    • RE: Dehen

      This is my first time posting so fit pics so don’t judge too hard. I had to set the timer up and use my front camera from a low angle…I guess this is the angle my children see 😄

      The new flyers club Jacket is a M, fits really well and I took a picture of the lining which now has some insulation.

    • RE: Introduce Yourself Here

      Hello, I thought about doing this for a while but never did. I am Tim and I'm South African but I have been living in Hamburg with my family for nearly 8 years. We moved here for work, not the weather, but the weather does give me a chance to wear some great stuff including many items from Iron Heart. I've been a fan of Iron Heart for a few years and I've slowly been building up a nice collection but I haven't really posted on the forum much, I've been lurking in the shadows until @goosehd convinced me to start posting. Please direct you complaints directly to @goosehd 🙂

      Thanks for having me and please try not to make anything really cool for a while.

    • RE: Y'2 Leathers….

      I‘ve been looking at leather jackets for far too long and finally settled on this PR-65. It‘s my personal favourite jacket layout and doesn‘t make me feel like I should get a motorcycle. Yet. It‘s also pretty simple at the back, there are no adjusters of any kind.

      I actually sent this back to Cultizm after it first came, felt like the jacket was wearing me even though it‘s ‚light weight‘ 😄 after I returned it, instant regret set in and after some encouraging words from @FlavourFade I asked Cultizm to send it back to me which they did free of charge. Champs right there!

      I went with a 40 which is my regular size, don‘t plan to layer it much besides a shirt. Happy to hear what you all think of the fit; personally I am happy, it‘s pretty rigid but I know it‘ll get softer and less shiny. I know to layer heavy stuff under I would need a 42, but I have an N1 so I don‘t think it‘s needed.

    • RE: Dehen

      @Brandrea @Mizmazzle They were great, I emailed them and they spoke to their production and came back to me today with a shipping label and asked me to send it back to them to repair.

      Hats off to Dehen, they did good. Their stuff is great and I'm happy to see they also fix defects without a question.

    • RE: Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?

      Blanket Lined Duck Canvas Jacket

      Hello!

      I have been a fan of the forum and IH for years and I have many great items which I am absolutely loving. I have waited in the shadows for a particular jacket for a few years but I have never seen it. I now feel compelled to ask about this jacket and I am really curious to know why IH doesn't do something like this.

      The jacket I so love is a blanket lined duck canvas jacket (brown, black or blue). I had the original Carhartt Detroit but the fit is not on point for me. I currently own the Carhartt WIP version which is, in my opinion, a really nice interpretation of the original jacket. However, it's modernized for the masses and is somewhat 'streetware' which means it has some short comings.

      I searched the forum but I could not find a topic like this so here it is:
      Would IH ever make, or has IH ever made, a blanket lined duck canvas jacket with a corduroy collar. I do own the whipcord jacket which has the cord collar and ventile lining which absolutely rips (IHJ-61), but it's not warm enough for Hamburg.

      Since you asked for my opinion, I would say that jacket (IHJ-61) without the button at the hem, and perhaps with a single slit breast pocket, made from the 17oz duck canvas and lined with the blanket lining from the 101J in both black and brown would mean I will likely never ever take it off ever again. I'll show myself out now.

      Thanks!

    • RE: IHSH-342-OD - Ultra Heavy Flannel Crazy Check Work Shirt - Navy Overdyed Black

      This is the best flannel you have made. It's an overdyed version of the best colour way from the season (IMO), which I never bought because I'm too black metal to wear so many colours! It's so good and it looks different in different lights; my wife thinks I have two of these depending on how sunny it is.

      I know this is a random post but this shirt needs some extra love; so happy these exist!

    • RE: Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?

      Maybe this has been suggested before, but what about a black version of the 101J-SR with the black 14oz sulfur dyed denim and a dark brown cord collar and a wool blend lining.

    • RE: IHSH-374-IND - 14oz Double Cloth Work Shirt - Indigo

      I was just perusing the site, as one does, and noticed there are still all the sizes on this one. How!?

      I saw this shirt at Burg and Schild in Berlin, and although I managed to get myself out of the store without it I didn't make the train ride home before placing the order. This is hands down tied for the best shirt I bought last year. What did it tie with you are thinking? It's the 342-OD; I wanted a overdyed flannel for a long time and literally rushed to the Hamburg store when you released those.

      My advice: buy this shirt and give yourself a pat on the back for the excellent choice you made

    • RE: IHJ-124-BLK - 10oz Herringbone Work Jacket - Black

      Looking at this seasons work jackets got me excited about wearing this again in the summer. I wore it a lot last summer, it's the perfect over a T-shirt and I had to give it a wash at the end of summer which actually showed a lot of the wear on this one. I was expecting the herringbone fabric to not show the wear much but your can definitely see it was worn. It's not that it has indigo like fades, but it certainly doesn't look new anymore.

    • RE: Adidas

      Bringing this back from the dead. I‘ve been looking at the Spezial made in Germany version and wondered if anyone already tried them and can comment on the quality of materials etc compared to the made in Vietnam version.

      I tried the regular made in Vietnam version on at a store and the fit and feel of the shoe on my feet was great but in my hand, I wouldn‘t really say it‘s worth 110€ full price. One can find these on sale for less which makes it more appealing but recently I‘ve had sneakers dying on me at a rapid rate after only 1 season. Looking for a pick up which will last a few years.

    • RE: Vans

      Vans always has great stuff but recently they have started to fall apart really quickly, especially the authentic. That said, it‘s still my favourite summer shoe. They did some heavy duck canvas ones last season, those are cool!

    • RE: Random Rants

      Can I just complain about the quality of Vans these days. I‘ve been wearing them for years and specifically the authentic shoe; I love a simple canvas shoe for the summer and I‘ve had a lot of them. Now, I know vans isnt exactly a top tier shoe, but for a summer shoe it‘s fine.

      In the past, I‘ve blasted through the top of the canvas with my big toe because apparently I‘m an aggressive walker, but by the time this happens I‘ve worn the sole almost out. However, last year and this year the shoe breaks where ever there is glue. It just comes apart and I don‘t even wash them. The rubber pulls away from the canvas and the side pulls away from the sole underneath. It litterally takes a few squats and and day of walking and it‘s already starting.

      WTF mate.

    • RE: Y'2 Leathers….

      Cool, thanks guys! Holding out to see if this one gets the sale treatment on Cultizm. Sizing wise, these run pretty true to size and soften up nicely I would assume?

    • FS: ONI 17oz Kasuri Coverall

      This is a wonderful denim coverall from Oni in a 17oz denim. I love the look of this but I just don’t wear it so best to make some space for other things I don’t need.

      Asking 250€ + shipping and I am happy to ship it to where ever you are.

      It’s a size 42 but it fits smaller, more like a 40/ M.
      Pit to pit: 55cm
      Shoulder: 45cm
      Arm: 60cm
