The Iron Heart Website - a Pictorially Embarrassing Journey…

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…

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

[louisbosco]

i think i remember v2..

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!

Fond memories of V2 ️

Sharing a screenshot of V4 for purposes of completion which - if I'm not mistaken - is missing in this thread:

Good old times when I first discovered IH and this design was still live at the time. I guess some would consider it not great for today's standards, but it is beautiful in a nostalgic way - just like the OG IH bell logo of that time - "rough", but with a very IH-esque touch to it.

[cityofdelusion]

...but V5 was my favorite of all:

Doesn't get more IH than this...

Great thread, very cool to see all this

@Giles said in The Iron Heart Website - a Pictorially Embarrassing Journey…:

A later version of the same site….

I remember coming across this version of the site and thought there was no way in hell that I was buying from it…

The things I missed out on

Reminds me a bit of buying supplies for Oregon Trail.
