@simon626:
hey everyone,
thanks to my old friend riffblaster general i have found my way to this site.
when he showed me iron heart a couple of months ago i laughed it off saying something like "yeah right i would never spend that much on a pair of jeans".
well i guess i stand corrected after my visit to self edge in SF two weeks ago.
i put on a pair of 301's and immediately knew i was hooked.
all in all i went to the store two times during my stay and bought a pair of 301`s and two IH flanels much to the dismay of my credit card.
i have never worn anything more comfortable and smart looking.
thanks riffblaster general and hello to everyone here!Congrats on your new IH purchases! I'm sure you will obsess over this clothing like the rest of us. Fit pics!
i have to say that obsession has already taken over.as soon as i have some nice pics i`ll post them,simon.just a little more breaking in;)

Hi everyone,
I found the website after doing some general searches on denim after reading William Gibson's latest book, Zero History, which has an interesting 'secret brand' theme around denim. Looks like there's a few Aero Leather fans on here as well which is great, I practically live in my HH Barnstormer this time of year onwards. I'm a big chap, so I don't know if the jackets here will fit or not (my 48" Aero Highwayman is snug but my Barnstormer in the same size is fine, and I wear a 48" suit jacket) but it looks like there are plenty of posts here to help!
Thanks in advance!

welcome michael!
I'm going to need to get my hands on a copy of the WG book ASAP. Didn't know about the denim history angle, but it sounds legit and very interesting. A convo about Pattern Recognition was one of my first few around here, so feel at home!
Good to have ya.Oh, and get at Giles if you wanted the IH/Aero special treatment.

Thanks for the welcome! I had dinner with Gibson last week through work and he's a really nice guy. I don't want to spoil anything in the new book, but read Spook Country first if you haven't already, all three of the Bigend (starting with Pattern Recognition) books are linked.
Having said that, he's now responsible for my current denim quest, so he's got a lot to answer for!
