Where does everyone live?

Hi all,
Been lurking on the forum for a while so I thought it was about time to pop my head in and say hello.
I've been into selvedge and workwear for a few years now when I first discovered it in Sydney.
I'm now back in the UK which means I've been able to indulge myself a bit more as there's a bit more variety and a lot less postage!I don't actually have any IH gear at the moment but I'm looking to remedy that very shortly. I'm currently rotating 2 pairs of Albam 13oz jeans along with a pair of N&F midnight blues as well as some badly in need of repair Crafteds.
I look forward to getting my first pair of heavy duty IH's very soon as the weather in London seems to be just about perfect for them at the moment.

Hello!
I live in Stockholm but am originally from London.
No IH jeans just yet…I'm trying hard to remedy this in my quest to find a pair of jeans that are comfortable and last a long while. I'm tired of Levis developing holes in the crotch after 3 or 4 months. The 501 cut is absolutely perfect for me, though, and finding something that is pretty much the same but made out of high quality denim is not an easy task.
My current denim stable includes: Levis 501 blue (USA made, still going strong, not worn all that often), Gap black jeans (rubbish), Naked & Famous black (worn every day, still in great condition after 6 months), Levis 501 black (USA, in good condition) and then about 10 pairs of ruined black 501s.
In what little spare time I have, I play bass and adore building instruments; I have put together all my instruments in some way or another. I work in international sales and my N&F jeans have been to Holland (twice), France (twice), Finland, the UK and Germany (twice) since I've had them. They should be coming to Holland again in the next couple of weeks.
I'm happy to be here. [Edit for a typo]

Happy to have you here. But be careful….over 20 major variants of the 501....

Our 634S is similar to the '66 501
Our 1955S is similar to the (wait for it....) '55 501

Thanks, Giles. I'm torn between those two. The 634S looks perfect but I'm concerned the flies are a bit short. There are three buttons on my N&F and they just don't go down enough; I end up having to undo the waist too to pee. The four buttons on the 1955S look more like what I'm after, but they might also be a bit high in the waist.

^IH is a whole new ball game in terms of denim and construction. You will have to unbutton your fly, regardless. No worries, though. After you try a pair you'll wonder why you were ever concerned with something so trivial. If you're worried about the high waist, go with the 634s. It's the "classic" for a reason.

Backed.

That's me swayed. 634XHS it shall be!

Done. Excited!

XHS = Next Level Shit!

I should probably introduce myself since I recently made a couple of comments in some other threads and posted some pics of the first pair of Iron Heart jeans I purchased in early June (the 555-01). My IH collection has grown considerably since then
I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA, but I currently live in Athens, OH. I was in Los Angeles until about a year and a half ago. I've moved around a lot for graduate school and various teaching positions. I'll be leaving Athens for some form of civilization as soon as I can!
