Hi everyone!
Did some selvedge denim googling on Sunday to finally know what the heck the fuss is all about and found this brand and forum. Ended up buying my first pair of selvedge denim and IH was the brand I went with. I’m from Hawaii so got the lighter 14 oz. in the 777 cut.

Great first IH purchase with your 14oz 777's and welcome to the IH forum @RoxRocks86
-
Hi, I’m from Hawaii… so got the lighter 14 oz. in the 777 cut.
Boom! Congratulations and welcome to the forum.
If you enjoy the 14oz then consider the 21oz too. Thick and heavy but performs well in warmer climates due to a loose weave.
Also look out for @Matty123 He does love Hawaii [emoji1]

Shoots!!! @RoxRocks86 welcome to the forum! @neph93 speaks the truth. I do love Hawaii. . What island are you on? Wife and I own a studio in Kihei, Maui that we rent as a vacation rental. We have a rental in Kapaa as well.we hope move there in the future. There’s lots of information and opinions about cuts and heat factor on this forum. Good luck braddah.
Aloha -
Thanks for the welcome guys!
Definitely interested in snagging a pair of 21 oz @neph93. Everyone’s been saying that it’s super soft and seems to be an all around fave. Can’t wait to get my hands, I mean legs in pair!
Sup @Matty123!!! Where you from? You and your wife visit often? You guys definitely chose great locations as rentals. I’m on Oahu, but due to work have travelled to the different islands. Frequented Kauai the most tho as the last company I was with was located there. It’s definitely my favorite island hands down!

@RoxRocks86 hey bro. We live on the east coast in Connecticut. We get out to Hawaii once a year for 3 weeks to a month. We plan on moving there in the next 3 years if everything works out. Yeah Kauai is great. We were just out there’s for 3 weeks in October/November. Half the time on Maui and other half on Kauai. Wish we could get out there more often. Where on Oahu do you live? I’ve spent a few days on Oahu. Went to pipematsers in 2016 and a day or two in Waikiki (which is a crazy place) this past trip. Lucky you live Hawaii! How did you come across Iron Heart?
-
@Matty123 Awesome, it must feel like coming home everytime you guys come back! Hope your future plans to move work out too, you’ll be on permanent vacation mode! Yeah Waikiki is interesting. Whether that’s good or bad it’s up to the individual. I personally don’t like going out there. I’m on the west side of Oahu.
Found Iron Heart while searching for Red Wing shoes on instagram 1 wk ago. Needed new work boots. Saw tons of hashtags on selvedge denim, googled it and came across different comments and threads. Quite a bit mentioned IH as quality stuff so came here and was surprised to find that IH had an active and very helpful forum. Bought jeans that night. Still in need of new work boots, guess they’re gonna have to wait as I’m planning on getting a few more pairs of IH’s.
Btw I’m female ;). But no worries I don’t get offended easily. You can call me bruh, dude, whatever. Just wanted to make sure there was no confusion there.

Welcome @RoxRocks86
-
@RoxRocks86 right on. Yeah it sure does feel like going home. Can’t wait to be back in south maui. Body surfing at Big Beach
What do you do for work if you don’t mind my asking. I’m in the construction business and redwings and IH make me think you’re somewhere around ithat industry as well. If that’s the case then it’s good you found iron heart!
-
@matty123 You thinking of moving Kihei? That place reminds me of the mainland. Monkey pod is bomb tho! & yeah I am in construction. You in the trades, gc, or…?
Excited to see what kind of a beating these jeans can take!
-
Monkey pod is ono! my friend used to be a pastry chef there and gave me the recipe for the strawberry cream pie! i made 3 of them for the holidays. yeah we'd start in kihei but we'd probably move over to haiku or paia. maybe upcountry.. makawao or kula. but haiku would be great.
i do site work and excavation. commercial work mainly.
im dying for plate lunch. made kalua pork for my wife this past weekend. aint no saimin around here…. haha. i wish.
-
Ho braddah @Matty123 you know how fo’ grind, ah!!! Saimin is easy! You guys no more one Asian isle in the grocery store or one china town nearby?? Just get top ramen throw some sliced spam, egg and green onion inside. Or if you’re able to get char siu and fishcake then you can make it more local restaurant quality.
-
Yeah sista! @RoxRocks86 Char siu! Now I want some char siu Manapua! Choke manapua!
That saimin recipe sounds like a winner. There’s one Asian store near me. They’ll have most of the stuff I need. I won’t make it as good as L&L or da kitchen in kahalui but it’ll do! Thanks for the advice! Can’t wait to get back to Hawaii.

Hi y'all…
I'm based in Cologne, Germany and I've been at it since only a couple of months with the help of the good people at Kentaurus Denim Shop. Lots of info to digest... having fun !
Best, Paul

Hi y'all…
Welcome Paul.
Lots of info here, if you need pointing in the right direction, just ask. It can be intimidating.
