the fading journey. Currently only own the IHSH-227-IND 12oz Wabash but I'm eager to add a pair of 888's to the mix, preferably the 25oz when they come back in stock! The wabash 12oz is unreal and I love it.
Currently have the Oni Asphalt, TCB Baggy 50's, and the Momotaro #400's in my rotation/daily wear. I've previously owned and tried Oni's secret denim and quite a few samurai and SDA jeans but sold them all as the cuts were not right for me sadly. I'm eager to learn from everyone here on the forum and eventually hopefully contribute some fade progress.
Cheers

@AskAxel Welcome! You came to the right place

I joined some time ago and have worn pairs of denim from some of the major players. ( Not yet Iron Heart) !
I recently bought another pair of samurais after not really seeing much available regarding Iron Heart , that I was keen on in a 34.
Perhaps next time.
I did however purchase the wesco foot patrol when that was happening.Nice to meet you

Hi all, new member here.
I'm Felix from London - currently at uni elsewhere, studying Maths & Philosophy. I'm nineteen, so probably on the younger end of the people in here!
I got into Japanese denim from my Dad, who used to run a denim 'blog' in the mid-2000s. He passed away a few years ago unfortunately, but he left behind stacks upon stacks of Japanese denim (all too large for me sadly) in his wardrobe.
I wonder if he was a customer of Iron Heart at all or if he was ever a part of this forum.
Anyway, I would say I'm pretty content with my collection of Japanese denim now after a year or so going down the rabbit hole. Initially, I started out buying second-hand via Vinted and eBay. Once I worked out what sort of cut and weight I like (straight and mid-heavyweight), I went and bought some pairs from Rivet & Hide. In my rotation currently, excluding second-hand purchases, are:
Iron Heart 21oz 634 IH-634S
Pure Blue Japan 14oz Indigo/Black XX-003-IDBK
Samurai 18oz 'Kinari' (Ecru) S510SC-KIThanks for reading! Looking forward to being a part of this forum!

Hi Guys
Chris here from Chadwick Belts..
my Iron Heart love has been reignited recently having lost of good amount of weight I put on during covid and since.....
I feel much more like "me" now and have celebrated that by obsessing over iron heart and emptying my bank account multiple times in the last couple of months buying from IH direct, Rivet & Hide and snapping up a few pre-owned items.
It is just wonderful gear. You just cannot beat anti fast-fashion high quality clothing.
If they come back into stock, my wish list includes the 21oz indigo CPO and the Olive whipcord type 3!! Keeping fingers crossed!
Anyway, hope you guys are all happy and healthy and I hope to speak to you soon!

Hi Richard here.
This is somewhat over due as I am new to iron heart.
Earlier this year, I decided to redo my wardrobe to focus more on quality than quantity. I am usually the type of person who researches for months before doing anything. Well my research led me here and I have now started replacing a good chunk of my clothes.
Being that I am from San Antonio, Tx, I do have to put up with our overly hot and dry summers where we are consistently above 100 degrees. I am lucky though that I do have a pretty lax dress code at work and that is where most of my wear comes from except for the lighter pieces I can possibly wear with shorts.
In my short time on this site I have the following items that I have either bought direct from IHUK or gone into a self edge store to try on before buying.
- 633s-18 vintage jeans(learned afterwards that I need higher rise. Still my everyday pair as I make it work)
- 888s-Sbg
- IHSH-438-IND
- SEXIH25-CPOOD restock
- SEXIH-BRCPO-BLK 13oz broken twill
- IHSH-443-IND
- IHSH-445-IND
- IHSH-438-PUR
- IHSH-442-SAX
I think I am pretty much done for shirts for the year as I really do not need anything more heavy as we really do not get cold or long winters.
I am planning on picking up the following jeans though to replace my 633s and finish my rotation.
- 888s-21OD
- 888-XHS
Other then that I will just be on the lookout for spring summer releases/ restocks that are on the lighter weight and can possibly be worn with shorts on the weekends. I do not foresee picking up any more CPO type shirts as I have a couple that I need to work on lol.
Excited to be apart of this community.

Sorry about your loss.
PM me his email address or let me know his name (if you want to his), and I can let you know

@Lukenstein Check our Corlection in Sydney, I have shopped from them pretty often and they have a great iron heart range. They also have some stuff available in 34 too

Hi everyone, I made this same post in the "Where does everybody live" thread - I hope crossposting to this thread is okay. Mods, apologies if it's not, feel free to delete - and apologies for any inconvenience.
I'm just dropping a quick introduction here. I go by Michel online, based in Europe - Belgium to be specific.
Used to spend a lot of time on SuperFuture, and wore my fair share of raws back in the day. Mostly stuff I picked up while in Japan, including SDA, Oni, Samurai, PBJ.
Got into classic menswear during the pandemic and spent a lot of time overhauling my wardrobe towards suits, sport coats, flannel trousers and the likes. Those serve me wonderfully at work, but I got the itch to start fading a couple of jeans again recently.
Just received up a pair of 634S in 21oz the other day, and they're amazing - everything about them is just pure quality. Europe might be going through a heatwave right now but I've got 21 oz on the legs in my home office.
Next pickup would be a pair of 888 once they restock. In fact, main reason I registered on the forum was to ask for sizing advice in going from the 634 to the 888 model; which I'll look for the appropriate thread for!

@M.EDS Welcome mate, the 634s-21 are amazing jeans, great first pair of IH. You can check the appropriate threads by using the search bar in the top right hand corner, or it it's easier on the product pages on the IHUK website there's a link to the products thread on the forum, there's loads of info here.
Summer is no joke being a denimhead, I'm waiting on the "easy shorts" restock to hopefully change it up from denim all the time.

Definitely not especially relevant to this thread, but I wanted to post a small follow-up to my intro.
I recently managed to find what I’m fairly certain was my Dad’s old profile on here - @dognobbler
He hadn't posted, but the username and an old SuFu profile using the same handle and profile icon that he always used, all line up.
It also looks like he did own at least one pair of Iron Hearts - the Self Edge x Iron Heart SEXIH07's - judging by an old SuFu post
Anyway, interesting to me - thought I'd share. Sorry to mods if this is clogging up the thread!
