Introduce Yourself Here

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.

^^^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..

I knew it.. I fed the plague….
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?

I’m actually surprised so many PHD candidates google “how to pay for PhD thesis essay”
I feel like I could have finished my MBA after all [emoji1787]

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…

Hi, I'm Wayne from NY, U.S.
I joined to ask questions about break-in process
-
@seven_bacon Hey dude, I just purchased that same jacket. It just takes time to break in, all you need to do is wear it. The more of often you do, the faster the jacket will break in.
edit: just saw your other post- and the answer on that thread is correct, soaking the jacket is key. That member helped me figure out my fit with the same jacket. He knows his stuff alright!
-
@seven_bacon welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your time here and make some new friends.
You can dampen up the sleeves if you're going for monster creases/combs on the sleeves and otherwise just wear it.
My plane is pushing back or I'd write more…

Hello! I'm from the US, and new to Iron Heart but not to raw denim. Seeing all the IH wear photos here and on the Reddit board, I think I've been bitten by the IH bug. So I joined up to research the product line and maybe buy a used piece from this community. I've already learned a ton just lurking around. Thanks

@urrrrgrrrr welcome to the forum! My real name is Mike.
Please tell us your name and consider looking at the for sale threads and maybe let us know your current favorite best fitting pair of jeans measurements are when measuring like the video embedded below, and maybe someone might have something for you.
Either way, everyone here is awesome and super helpful. So please feel free to ask about anything you might be interested in or want to know about.

@Filthy thanks Mike for the warm welcome. My name is also Mike but I can go by Michael to avoid confusion, or whatever you'd like to call me is fine, you could do like my wife and just call me "lazy SOB"
My current pair of jeans are Railcars with ~ 100 wears so they're still in the prime of life. Using the IH measuring method they're 17.5 waist, 10.75 front rise, 15.5 back rise, 12.5 thigh, 8.5 knee, 7.2 hem. Inseam is 30" cuffed to prolly 28". Those jeans are a bit loose on me in the top block but not overly so, and give me a bit of loose diaper ass which is really a problem with all my pants. Below the thigh the fit is perfect. I'm a short dude and I think that the knee/hem measurements on these are perfect.
SO what IH cut should I be looking at? Just by browsing around here I've kind of arrived on the idea of either 777 in size 34 or the 555 in 33, in the standard 21-oz indigo version. Does that sound reasonable to you given my current fit? Thanks
-
I am reluctant to to give advice on fit… but maybe @neph93 @Appfaff or @sabergirl can help?

@urrrrgrrrr Good work with your measuring and research.
Unless you have a lot of room in the thigh on your Railcars, I think you're going to struggle with the IH-555s-21 in w33. The thigh on those is very small and the taper in the thigh is mean. Sizing up will probably give you the nappy butt issue as the 555 top block is relaxed. The 777 in W34 sounds like a better shout for you.
I'd also encourage you to look at the IH-888s-21 in a w33. The waist will seem small, but that is deceptive.
