The Evolution of Iron Heart
-
I have thought about drilling out the middle of the button and moving it over an inch or so. But I really like the XHSib the most when the just start to fade. I love breaking in new XHS too. Guilty pleasure. So probably a new pair. But I need to save some money first.
-
XHSib 888s just starting to fade as a point of reference.
-
Damn you make owning multiple pairs of these justifiable
-
I might make a business out of breaking in XHS for people. Like wear them for the first 6 months then they can have them…
-
What would you charge for breaking in a tag 28?
Edited to add & are fade shifts extra?
-
I can do a 28” @RoxRocks86
Fade shifts are free and I’ll even “throw some D’S on that *****”
I imagine “throwing d’s” like adding good art to iron heart pants. I wanted to post the video in the “good art” thread but this was too convenient

I was just thinking about trying to button up a size 28. I probably need to lose some weight first…

[mention]neph93 [/mention] haha! I just threw it in with some other denim and I think I even dried it in the machine [emoji23]
[mention]RoxRocks86 [/mention] about 6 months ago or so one of the IH crew posted a picture of a handful they found in a drawer and said if we wanted one to add a note on our next purchase.. so I lucked out.

@adam313:
Holy shit, I can’t believe that’s what you sound like. With that voice, don’t be self deprecating, you should make money reading shit in English for foreign people.
That was my same reaction when I heard mikes voice for the first time. We text occasionally and sometimes Mike will reply via voice text and I love it every time!!

Agreed - it was also my first impression that you have a really great voice, Mike!
@Filthy -
This is Mike in my mind now

@Brock @cityofdelusion @adam313 thanks a lot guys. I feel all warm and mushy inside. 🥰
-
haha that's pretty rad @Brock –that thing is getting some nice evo
-
really cool vid @Filthy –-seeing them outside in the direct sunlight really shows the depth of them.
I think the combs look pretty cool
When you say that you iron and starch them..is that so the combs don't shift?
I always wondered how to keep the combs in a nice and tight pattern
keep those vids coming man -
@Brock nice! where’d you get that keychain?
They were made in Japan a few years back and given to attendees of a party in Gosport. I think it was Fish & Chips in 2018.
However I believe I saw a fresh batch has been made recently as they popped up on one of the Japanese IG accounts. Giles has mentioned a project where Haraki-san is going to start upcycling waste fabric into new products and they are probably a part of that, so perhaps they’ll be available for purchase again soon…?
Here’s mine. Not washed, ‘cos I’m hardcore, unlike that wannabe denim hipster @Brock

I didn't know an appreciation for finely crafted denim would bring me to this place with these ppl, but I'm grateful for it anyhow @Filthy.
And majorly, @adam313. Watching that show was a big positive when I was growing up.
I had my mind blown when I found out KAWS was one of the artists on Doug - that’s how he got his start.. it’s like my life made more sense when the circle of 90s-2000s culture came all together!

keep those vids coming man@dinobarnesberlin the starch and the ironing is to attempt to make them feel as close to being raw or new again after a wash.
I am in California working but when I get a chance I can show what I've been doing.

I’m way too much of a denim hipster… [mention]neph93 [/mention]
Also… yours has a black IH tag and mine is blue

Mine has a blue tag, too. Maybe there were a couple of different runs?
