The Evolution of Iron Heart

Machine wash on heavy duty, hottest water possible. With a bunch of my dirty coveralls from work and 2 Hygenic clean Tide pods.

@Filthy:
I was experimenting with different kinds of light sources to try and capture the right color of these. This is a mix of an old incandescent bulb and an LED bulb at the same time.
No filter on these. I did use the Pro cam with these settings (so you can try it yourself on your pair).

Old vs older

I'm abusing a pair in a hot wash and the shrinkmaster. This is possibly my favorite patch so I removed it and will reattach it when the jeans are dry.
-
Super smart move, @Filthy. What sorta thread are you using to re-attach it? How do you ensure that placement is in sorta the same place? Worrying about screwing up my patch on my XHS (it looks so good rn!!!) has kept me from washing them
-
Wow those look awesome! @henry_david
That's a great question. And thankfully there is an indentation on the back of the patch, so it should be easy to line up. And the patch is like 1 cm to the left of the belt loop next to it. Also I didn't remove and of the threads I cut from the jeans… so there should be some kind of marks there to use as a guide.
And, finally I'll be using this heavy gauge Gutterman ca02776 golden jeans thread to reattach it.

Okay, that works too! Thanks Giles! I love you, man!
-
We can ship out a decent length of off-white poly-cotton yarn (which is what we use to fix patches on ourselves) with orders if you request…..
Wow that's some next level shit, @Giles.
And thanks, @Filthy! Yeah, the electric blue is just beautiful in the light (even better in-person without the bad photography skills).

Your white Birkenstocks are great too. I'd never be able to pull that off though. I wear Rainbow flip flops all the time and get teased relentlessly.

Ha! Thanks man. I ended up buying these because I've wanted Bostons for a while and kept being unable to buy them as my size wasn't readily available (I wear a 15 US). When I saw these, I decided to throw caution to the wind and buy them. And let me tell you: they are WHITE. It's … a lot. Thankfully I don't look too stupid.
On the topic of Rainbows, I love tf outta them. I grew up in Orange County here in California and have been wearing them for years. My wife NEVER stops making fun of me for wearing them, but, then again, they're the best flip flop and so comfy. I also have UGGs so maybe I just like ugly shoes that people think suck...

I was working at the nuclear power plant there one time, and I got introduced to the band Fu Manchu, Rainbows, and Pizza Port all in the same trip.
People there were so cool to me, I didn't want to ever leave. I was drinking a growler of beer on these people's private beach (it was my 30th b-day) and these two dudes came down with their girlfriends and sat with me on the beach and invited me into their mansion. This was before certain things were legal in CA ( and I was working at the plant subject to certain tests randomly) so I politely declined.
Anyway, I've been a Rainbow sandals fan ever since.

Lol I can just imagine that… People are generally pretty nice down there. Was that in Huntington?

I was thinking about it and the exact name of the place is San Clemente, that is where the hotel, the pizza shop, and also Mr. Pete's (the hamburgers with the pastrami on them is).
FWIW I think Birkenstocks are super uncomfortable due to my wide flat feet. Like agony. Rainbows are the most comfortable footwear for me, period.

Well, that makes sense as San Clemente is the birthplace of Rainbow sandals.

The face of the IHSH-64 is the softest, most euphoric, most orgasmicly soft thing ever.

Wore mine today. Such a comfy shirt.
