Your biggest Iron Heart regret

@AdamJ said in Your biggest Iron Heart regret:

@SKT we asked recently if it could be re-run but no dice. @louisbosco has an amazing one

sorry but mine was a 666UHR first run, not a Beatle buster..

My fave pair of IHs I've owned is the (iirc?) 666s — the 18oz raw denim that was replaced by the current 18oz vintage. So comfortable, such cool fades. Unfortunately it was at the beginning of my IH trip and I didn't really know my ass from a hole in the ground, so I ended up getting a pair one size too small. I can barely fit into them these days and didn't get to get as much wear out of them as I'd like, so I'd say my biggest regret is not having a pair of those in a good size to properly enjoy. C'est la vie though, got plenty of other great pairs of IH to love

[AdamJ]

@louisbosco IHM-20 I meant, your overdyed M65?

Sold my Indigo cord and 21oz type 3 and slub type 2 because I can never get on with the cuffs- too tight if buttoned and too loose unbuttoned. The indigo cord is the fabric I miss most, so soft.

[louisbosco]

ahh yes. I got loss in the conversation when they mentioned Beatle busters..

@SKT been awhile since I've worn them. good time to take it out soon I reckon..

[jordanscollected]

woah

[AdamJ]

@louisbosco good time to get it out..to ship to me

[louisbosco]

@AdamJ might just have to ship it out (once I'm done with Aussie winter in may) and do a world tour and see how much more it'll give..

bit hard to wear this now in sunny Singapore, even with the A/C on..

Amazing

@louisbosco

[SKT]

@louisbosco Damn that’s nice!

[SKT]

I should have known there wouldn’t be any “I tore the living shit out of it and couldn’t wear it anymore” stories. Not how forum fuckwits roll…

[SKT]

@popvulture Similar to you, my first pair of IH were 666 only in 21L. They are one size too small and I just can’t sell em. It’s just about my favorite denim.

[popvulture]

Ahhhh cool yeah those are really nice — I have a pair too. They got a lot of wear but still have plenty of life — I don't wear them a ton anymore though because I sorta moved on to 634s and 888s. My tight pants days are rapidly waning haha.

My only regret so far is finding IH so late and missing out on so many amazing pieces that have since been discontinued. Something like the Loombreaker thread is painful to read through.
That, and missing the IHSH-316 last year. @Heavy_blue was able to find one in my size last month in Switzerland, which I immediately copped. What I regret about it is having to wait for UK Border Force to pull their heads out their asses and release it to Royal Mail to deliver the damned thing!

[popvulture]

@EdH I so feel ya on this. I know it's already been covered in this thread but the f'n Beatle Busters KILL me. Bah.

[louisbosco]

Thanks guys @SKT @Kasi

[scooter]

@AdamJ , I'm with you. My one and only regret is not snapping up the IHM-20, when I had the chance...

[Bill C]

two regrets …

• I didn’t buy IHSH-170 - gone forever …!
• I didn’t buy IH-1955S-OD when last available - hoping for a restock at some point

[goosehd]

@SKT Great thread!!

[ARNC]

If I started regretting things that are beyond my control, I'd be finished! Happy to let great historic pieces lie, unless they are resurrected one day.

I don't recall a huge buzz about them, but I do wish I'd picked up the 720-IVO at the same time as I bought my black pair.
