    @BlueBlood:

    Will post some early fade pics of my 21od jeans soon.

    EDIT: Looks like my intro post got either deleted or placed elsewhere. Weird…

    You posted it here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=419.msg719611#msg719611

    These two threads have become interchangeable, and arguably could be merged. We aren’t sticklers though and appreciate when folks say hello, whichever thread it is on.

        Please forgive the newbie question, but is there a thread about properly vintage stuff?

        I've got an old sheepskin coat that my father gave me, specifically, that I'd be interested if any of the old-timers knew anything about. Bit of a long shot, I know.

        So I'm wondering if there's a thread for "check out this cool thing" or "clothing with a personal story" or "cool family hand-me-downs" kind of thing.

        Take the dive...

          @EdH I reckon the random questions thread would be a good shout, sounds a great jacket with a great story

                      Howdy folks,

                      I've been lurking around here for about 10 months or so but have yet to introduce myself/post much of anything. I have truly enjoyed soaking up all of the knowledge offered by you wonderful people, and I think it's about time I introduce myself and make more of an attempt to be a part of this community.

                      My name is Mike, I'm married with two kids (3 and 5), and earn a living teaching history at the high school level. I live in Sacramento, CA. I'm 41. Passions of mine include being a dad, watching sci-fi, denim and long-lasting quality clothing, contemplating philosophy and ethics, enjoying the natural world, doing research on various topics, and driving my wife crazy with my analytical self.

                      I really first got into denim about a year ago. The impetus behind my interest was a desire to live sustainably and consume fewer products. It began with a pair of Nudie Grim Tim organic selvage, and let's just say it's ballooned since - budgetary restrictions notwithstanding. This site has been an invaluable resource whilst learning about the complex world of denim and well-made clothing. At first, Iron Heart seemed out of reach due to the cost, but I wound up finding some really great deals through second-hand sources and managed to procure a few pieces. Those pieces confirmed that the price is indeed justifiable. At that point I didn't feel that I'd yet earned the right to post here because I'd yet to purchase something from Giles and his crew. My family knows me well and got me an Iron Heart gift voucher for Xmas, and that paved the way for my most recent purchase which was from Iron Heart UK, a pair of 555s-21 (that are amazing!). I got to experience first-hand the tremendous customer service offered by this company. I emailed back and forth with AJ, Chesson, and Graham no fewer than 6 times because they wanted  to make sure that my order was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Just a great experience! And when the jeans arrived - perfect fit. The 21 oz fabric is as indescribably amazing as what people in the forum attempt to communicate, and I suspect that these will be going strong for a long time. You all have earned a customer for life.

                      I also purchased an IHSH-33 from @arrow. What a shirt! In the photo I'm posting here, I'm wearing that shirt and the 555s.

                      I can be long-winded, so I'll end this post here. Pleased to be joining all of you and this community. Cheers!

                        @MisterEclectic hell yeah man! That 33 looks like it has a ton of fade potential left in it. Buying second hand, especially on this forum is definitely just as rad and really more sustainable than buying all brand new products anyway. Plus you can find rare grail items that are extinct. About half of my IH peices I bought from members here on the forum. So you are just as much welcome here as anyone else interested in denim and the works.

                                      Welcome @MisterEclectic ! You'll fit in well around here, lots of folks digging into the minutiae, myself included. My first pair of IH were 21oz 555s, and they're still showing no signs of any kind of trouble. Great first purchase, sure you'll enjoy the hell out of em 🙂

                                        Hi all!

                                        Long timer lurker here.  😞 Thought I better introduce myself before I start posting in Buying & Selling or asking lame questions.  😉

                                        55 years old with a wife and a daughter, living in Stockholm, Sweden. The forum is such a great source of information and the vibe is really really nice. Been in to Iron Heart for 3-4 years or so. Really looking forward to the spring releases (even though my wallet might not…).

                                        All the best!
