The Evolution of Iron Heart

[Giles]

Grabbed this IHSH-16ss (Heavy Indigo Selvage Chambray Short Sleeve) off the rail to take into the office to give it the MOP pimp treatment:

And thought it warranted a couple of pics:

That looks like the standard IHSH-16 button though… Or am I missing something?..  :-\

In English, that is future tense…..Or in my bastardised version of my mother tongue, it was supposed to be.....

think seul is having a go at you.  shirt is coming along nicely.  i some how missed the xhs evo.  how the hell you do that?

& stan so sorry to not mention the great job you did on your 634sr's  i just tend to  not look back far enough

[Giles]

Easy, I sit on my arse and do feck all all day.  Ask Mme B

to take into the office

Missed that bit, suz. 

Any idea why the buttons on the 16 and 17 are different?.. Like the fake MOP ones on the 17, dislike the dull white ones on the 16… Perdy sure the crazy FH MOP ones will look FAB on the 16!..

[Giles]

Nope sorry Seul, dunno….

so good

Indeed. A shame that TW are a bit unloved or underestimated.

These were the first collab I did with Haraki. He designed the denim to my spec, had them made in the same factory and on the same production line as we make the 21+ ounce stuff.

The only reason that they are not branded Iron Heart is that Haraki wanted to (at that time), preserve the name Iron Heart for super heavy.  He now appreciates that maybe he was being a little dogmatic.

The denim on these is super… I have almost bought these several times but gotta be honest, the one thing I don't like is the back pockets

[madmonday]

what about them jaco?

the shape, the placement, come on spill it.

[jacoavlu]

they look disproportionately long, and the horizontal stitch (not sure if one would still call that an arc?)

[Giles]

That stitching holds the half lining in place…....I guess I could have done it in blue, but I like it the way it is....

[madmonday]

they used to come in a 35 (i think) so wish i bought them.

always liked them but soooo slow to pull the trigger. i need to find something to put in here as it seems only G is beating up his gear (from the past couple of posts)

And after the third wash. it´s crazy how they hold their indigo. I did a normal wash(1:30h) at 50 degrees.
