Yeah… I’m good with it. Enjoying the warmth and comfort of my IHJ-79 already. Having had a summer of exclusive sneaker usage, I’m also happy it is finally Wesco time.

@neph93 BTW, I thought of you while taking my outdoor shoes off which were soaked from rain and ice pellets.  Thinking about how nice it would be for heated floors and somewhere to sit down…

My metabolism used to be my superpower. Eat shit all day every day; lose weight. Now I’m in my early 30s and gain a stone if I dip a rich tea into me brew.

I’ll say. For me the wheels didn’t fall off the bus til 45. Up til then i could eat what i wanted. Now same diet same exercise 3” bigger in the waist.

Figured I didn’t need an expensive denim jacket because it doesn’t get worn that hard like jeans.
Got wrangler in black. 40 dollars
Less than 1 month later it’s already broke . The snap button came off the right pocket and I don’t know where it went.

The other budget option is Levi’s which is made with stretch denim…

And I really hate the feel of this. It’s so thin and cheap feeling. Are there no decent black denim jackets for under 300 dollars??

@Jeanmoreau The buying/selling section of the forum is your friend and many deals can be found…

[jordanscollected]

There's some more entry level brands that should be higher quality than the wrangler, levis, etc.
@Jeanmoreau

I haven't owned this denim myself, but i have their t-shirts and sweats and they are pretty nice quality for the price.

3sixteen’s type III’s come in at 285USD. The truth is you get what you pay for though. For 150USD more you get a type III that will last a lifetime.

No sugar, no carbs, no meat, no eating after 7, minimal snacking, work out 5 days a week, one beer at a time and very infrequently.  And after all that I’m able to barely hang on to a moderately fit dad bod.  Basically all so I don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on new clothes.

Perfectly fitting Iron Heart is a helluva deterrent/motivator @Matt

[popvulture]

It sure is. I’ve found myself considering that in both directions, haha. Better not gain too much weight in the holidays, but also better not get too aggressive with this diet because I don’t want these 634s falling off… better not get too crazy with the weights cos I don’t wanna size up in shirts

[Matt]

It’s a pretty delicate balance.  ???

@Jeanmoreau every IH Type III is worth it, for the sturdiness, the value of good feelings wearing it, and the story it's going to tell
