Iron Heart Brand History

Heavy Duty

Where's the background story of the brand? ???

Beatle

will follow…every bits of history..focusing on the products right now - but I´m sure at one point Haraki-san will elaborate on the how Iron Heart became Iron Heart story...

Beatle

and some more historical flicks

evolved

Beatle

and new arcs an stitched W

I hope I´m not alone on this one - but I actually do prefer the new arcs and the stitched W

Definitely prefer the new look. Why copy Levi's if you can come up with something better?

ADDIC

God, I just love that original patch. I wish I could get/buy one by itself somehow.

@simon626:

I honestly like the new ironheart arcs and red dubya. I mean, i'd much much rather someone look at my jeans and think, "Damnnn Ironheart" versus "Oh, some levis…"

Essatamente!

deadendpro

The new ones are really nice too though

I agree. The red W is a nive subtle touch, the OG patch is kinda cheesy but there is something about it i actually quite like.

Seul

Absolutely love the red W. And the half arc stitching on collabs.

Dchill

I have to admit I like the latest version the most.

Beatle

yap, me too…but the inspirational cowboy tearing jeans levi´s adaption was also a nice idea...

Giles

I may be able to source one for you Simon…G

Dchill

Simon, you should frame it as an homage to IH!

i love the decal on the original patch

The first jeans were the 634 (non selvedge) or similar. Shirts did not happen until about 5 years ago. When I started working with Haraki about 6 years ago, there were the models on offer:

IH-634
IH-461
IH-1634
IH-1461
IH-634S
IH-526J
IH-527J
IH-1527J

That's all….G

That's amazingly focused - love it!.. Thanks for the info, Giles!..

Guessing the last couple of years IH has been really growing as a brand then!.. Autumn 2k10 and spring 2k11 will have so many new items, and buyers!..

I got a one sentence history of iron heart:

Lookin good, yesterday, now and forever (all with the same pair of jeans)

Giles

Just got gospel from Haraki.

Whilst the holding company Works Inc has been around for some time, Iron Heart as a brand was not created until 2005.

The first pair of Iron Heart jeans to come out of the work shop were IH-634 in March of that year.

Gilbertt

any idea what that pair looks like now?
