Saw someone that could have been Giles at my Whole Foods in California. Wearing all new-looking Iron Heart gear and some custom Jobmasters that didn't even look broken in yet. o_O

Was not me….... My shit never looks new.....:D

I think your 666 18OZ Vintage looked new for about 20 minutes.

I was trying to be careful

@mclaincausey - feel free to stop by and introduce yourself sometime if you ever find yourself in Boulder! I was actually talking about this with my roommates this morning. To be honest, I didn't even know this information until the results were already pouring in. Like you said, bravo to the opposition for not stepping there.

I stopped into Self Edge LA today to look at some Good Art Hollywood rings.  I love the lock of the rocklock ring but my fingers are just too thin to sport this manly chunk of silver.  If you have a ring size of 11, you should pick this guy up!

While I was there, I asked if they had the IHSH-177.  I have the IHSH-178 in a large but always suspected I should have picked up a medium instead.  Sure enough, the IHSH-177 medium fit like a dream.  I ended up walking out of the store with the IHSH-178 in a medium and now I have to sell my IHSH-178 in large.  So much stuff to sell…

I did notice that this particular IHSH-178 had silver/grey (not shiny) buttons compared to the copper buttons of my IHSH-178.  Did those change between batches?

[Jett129]

I think they overdyed them resulting in the silver color.

@Jett129:

The buttons themselves are overdyed?!  That's bananas!  How does one overdye a button?? I figured the fabric was overdyed first then sewn together, buttons added much later in the process, so that the fabric overdye process wouldn't affect the buttons.

[Jett129]

I guess I said it wrong. The buttons are left on during the OD process resulting in the silver color. If I have this wrong,someone please correct me.

Jet's right- the overdyeing happens after the garment is made.  It's a pretty aggressive process, with lots of heat, agitation, and chemicals, so sometimes the hardware changes appearance significantly.

Well ain't that something!  TiL!

Something totally unexpected happened today.  I was having lunch and a guy walked by with big cuffs in his jeans. I noticed they were selvedge, so I glanced up to see what brand.  He was wearing Iron Heart!  This is the first time I've ever spotted IH in the wild.  I was so stunned, I didn't even say anything.

[Matty123]

thats awesome. i would have said something for sure. awkwardness would have ensued.

[Jett129]

I’ve said something all 3 times I saw someone, and the other person always was cool with it.
