      Hi fellow Iron Hearts.  I'm new to the group and a true novice in denim world.  I live in Bend, OR and work medicine (G.I., yes get your colonoscopy), have a gorgeous labrador retriever, ride a BMW R1200 GSA, and my fun hobby is also my main mode of exercise…. cycling.

      Breaking in my new pair of IH 666S and have one of those sweet western Wabash shirts in transit.

      Considering:  trucker jacket, 777's in 14oz and maybe.... a pair of the 1955's assuming I don't skip leg day too often.

      Thanks for providing this forum.

        Thanks for providing this forum.

        Thanks for joining and for the great intro. May I ask, why the Telemark reference?

          Very nice intro @TelemarkTumalo 👊🏻👊🏻

          Feel free to share pics of your retriever, GSA and bicycles whenever you’re up to it. Text only won’t cut it!

          The journey is the objective.

                i prefer pre-owned to new when i can get it, esp for well made products like iron heart that have a usuable life beyond what many can muster

                  Pre-owned IH gear is awesome to find on here, especially when you don't pay full price.

                      Hello everyone,
                      My name is David. I am originally from Czechoslovakia , lived all over the Europe in 90's and eventually settled down in beautiful Oregon near Portland almost 25 years ago.
                      I work for myself in construction field. I enjoy training and competing with my dogs,  riding my old Triumph Daytona motorcycle and mountain bike all over this place.
                      I was introduced to Iron Heart about 3 years ago by my friends in Self Edge Portland and developed "the addiction " shortly after.
                      I have been reading posts on this forum for awhile and I think it's time to introduce myself.

                            Hi there,

                            Raw denim fan since mid 90s, made a break for 8-9 years and recently rekindled my passion for high quality durable clothes. A great local store in Toronto (Dutil) carries IH and that is where I got my first pair of IH jeans (777-142od).

                            I found the fit of 777 to be perfect for me so I also got them in 14oz indigo, and when they didn't have 777s-21 locally, I decided to order them from the IH store online.

                            There, I was blown away with the quality of service. Graham's handholding through the purchase process was unforgettable and if/when I can't find the next IH product locally I know where I'll go for additional purchases.

                            Cheers,
                            Darko

                              Welcome @Darko to the forum and glad you enjoyed the help/service from IHUK and @Graham.  The entire crew in Gosport are top tier in their support, knowledge, and understanding and I can personally say a fine group to meet in person and interact with.

                              Haven’t made it to Dutil, but need to make a trip as I’m about 2 hours east of Toronto.

                                        New member here. I've been lurking for a while and just got my first pair of iron hearts, 634Z. Loving the 21oz so far!

                                          I'm sure you know, but just in case, the 21oz used in the 634Z is different from our "signature" 21oz…...

                                            long time lurker (and avid forum reader) first time sign up and poster

                                            I'm Brian
                                            early 40's Living in Adelaide Australia for the past 12 years
                                            married for 8 and with a 6 year old son
                                            originally from Maidenhead in the UK with stints in Manchester for Uni and work

                                            not long got myself a pair of 21oz 777 and a very nice white t-shirt as first IH purchases

                                            Been wearing Selvedge denim since my uni days when I had a pair of Evisu jeans
                                            never really understood the concept or characteristics of selvedge denim until a trip to Sydney in 2014 for my honeymoon and got chatting to a shop owner while buying some jeans. I used to buy them wear and wash them like any normal garment of clothing and  throw them out when they looked worn or got a hole in them

                                            have had many different brands over the years from nudie to apc to leftfield, railcar, japan blue momotaro  and Really looking forward to breaking in the 777 and wearing them with pride

                                            Looking forward to getting stuck in and contributing
