        The overdyed 21oz is really amazing stuff, so you cannot go wrong there. Good plan.

          I've been a member for ages (first IH purchase was 634s in 2016) but have only posted a couple of times. I feel like I ought to contribute pics, but don't have a decent camera and haven't yet worked out a convenient way of taking photos. But here's one anyway - new 555-01, worn for a couple of weeks since I picked them up in the restock. I'll put details in the product thread if the picture turns out to work…

          As for me, I live in London but I'm from Manchester (can't state the first without adding the second). I love the friendly feel of this forum, and having been reading so long I feel like I know several of you fairly well without actually having joined in.

          Edit: how can I make this image appear smaller?

              +1 they look great.

              Regarding pics, I think the majority of us use phones or have done. To avoid mirror pics start using the timer and propping it up against something, or if you really fancy it a little phone tripod will set you back £20.

              Good man for writing an intro, good man for the northern pride 😉

                  Hi IH Forum

                  I’m JB. I live in Aarhus, Denmark. And I’m 44 years old.

                  I Got my first IH in 2018 when I bought my IHM-29-KHA jacket. After that 666-21, PHIXHS, 555-21 and now a lot of IH shirts too….and i’m totally hooked 😜
                  I have some Tellason, Indigofera stuff etc. and that’s great too, but to me IH have that something extra!

                  I been playing tennis for almost 38 years now and recently moved to a new place right beside my tennis club. It’s going to be a great summer on the courts. And a great summer to all of you guys 🤘🏼

                  Can’t wait for that IHSH-177 19oz to drop 😎

                  Great to be here.

                  JB

                                    Hi All!
                                    Lurked around for a minute after my first IH purchase a few months back and decided to introduce myself.  I live in Seattle w/ my wife and pup and I do taxes (I know, I know…) for a large local company.  I grew up a military brat, but WA state has been home for some time and I'm sure I'll die here. 
                                    My journey to IH: after college, maybe around 2008ish, (Go Cougs!) I set out to intentionally buy made in USA clothes, whenever I could.  This kind of led me to heritage/workwear inspired brands.  But back then I also had a lot of American Apparel clothes lol.  I eventually heard the saying "Japan does America better than America".  I was intrigued and started perusing the Japanese fashion mags at Kinokuniya bookstore here for more made in USA brands, oddly enough....  I was also led to the book Ametora, which is a great read.  A few years back I got into Japanese brands finally.  Now that I'm in a better financial situation I've been slowly (granted, much more fast during lockdown) replacing any fast fashion, cheap, etc with higher quality, longer lasting items. 
                                    I have a few IH pieces now and I know my collection will grow.  I also love Freenote, Filson (duh, being in Seattle), Merz and other Japanese brands for loopwheel.  Quick, crappy pic below is me in my lovely ihsw-41 and my AMAZING ih-803-wh.  I love these pants!  When not in my house slippers I'm usually rocking Birks, Vans or RWs.  I also just picked up a fantastic pair of lefty 634s from the outlet.  So another thing that brought me to IH was the abundance of wider fits.  I love my heavy tapers (Freenote!) for my big thighs but I just want some wide fits also!  And while my Dickies 874s are great, they don't age particularly well and can get a little stale looking in my wardrobe.  Phew, sorry for the life story...but excited to be here and to have this forum as an excellent resource!
                                    Thanks all! -Kenny

                                      Hi Kenny and thanks for that great intro. It’s always fun to hear how people gravitate towards the brand and this hobby/interest in general. Good to have you here.

                                        Great intro and the outfit is superb [emoji106]The IHSW-41 and 634S-21L are two favorite and often-worn pieces of mine.

                                            Hi,
                                            I have been looking at these jeans since I lucked into a pair of Viberg x Iron Heart engineer boots a couple of years ago.
                                            I went for IH 555 01 as they measure nigh on the same as my Levi 502.
                                            Wow I was not disapointed with the denim or cut. But. I have worn them for two evenings around the house and they are tough to sit in and are uncomfortable on the back of the knee.
                                            I nearly sent them back after putting them on but bit the bullet as they are so close to the 502s.
                                            The Levis though are thin and have a bit of elastane in them which is why they are so comfy, the 555s on the other hand don't!.
                                            They have given a bit already but are restrictive up top and behind the knees, I guess this is normal?
                                            I read somewhere getting them wet and wearing them and and doing some stretching can help.
                                            Or do I need to grow a pair and battle them to comfort?
