The Iron Heart Website - a Pictorially Embarrassing Journey…

I always loved the selvedge edge on the V3 the best. That's what the site looked like when I first saw it.

@Chris I can do that when I have decent connectivity, in the back of a taxi atm….

@Chris:

Do you have approximate dates for when each version was in use?

If you click on the links to go into the actual archived site you get a date tracker.

Seconded! I was also intrigued by the red W on black denim ;).

This is so cool!

" Click the image to see the site …."
...and see the whole IHUK world on one web archive time line. 
This recommendation evolves to one of the biggest time guzzlers in IH life.

Great journey!

@Giles:

How's this for our first ever product page?  Yeah, I know, a little lacking…...

Wow I think it's about time those silver rivets made a comeback! I'll bet a deadstock pair of those would be worth a couple grand now.

Have to admit, my only regret with buying my IH-634S is that I didn't spring for the rivet upgrade.

Show off.

v3 is a perfect minimal site/design IMO. I still like how it looks. Not the best for a retailer/seller as it hides all the product, but design was on point…

[Giles]

The minimum run for silver rivets is an awful lot, I may do at some point…..

[louisbosco]

i think i remember v2..

[Appfaff]

Jesus, I remember V1 as well as the Flat Head UK webshop. I used to stalk those sites like a hawk, only looking as I could never afford anything.

Flat Head UK webshop was also Giles… But you knew that probably...

[Giles]

Shit, I forgot all about that. Let me see if I can find some imgaes….

^yep - first “high end” jeans I bought were TFH 3005 from DC4. Kinda wish I had bought 634S instead.

We know how that first purchase influenced the rest, however…

Here's a super nerdy observation (sorry @deadendpro )…

When I was running both ironheart.co.uk and flathead.co.uk, I did not advertise that both were me.

A certain forum member (see above... :)) noticed that the fades on the jeans I was wearing on both sites were obviously both mine.  Cover blown....

Hahahaha, it also serves to stand that at this particular time I had already begun my steady friendship with Ginno and Derek and Kiya of Self Edge SF fame! They had that insider knowledge, and after becoming a forum member, it all fell together! happy to have been and continue supporting such great people all these years!
