IHSH 412 BLK

634s ib
Viberg

I was away overnight with work. When I came home today, Ziggy didn’t want to let me go too far!!

Another Ziggy here!
Friday is his day for coming in to the office with me.

Viberg service boot

Viberg service boot, ih 634 ib

Both at the start of the evolution journey!

My collection, left to right:
Cheaney chukka Mahogany grain; Viberg Service boot #8 cxl (new boots, I blame browsing this forum for this purchase !!); RM Williams Blaxland chestnut yearling; RMWilliams comfort craftsman chocolate kangaroo; Blundstones; Altberg Farmington hiking boots.
Onlooker is Ziggy, wondering why I’m wasting time taking pictures of boots instead wearing them and taking him out!!

Not sure if this should go in here or the ‘Pets’ forum
Viberg service boot #8 CXL and a bored Ziggy!

Hi, a bit of a delayed introduction considering I registered on the forum in November!
Live in Mid Wales, my first foray into Japanese selvedge was around 9 years ago with a pair of Hiut’s. Liked that they were made in Wales and the back story with the factory. Ended up with some more black Japanese selvedge Hiut jeans.
The ‘made in Japan’ journey started with a couple of pairs of The Real McCoy Joe McCoy chinos and a 9oz hoodie.
My first Iron Heart was a pair of 634 ib in November (actually, my very first pair was a 666 in i/I but that was swapped for the 634 as the fit felt better).
This was then followed by registering with the forum and losing myself in a world of possibilities, which has the potential to be very expensive!!
I treated myself to a natural cordovan wallet in December, my only other IH purchase being the IHSH 412 Black.
Looking at either a 634 in non fade black or the brown duck next, as they would do for work, not sure which would be best; but a UHF shirt would be good as well, and a, well there is a lot of ‘ands’ really !!

@JoshC

Thanks for confirming. The ‘standard’ 32 measurement looked ideal for me so, hopefully, will be ok.
Looking forward to next week to have them but not looking forward to explaining to my better half why another pair of iron heart bottoms have arrived in less than 2 weeks since the 634sb !!

@peng
I hope it’s the ones on first post on this thread otherwise I have made a mistake with my order.

I think I’m lucky in that the Tage looks just about perfect. I’ve been looking forward to these coming back in stock

Edit to correct autocorrect : should be ‘tag32’ . Note to self, proof read before hitting ‘submit ‘!

@Tago-Mago said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:

@Cymro what do you mean by "better"? Better than checking with the crew? Highly unlikely. It also depends on the individual measurements of an item, as well as the cut you are looking at. Overall, too many variables to give a definitive answer imo

Sorry, did not mean better than checking. What I meant was would it be more likely for the IH crew find ing a ‘small’ version of a size or a ‘large’ version if Iwas looking for the ‘in between’ sweet spot on the measurement.
I thought that what they did for me was really fantastic and i really appreciated it, and, even though I haven’t got many IH items, I’ve realised to check measurements and ignore the Tag Size!
I was thinking of future orders (which there undoubtedly will be some!!)

Having had the IH crew help with getting a pair of the 634 SB, it got me wondering, for future reference: If I’m between sizes (tag 31 and 32 for example) and am fussy/ awkward/ particular (delete as appropriate! ) is there a better chance of finding a larger 31 or a smaller 32?
Probably the answer is: “it depends “!

Thanks to the IH crew for helping with my sizing queries and for measuring and finding a ‘small’ tag 32 for me. New sizing very similar to the tag31 634 S 142ib I have. Think I will need to get it hemmed but will wear it for a while and let it settle first.

So does the Manthey

And the Manthey would have a built in heat source underneath the picnic bench to keep the pizza warm!

Now works for me, ‘clicking’ the banner / picture at top of forum page takes me to the shop. Thanks for sorting it

I’m on an iPad, must admit I’ve never tried from laptop.

Not an issue with the forum, more of a request (sorry if posting in wrong place)
Would it be possible to have a link to the main Iron Heart site from the forum, the same as there is to access the forum from the website?
Thanks
