      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.

        Hello everyone,

        Hi David. Good to have you here, sounds like you’re in the right place, from that great intro. Nice dog too.

            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

                            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

                                  How do IH forum!? I recently joined the forum and have been trying to learn some etiquette before posting much. Think I’m beginning to get a feel for things but please feel free to smash me if I am operating poorly.
                                  My 37 years have been spent in various trades, activities and adventures that require high performing and tough gear. I’ve worked on a fishing boat, been a hunting guide, construction worker and have enjoyed loads of adventures on my own backpacking, hunting and fishing journeys. All of this has trained me to appreciate genuine quality in fabrics and performance of my gear.
                                  I found the selvage denim world about a year and a half ago and have been more or less… or more… obsessed about learning denim. The concept of making your articles of clothing a project has been really inspiring to me. I came across IH about a year ago and have honestly tried and failed at finding my cut or size a few times until now. Currently Ive been working in a pair of IH 888 XHS for about two months and own various other IH pieces.
                                  I could say a lot more here but really just wanted to introduce myself and say I’m glad to have found IH and am eager to learn and connect here on this platform. Thank you IH! [emoji1605]

                                        Hello there!
                                        New to the forum, happy to be here. Very cool how active the IH community is here; most forums are like deserted shopping malls these days. Everyone’s gone to reddit and instagram.

                                        Have been into japanese denim for a long time, and as of late have really grown a liking to that particular thing that IH does. Want every cut available in every denim? Want logical model numbers that are easy to follow? Want a forum thread neatly organized for each model variant? Check check and check. THIS IS MADNESS! IH definitely has an appeal to OCD types. Love it.

                                        I have a pair of 888-21mb’s in the closet, going to begin rotating those pretty soon. Not going to rush those, I have a feeling I will find more satisfaction in wearing those in 1 day a week, and seeing the slow evolution over multiple years. Many thanks to Chesson for taking my call a few months ago to help with fit and measurement. 10/10 would not have ordered that day if it were not for that 10 minute conversation.

                                        I have got my eyes on the 888-XHSib’s that I think will suit me well as a daily pair….just need help on sizing! Off to read the 888-XHSib thread.

                                        Cheers!

                                          Welcome @ombre  Were happy to have you here.  FWIW I wear 32 in all my 888s and that works for me and my OCD  ???  The store page has a comparison feature where you can put two items side by side.  Use that to compare the measurements for the XHS to the MB and you’ll be fine.
