IRON CAST by Iron Heart International

[dinobarnesberlin]

Listened today to the podcast–-bravo guys!
Informative---casual, to the point just well done all around.

Didn't know Haraki was such a big part of Edwin before doing his own thing.
I don't think Ive ever seen anybody wearing a pair here on the Forum yet.
I bought a pair of Edwin 55s 14oz a good 5-6 months before I heard of Iron heart ( which changed everything).

After I bought my first pair of 666-21s I never did go back to the Edwins.
Im thinking of busting them out to put into rotation now that its warming up.
Would like to see how they fade after all.

Funny thing is...there are some small details in the Edwins that are so Haraki now that I look at them closer.
Cant wait to hear what's coming up next on the podcast.

@Giles:

There was a plane to have them yes, it became too difficult.  It's even difficult to do standard tack buttons….

Just so everybody is on the same page, I mean like the plated brass silver jeans buttons instead of the bronze.

These ones.

[neph93]

Ahhhh… that seems more doable.

[Giles]

Those are zinc plated brass….

I definitely enjoyed the 1st episode!  I know that Giles touched on the topic of Triple Works a bit and I'm just curious about the history of Free Bee and how it came about and how it played a role in the evolution of Iron Heart as a brand.  I'd like to hear the backstory if anyone would be willing to share.

[Giles]

I never really got to the bottom of FreeBee, other than I think it was an early version of Triple Works.  By that I mean, stuff that H wanted to make, but did not think it fitted in with the IH aesthetic…..

Just listened to first episode on a walk.  Awesome stuff.  Didnt think I would be interested in a podcast about denim but its about much more really.  biggest revelation to me is that @Giles pronounces his name like "Jiles" I always pronounced it like "Jeels".  Must be the Canadian in me assuming it would sound like the the french Gilles.  Anyway, great podcast and looking forward to more.

[Giles]

My French friends call me (to my face anyway  :)) Jeel…..(the J sounding like the Zh of Zhivago)

[deanclean]

oh interesting @giles.  Im still having a hard time changing my pronunciation in my head reading it now even knowing the correct way.  Great words about the forum also.  Hard to believe that some people told you it was too "nice" very strange to me but everyone is different I guess.

I already knew how to pronounce your name but now I know how to pronounce Zhivago

[Jett129]

You mentioned the 20th Anniversary coming up in 2022. Any Anniversary jeans,shirts etc.? Is Haraki keen on stuff like that?

[Giles]

He does not know it yet, but I will be hitting him up for loads of stuff.

@neph93:

@Chap:

Really love that the forum is such a nice place to be… but it's ok too if you guys would mention it if I sometimes wear stuff that I look silly with 

Well there was that one pic from a few years back when you were wearing a suit. Yucky.

[manufc10]

Podcast was great @Giles.  Loved the insight.

@Alex if you didn't already know I'm curious what your thoughts were when you heard the story about your dad "borrowing" the money that had been left to you by your grandma? 

[Baba-san]

Really really informative @Giles… I can't think of another brand that allows such a personal insight to the history and ethos of the company, and along with the forum... actually allows your customers to be 'part' of the the IH journey

Only really discovered IH in 2018 - I cant for the life of me think why it took so long to do so!

[vaquero357]

…wonderful interview Giles! 

...thinking you guy's should pump out another round of YouTube videos too! When I was first introduced to Iron Heart the videos were fun to watch!

...on that note I'm going over to buy a shirt! IHSH-33B pimped with copper snaps!

...Cheer's to Iron Heart!

[David K.K. Hansen]

As a podcast junkie I am so delighted that this came out!  Great listen and I agree that a denim polo would be outstanding! 

Looking forward to Alex in the next round!

those are good friends…

Oh and the podcast is awesome, great interview with a casual feel. Super stoked this is happening and excited for the upcoming episodes!

Cheers

This was great to listen to. Another comment to follow.

When @Giles mentioned that there were places that you couldn't / shouldn't  wear jeans into reminded me of when I was in Rome 2018,and I walked into this place where Frank Sinatra had eaten at many years ago. I noticed a bunch of noses twitching when I walked in, but my thought was I had spent more on the Iron Heart I was wearing than what the nose twitchers, were wearing.
