      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...

        Welcome. Love the username [emoji1]

        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]).

          Thanks @neph93

          I say “understanding”, she is, but… She doesn’t know about every purchase  😶

            Sounds more like it. Where’s the fun in having a «perfect» partner? [emoji1]

              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.

                      Now I know I’m addicted to it.

                        Hey there,
                        I am a new forum member, based in Berlin/Germany. Happy to be here!

                        Got sucked into the Iron Heart world 2-3 years back, but recently have been buying IH almost exclusively. I've gone through most raw denim brands you can think of, wondering why it took me so long to arrive at their wonderful 21oz denims recently. Even more than with slacks, I find that IH delivery superior quality and bang for buck when it comes to shirting. I'm a sucker for UHFs and denim westerns.

                        Lastly, my feet seem to have "changed" in recent years: that being said and considering the above, I have a whole heap of "other brand's" shirts and denims to sell, as well as 8 or so pairs of Red Wings and some other high quality, Goodyear welt boots.

                        I am wondering if it would be okay to create a post for that in the marketplace here? Only selling my much loved, used items in great condition. Some of the jeans have been hemmed.

                        Would appreciate your feedback very much. Hoping to find like-minded people here, where my pieces will be in good hands.

                          Welcome @kcon.

                          The items you wish to sell seem well suited to the marketplace. Just read up on the tips and guidelines there before you post.

                            ^^^whatever bot this is, sure is resilient. Does it manage FOREX trading as well?

                            And sh*t.. I probably just threw out a keyword some other bot will attack..

                              On a side note, can we see this essay on Pokémon? Is it like a “cultural appropriation of Japanese youth culture for secular America capitalist regimes” type essay, or more like “squirtle is better than chamander because of ZYZ” type essay?

                                    My thesis took me years to write. If I just used this service, I could’ve graduated so much sooner! And there would’ve been Pokémon in my thesis, too. Can’t believe I’ve wasted so much time.

                                          I suspect most PhD theses would be improved through discussions of Pokemon…
