      I wanted that 526J-22OD soooooooo badly!! And since it was out of stock–I decided to go with the 526PJ.
      No regrets at all, in fact Im loving this jacket very much.
      But cant help to wonder if I still might pick up the 22OD somewhere down the line.
      ive seen the question asked a few times here...how many type 3s are too much?
      im not sure---but my collection is slowly growing  😉

            I honestly feel like I could own a Type 3 for every day of the week and that wouldn't even be enough.

                    Hi all,

                    took the plunge a few weeks ago and bought a pair of 666S-21 and IHSH-220-IND, very happy with both items. And super impressed by the excellent service by Graham. So impressed that I ordered IHSH-33B for I which I will happily wait until this Brexit shambles has been solved.

                    Live in Bavaria and, as you might have guessed, enjoy all sorts of weird music, so hopefully I will be inspired by the music thread in here, besides the clothing of course

                      Welcome to the forum. Great items to start with and I like the Can reference in your username. Good to have you aboard.

                        Hello, I made my mind and officialized my presence on this forum. I'm a new member to you but I've been stalking the forum since my first IH order in 2017.
                        I've been in denial since then, order after order, trying to convince me it wasn't so bad, luring myself into believing that I could stop anytime.
                        Yesterday was the day I accepted myself as I am, an IH addict, so I decided to finally create an account on the forum. I mean I drink my coffee every morning into a IH forum mug, and own some IF forum tshirts…

                        Special power : answering emails from IH staff in bed when waking up, and realizing after my coffee that my English skills don't wake up at the same time I do. Kuddos to IH for their ability to understand such emails.

                        Price is forgotten, quality remains.

                              Bought into Iron Heart in 2017, after drooling over studio shots. Receiving and opening my first brown bag, the clothing inside was absolutely unreal - unlike anything I’d bought before. I fell in love then and there, and I soon replaced nearly everything I owned with an Iron Heart variant.

                              I’ve made costly mistakes along the way, trying different cuts until finding what worked for me, having to sell pieces on etc., but I’m sure everyone here has had that.

                              Truth be told, I’ve tried to hold off on purchases for a little while. You get what you pay for, and Iron Heart is the dog’s bollocks for quality… and I have poor impulse control. I convinced myself that I could substitute things with different, cheaper (still decent) brands. Yeah, you can… but you’ll never be happy having to settle for second or third best.

                              I have a firmer idea what I like, what fits, what I already have, what I don’t need, so on and so forth now.

                              The wife knows of my expensive tastes, and she’s understanding while also keeping me in check. She knows what’s inside those green mailer bags now...

                                I also appreciate the intro. I think it will resonate with a lot of people (except for the part about the understanding SO, you’re in the fortunate minority there [emoji6]).

                                      Hi This is Sam in Japan. I haven't posted for A long time. I missed the Purple Rain UHF in Gosport. But I just snagged the last size L from the Hatchioji store in Tokyo. Yahoo! So happy! And I feel so lucky. Now I guess I have all I need to last me a lifetime. Jeans 634S 21, 666S 21, 888OD 21, Jacket IHJ 69 Khaki, Denim shirt IHSH 33, and now the Purple Rain! I also have a great Type 2 Denim Jacket by Samurai Jeans in Japan, my wife found in a recycle shop. Lucky guy.

                                        I have a question for Giles. Why am I the unwoven? I came to the Gosport HQ two summer ago, and met Giles and the gang.
