      When I met mankarat in Singapore, I asked him what mankarat meant.  I have forgotten precisely, but something to do with rust or corrosion.

      Well it irks me that a fellow who contributes so much to the forum does not have an avatar, so I started to look for one for him.

      I googled images for mankarat - the guy owns the page…...

        lol…so i´d say mankarat has something to do with IH and not with rust or corrosion 😉

          It's been just over a year since I purchased my first piece of IH (IHSH-31). I'd just like to give a massive thanks to Giles & Paula (and of course Haraki & team) for being so friendly and helpful, and for helping me look sharp! I constantly get compliments on my shirts, jeans, jackets and shackets.
          I love this shit…
          Thanks to everyone here for the knowledge and entertainment. I'm not the most frequent poster by far- but I'm here most days. I've just bought a remote for my G12 and am about to move to a house with a garden, so will be trying to contribute more pics.
          There.
          Done.
          Out.

                On a sidenote… No matter how much I try to like other gear, it never works... Those two Flat Head chambrays I got?.. Lovely stuff, but the light fabric and poor fit (on me) throws me off... They're going on sale soon... Beige and red, size 42.

                Seriously: Iron Heart spoiled me, and raised the bar so high that nothing can top it imo...

                If Triple Works is gonna release some lighweight western chambrays and maybe some shorts (hey a man can dream!), then I'm seriously set for all seasons...

                  Yeah…...., Seul.  Flathead sizing really irks me  >:(.  I love to get my hands on a few, but they never fit me right either.  On the larger sizes, the shoulders are wide and it tapers drastically.  The length is short in many cases as well.

                    Gotta echo all the IH love going on here. It is a genuine pleasure to open my wardrobe every day and have a few second panic about what to wear. I worry about if I am neglecting a certain flannel, or if I have worn my 33 too much in the last month, ponder what to team my forum hoodie up with, lament the loss of freezing temperatures when I see my deck jacket hung up and unworn, smile with excitement at the crispy new 634's awaiting the end of the HWDC…...you get the picture.

                    To have this much love for the contents of my wardrobe, when it is basically dominated by one label, is testament to the quality, comfort, and versatility of what you guys (Haraki and his team, Giles and Paula) supply to us. We love it, and it's plain to see that you do too.

                                      mankarat means. 'man' is the end of my name Abdul Rahman. Karat in Malay means rust or corroded. Long time ago Friends gave me that name when he saw my bicycle got rust because of saltwater (i work at sea)

                                        My wife saw a picture in a magazine that inspired a new vision for our living room.  Guess who gets to rearrange the furniture, remount the plasma TV, reroute the cable and rewire the surround sound to bring said vision to life?
