Introduce Yourself Here

Hey everyone,
Got interested in denim about 3 years ago while in college. Eventually became aware of IH but was in no place get anything so I lurked the forums instead. Found a job and moved back to Austin, TX. A lot of cotton farmers here in Texas turn cotton into money, figured I would go against the grain and turn my money into cotton. Currently have about 15 assorted IH pieces and love wearing them here despite the heat. I used this forum extensively when deciding which pieces to priotize, thank you everyone for the fantastic content here.
Here are my favorite (still pretty new) jeans-634S in 14 oz, along with the benefactor of all the miles I've walked to work on those fades.

@Vestcoast hi there, and welcome
This is very funny:

This warms my heart immensely:

Hi IH forum dwellers!
Greetings from the cold north (Finland). I have been stalking the forum because needed to get more info on my first to be IH product, the IHSW-23 Hoodie on black, seems like something I have been after for a while. While finding a lot of good info on that particular product I noticed that there's a ton of other interesting stuff in here aswell + friendly atmosphere. So seems like a nice place to gather info about quality stuff.
Not really an avid "collector" of clothes any more -used to be quite heavily into streetwear etc in the beginning of this millenium, but nowadays I just enjoy well designed and crafted things over the hyped out stuff so I think this forum is quite good tool for that.

So glad to have finally found Iron Heart clothing. At 6’7” tall my clothing choices are limited at best. All I want are quality duds that fit. With Iron Heart, I’ve been able to find numerous pieces that not only fit, but fit really, really, flatteringly well! This, along with the excellent customer service, the forum, and the companies ethics, combine to create a brand that I’m proud to be associated with. Not to mention how great these jeans look!
Anyways… I’m still kind of new to the forum. I’m from the mighty Midwest, Iowa, USA, after a ten year stint in Humboldt Co. CA. I’m a musician and a 2nd Shift Lead at an employee owned manufacturing facility. I have 3 cats and a little dog and a wonderful wife who supports my denim habits. Here’s a pic of me and my pup on a snowy day wearing my indigo m65 field jacket and a pair of PIHXHS. Hickory stripe shirt unseen under jacket[emoji41]

Welcome @Smiladon

Welcome buddy… thank you for the great intro. I like the sound of an employee owned manufacturing facility. What do you guys make?
The company is called Metalcraft. Our bread and butter these days is in making RFID tags for various uses, like inventory tracking, and temperature and moisture sensors. We make a lot of clothing tags too, like the ones that will set off an alarm if you try and steal clothing without paying first. It’s fairly interesting stuff. Here’s a pic of me running my machine. I think I’m making car wash tags here[emoji2371]

I'm amazed that at 6'7" you still have cuffs on those jeans
Great shot, great outfit! Welcome!
Thanks! That’s a big reason why I love Iron Heart! They fit large enough for me to cuff. I need at least a 36” inseam and most of their cuts have a couple pairs that reach or exceed that measurement. I love the look of PBJ fabric and I’ve been fortunate to find one pair that started off at a little over 37” before soaking but not many other Japanese brands offer the inseams that I need. I’ve also found many shirts and jackets from iron heart that fit my tall frame perfectly

Hi there IH folks!
Been sniffing around here for some time now and it isn’t that polite doing that without a proper introduction, so here we go.
I am a 45yr old guy living in the Amsterdam area together with my gf Ingrid, during week days I live on my boat in the Groningen area wich is in the north of The Netherlands. I work in ICT business providing Cloud based telephone solutions to larger scale companys and callcenters, yes it is a very busy time for us right now…
It’s Nudie Jeans that got me interested in raw selfedge denim, I bought my first Nudie in the year of their introduction en have been loyal to the brand up until I bought my first pair of IH in september last year. Since then the brand got me hooked.
I am a sporty person, in winter I speedskate and in summer inline skating and racebiking I also love canoeing and like to SUP.
I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback, her name is Yakini she is besides me on the picture.
You are of course interested in what I’m wearing in the picture. A Saint James sailers hat, Pike Brothers Peacoat, IHSH-62-ind, IH-555-02, Wesco boots.

Quick (re) introduction here as I haven't been active on the forum for a while.
I'm Arlo, 38 and live in Ghent, Belgium. Some of you might remember me (Hi Giles, hi Paula!)
I used to have a small shop a couple of years ago and was an IH dealer at the time, but I closed it and my life took another turn, and so did my finances, hence the lack of my forum presence (IH stuff is soooooo tempting)Nowadays I work on a freelance basis at Porsche restorers and sometimes work on some other brands (re)placing headliners and such, I'm not getting rich but I love what I do (most of the times that is)
