          Hello! I’ve been browsing these forums for a month or so now, I guess its time to join in, seems like a nice friendly place  🙂

          Confession time : I don’t (yet) own any IH jeans. It’s a brand I always promised myself but can’t seem to make the commitment to breaking in that heavy weight denim! I very nearly pulled the trigger on a pair of the 5th Anniversary 21/23oz in SE NYC last week but got side tracked by some Canes instead, please don’t hold it against me.  😞

          A pair of jeans pretty much breaks in by the 14th wear. At least, that's how long it took for me to break in my IH301S. I sized down one since the jeans stretch 1 around an inch. NO real pain…just beautiful agony  😉 😉

          broken in by the 14th wear - really!! With 14oz denim I reckon it takes me about 3 months of average wear to set the creases? Decent fades take forever, I've got far to much denim in rotation!  😎

            i think simon626 meant that the denim sits better/more comfortable within 14 days, not that his creases were locked into position in 2 weeks.

                    First post  🙂

                    Lurked here a bit over the last year or so (mainly just stare at product shots) yet I only own one IH item which I've had about 6 months, the IH634s which I actually bought slightly used but got it at a 1/4 of the price so I'm pretty happy. Great jeans.

                    I found out about them over a year ago when I went looking online for parts for my W650 on Japanese sites and while browsing stumbled across them and had to get a pair somehow.

                    The price on them new pretty much killed that idea so I waited and waited til I found a used pair for sale on sufu. I'd get a new pair now but still that price… even then I was only able to justify it to the wife at that lowly price by telling her how much safer they are, lol. $150 shipped for a slightly used pair is dirt cheap but when you're used to buying $40 Levis it's still pretty high.

                    Thank god I got them sized for riding and not sized for picture posing since they are a bit big and if I posted fit pics I'd be told I should have "horrible fit, size down 2" but damn comfortable for actually riding. I can't imagine why some people would buy them a few sizes too small but to each his own. I have another pair of 21oz jeans I wear more for work which are nice as well (better made in my opinion) but the IHs are way for comfortable and are better in cold weather riding.

                    Great site and great products. Hopefully I can squirrel money away from the wife and save for some more IH gear.

                            Thanks for the welcome.

                            This board looks like it is more to my tastes after actually reading a lots of posts rather than just browsing products. Sufu I feel too old for and SF is too "snobbish" and pretentious for me even though I love to browse those 2 sites.

                            My tastes run between the two with slight hint of my hillbilly/white trash roots… I like the clothes but tend to not like many of the attitudes of the people who frequent those sites  🙂  I'm not a "fit snob" or a brand whore I just like what I like.

                            This place seems alright  😉

                              Hey eczerwonka, how about an IH fit pic of you on your bike, we've not had many of them. No prob if you don't want to, but your bike looks cools (not that I know jack shit about bikes).

                                SF has the best B/S section in my opinion. Done so many a great deals over there. Really nice and professional sellers. I try to buy from more reputable, 'senior' members only, though. And what d'ya know… I myself am now a 'senior' member...  🙂

                                Anyhow, I digress: welcome, lad!..

                                  I have a couple of me next to the bike but none of me on it since I don't think I could ask anyone to "take a pic of me on the bike" without them wondering why… and if I told them they would think I was nuts 🙂  I'll try and dig them up tonight.

                                  edit: ok here are a couple bad pics

                                      Hi Everyone…

                                      By the name you may think of all kinds of images from a sci fi. Well in some respects you'd be spot on. Yet, there's a cooler, and more philosophical meaning to my name. Anyway, I wanted to say how impressed I am with Iron Heart jeans, and approach to denim design. I'm a gamer, who digs fashion, writes about the world the way he sees it, and love to relate to people who have something to say about life. Hopefully this post finds you all in good spirits, and I plan to be around contributing.  😉
