        Welcome! It’s always wonderful to see folk from New Mexico show up here. I joined the forum back in 2011 while at UNM, and have been back and forth from Burque to Santa Fe ever since. Never seen anyone else wearing Iron Heart in real life tho, what about you? Enjoy it here, this is a special place!

        Here was my chill spot while at school. I miss hiking Sandia

            Thanks for the add, lots to learn and admire 🙂

            Chiming in from the suburbs of Vancouver BC with my almost 1 year old IH555-01 and already eyeing the 25oz version. Some of my past denim:

            • N&F jade selvedge and stretch indigo
            • japan blue JBO-410
            • RGT Stanton 15oz

            Question: i see what looks to be imminent crotch blowout (thinning around the area). Hasn’t busted but has all the signs. I know that IH offers lifetime repairs at no cost (one of the many reasons why i moved to IH), just wondering at this moment what the turnaround time would be?

            Here’s some fade pics and also my other hobby

              @oakley_fanatic  Welcome to the forum. Good to have you onboard.

              As for the repair service, here is the link:

              https://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/wear-and-repair

              You are best served contacting the crew in Gosport directly, but to my eyes that looks like minor repairs. If so the lead time would be two weeks. I am guessing though, so the guys from the brand can tell you for sure. Hit them up on the link provided on the website.

                Hello. New to the forum and from Boston, MA.

                I only recently decided to rebuild my wardrobe and get out of fast fashion. Ideally I will keep a more minimalist collection of fine quality things I love rather than the large collection of things I don't really care for.  As much as I'd like a vast collection of Iron Heart I went the route of trying a few things from a number of brands instead of stocking up on mostly Iron Heart. If I find myself gravitating more toward only a few of those brands in the future I could see myself selling off some things and growing the IH collection.

                Here is all I have currently:
                IH-526L
                IHSH-269-PPL
                IHSH-226-IYE

                I do wish I had gotten a pair of 555s. I'm sure the day will come. When I was looking at my first nicer denim a few months back a pair of 555s were at the top of my list, but I was convinced to go for a pair of Benzak BDD-006 instead. That Benzak pair is wonderful and also greencast. Can't wait to see how it fades. But I do think I need to try some IH eventually. Perhaps a nice heavier weight for colder weather.

                  Hello from Northern Germany,

                  I discovered the IH store in Hamburg in late summer kind of accidentally - we were on our way from the parking lot to another store, never knew it was there. Went in, saw a lot of nice things, tried an IHSH-261 but couldn't pull the trigger for a >300€ shirt at that time. Coming from brands like Pike Brothers, it was still quite a hike. But it stuck in my head..

                  Fast forward to January: My SO got me the 62-IND for my birthday. And. I. love it. The fabric, the build quality, the fit - it really is has different feel to it.

                  And that shirt flipped the switch - I gotta have the 261-BLK I tried in summer. But at that point I learned: Want a specific shirt? Buy it quick! Of course it was sold out everywhere..
                  I went on with my search for either a 261 or a 270. I still like the western cut a bit more - especially because of the snap buttons - but the 270 is a beautiful shirt, too. I managed to find one last 270-BLK in my size (XXL) in the whole wide internet. As it happens, that shirt was in Australia (Corlection). Anyone familiar with German customs and taxes for importing..? But I bought it anyway. It currently is on it's way to me and I'm eager for it's arrival (hopefully next week).

                  So, that is my fairly short history with IH, but I'm looking forward for the years to come. I already put a bunch of items on my list, that I will eventually get:

                  IH-634S
                  IHSH-33-T or IHSH-33-Black
                  IHSH-62-BLK
                  IHSH-276-IND

                  I don't think, that list tends to get shorter..

                  I'm more of a reader than a poster, but at least I wanted to say hello to the fine people in this forum. Have enjoyed reading in here for the last days and will continue to do so.  🙂

                  Cheers & stay healthy

                    Hi Tim, thanks for the great first post.

                    I think your story will be familiar to a lot of people! I also think German customs are famous around this forum [emoji1]

                          As for Customs…I just hope for the best. Will post an update when the shirt arrives.

                            Good luck, you'll need it. German Customs are a hot competitor for the very worst in the world. The hassle and cost I already had with them… Greedy bastards.
                            I had a parcel from Belgium, thus within the EU, "opened and resealed by German Customs". They didn't find anything to object or, better still, charge me for, but still, I found it enraging that now even within EU shipments are being made subject to their prying, malevolent hands.
                            If you can't provide them with convincing documentation on what you paid, they will research the web for the highest price they can use for their excise calculations. Happened to me more than once. (Imagine repeated and increased insult towards them here).
                            So again, good luck. And enjoy the shirt once you get it.

                            Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                              Man, you're really getting my hopes up. Super annoying experiences you had there.
                              Though I had a parcel coming from Spain this very week - no problems whatsoever. Arrived here in three days.

                              I stay positive until shit happens 🙂

                                As long as it's within the EU, you're fine. Otherwise, hope for less unkind customs officers than the motherf*****s here in Berlin.
