Introduce Yourself Here

Hello there, I´m Michael from Germany.
I live in a small town near Münster.
After several years of discontent with the "big players" in Jeans, I decided it was time to move on and try something resilient and unique.
During a vacation in Rostock i discovered a store with "Japan Denim" (or what I think it is) and bought my first pair of denim from a competitor.
But I saw several Iron Hearts and I found myself thinking and thinking about those.
And so I took the plunge and ordered a pair of 634 in 21 oz. But those were too "roomy" for my legs and I changed to 666 in 21 oz.
I am looking forward the first days of wearing them and for those fadings I saw in the store in Rostock.
I like the forum and hope to discover something new.
Kind regards Michael

Hello Iron Heart Fellas,
happy to join you in the forum and thanks to Giles for inviting me.
I live in Salzburg/Austria as most of you know as the Mozart Down. Think there are not that much Austrians in the forum.How so ever i´m in the iron heart game already a few years but did my first purchase from
the guys in gosport last month and was really happy with their customer service and the fast shipment.Unfortunatelly here in austria we don’t have any shops do buy iron heart directly (Saddly also Iron Heart Vienna formerly know as “The Low Down on denim” isn´t any more)
but thanks to the guys in gosport and their retailers like Brund,Burg & Schild….its not that difficult to get the iron heart stuff.I read along the forum since a while but now I thougt that it would be a good idea to join it since it`s a really great and simpatic place to share our passion which its not only cloth but also the other good things in life.Thanks for having me here and greetings from Salzburg

@Alex78 welcome dude

Hello everyone,
My name is Chris and I live in Toronto, Canada. Im a hydraulics technician by trade (for the last 16 years) and opened my own rebuild shop about 4 years go. We do our own welding and machining in house as well as the rebuild side.
I love tinkering on old motorcycles and cars. I do leather work as a hobby (motorcycle seats, bags, wallets etc).
Though I'm new to Iron Heart, and have been aware of the brand for many years, I'd yet to pull the trigger on my first item. I've been into clothes since I was 21 (36 now). Really enjoy brands like Viberg, Alden, Barbour, Filson, APC etc. Mainly boots/shoes and jackets. I didn't really invest in quality clothing items as I would find that my clothing, no matter how carful I was, would always end up with grease or oil stains. I'm not a fan of that kind of "patina"…it just looks sh*t. I don't even work in my street clothes! I wear a uniform. Yet somehow every item I own would have a smear of something petroleum based lol.
However, the other day, after many hours browsing the forum and listening to every podcast 2 or 3 times over, I just said fu*k it and pulled the trigger on my first piece of IH gear. The IHSH-300-RED size XXL. Ive got a pair of 888s on the way as well. The fit of the shirt is exactly what I was after. At 6'1" and 220 lbs I'm a bit of a thick guy so the XXL looked to be the best option.
Ok enough from me. I look forward to being part of this tight knit community; contributing where I can.

The shirt looks solid on you man, and you nailed it with the sizing.

Welcome @SkellyYup! Totally perfect fit on that shirt.
What fabric did you go with on your 888s?

Hi Everyone,
First a thanks for Giles to invite me into this forum.
I'm Danny, 47 years old and a denimhead for many years now.
I always use to wear the jeans from Nudie Jeans and other commercial brands, but this year I got my eyes opened when I saw a collabjeans between Benzak Denim Developers and Samurai (whitch I now owned by the way ;D)
And because of these Samurai jeans I discover a whole new world of Japanese brands as Oni Denim and of course Iron Heart.
I also read a lot of info from the webite from Denimhunters, and by this site I did my first purcase of the UHF shirts from Iron heart.
At this moment I got two UHF shirts and it's by far the best Flannel shirt on the market.
I'm also gathering info about the N1 deck jacket because I really love it.I'm Living in Holland and getting my hands on a piece of Iron Heart clothing is difficult in this country, especcialy when you want something different than only the jeans.
So I'm depending on the website of Iron Heart and the shops in Germany. (is at least a two and a half hour drive for me)
But I hope to read a lot of inspiring stories on this Forum and I'm happy to be a family member of the Iron Heart community
Kind regards
Danny

Welcome Danny, great intro.
One of the great things about this place is getting advice and help with buying unseen from the web store. Feel free to ask anything…
