          Should get the IH-Cleanwipe service, where your order history is wiped clean after every order, for a nominal donation fee 😉

            Hi everyone; 'Random questions…' seems like the most appropriate place to ask this:

            On Wesco lace-up boots, what's origin/function of the fanned leather 'tassle' one sees emerging from beneath the laces? Any relation to the similar-looking things one sees on old-fashioned golf shoes?

            Actually, while I'm here, one more: has anyone ever had any bad experiences accidentally dyeing bath enamel by soaking your new strides? I've recently purchased a pair of indigo/indigo 666s, but I'm staying with my sister-in-law for a few weeks and desperate though I am to soak 'em and get on my way, I'm equally keen not redecorate her lovely bathtub… I appreciate I could just use a big bucket or something, but to my mind it just doesn't have the same romance…

              Unless the enamel is really old, scoured and matt, then there should be no long lasting staining.  That's why enamel is used for baths and the like.

              Kilties are to protect the tongue from getting chewed up by the laces when they are covered in grit, dirt and sand.

                Then tonight I shall get my soak on – thanks, Giles!

                And, yes, I see now – a muddy/gritty grinding paste would be perfect for destroying the tongue – thanks, again.

                A most useful thread…

                      Do any of you run into other IH fans in your town? If so, do you give them the ole nudge nudge, wink wink or do you engage them and geek out over their UHF? I have never seen anyone here wearing IH, but then again, i'm a hermit and spend all of my spare time with my boy rather than out socialising at a bar or wherever

                            I,totally,engage them and geek out. Only seen 3 in NYC,none of which have been forum members. Yes,I asked all of them. They were all cool with it,although a non IH person who I was with one of the times was totally bewildered.

                                    This is true. One of these weekends we should meet at Jester King.

                                    You come down to Lincoln Heights for tacos?  Gotta admit, I eat at Zushi Sushi more often than Torchy's.

                                      I know @Dishelveled is in Seattle as well as some others but I have literally never seen another person wearing IH in Seattle.  When I got my XHS hemmed at Blue Owl shortly after buying them the owner, Jay, said he sees a pair come through on a regular basis but I've definitely never seen any in the wild.

                                        The only other person I have seen in london whilst out and about was @Davito on holiday. A true gentleman indeed! Never seen anyone else in the wild without having arranged to meet them.

                                          There are two other guys here in my town who wear Iron Heart that I met. One lives in the same district and I tried to start a conversation once, but he seemed quite irritated about it, so I ignore him now.

                                          The other one walks by occasionaly sporting a shacket and a jeans, but never stops to geek out about IH gear. 🙂

                                            Same as the rest of you guys… I've NEVER seen another soul wearing IH, and I've only had someone recognize that I'm wearing IH once... And, it was AWKWARD... Or, maybe I'm awkward (I definitely AM)... I'm actually already "stressing" about the Kanreki meet-up.....
