Personally I have always found them a little preppy.

[goosehd]

@neph93 Interesting. The people who typically wear them or the shoes themselves? What about Doc Martens?

What about Doc Martens?

I have a pair of turquoise oxfords that I have recently added to my collection. I think they look great paired with denim with a cuff.

[popvulture]

I love Docs. Frequently wear a pair of UK 8-holes in black.

I have some chelsea boots in a crazy horse leather from dr martens!

[Luijim78]

I have about 30 pairs, from 90 until a few years ago I wore nothing but DOC, Solovair Gripfast and GettaGrip

@goosehd My parents and older brothers have always worn Trickers and when I got my first pair in my mid-twenties it was considered sort of a right of passage for my family. I wore them for about five years and had two pairs of shoes and a pair of boots. While they are bomb proof, very comfy when worn in and look great, I have to agree with @neph93 and say I moved away from Trickers and more towards Red Wings because they are a little preppy.. they look great with a button down shirt, a wax Barbour or leather Belstaff but not so much with faded jeans and a battered jacket.

On a personal note, my family have always been into game shooting for pheasants/partridges etc and while I was pushed into this is as a small boy, I found I could not bring myself to kill a bird or hare and asked to not be taken again. In later life I believe I stepped away from the Trickers/wax jacket look because I weirdly associated it in my head with my family and the shooting scene.

Please note that I know that wearing a pair of Trickers does not mean you are into game shooting and they are fantastic boots if that’s your look

What's darker 14oz, 17oz or 18oz blues?
What's the darkest of the IH lightweights?

[Alex]

@webmal have you taken a look here? Some comparisons of our denims
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/our-denims/

[Alex]

Indigo/black will be a deeper shade of blue than indigo beige, are you just looking at regular indigo, @webmal ?

[webmal]

Yeah, just regular indigo mate. All the indigo in the denim comparison page looks the same to me

[Alex]

@webmal What do you define as lightweight? We can grab a comparison pic for you. Or you're only looking at the three you list above?

[webmal]

I would define IH lightweight as <19oz. Thanks mate

[Steve]

@webmal comparison shot of (from L to R) 14oz, 16oz, 17oz and 18oz. Hope this helps.

Hey everyone! New member here, and I recently picked up my first pair of Iron Hearts. If I'm looking to post a fit check and get opinions, where is the appropriate place? General? Under the specific pair? Thanks.

[Giles]

In the specific model thread is as good a place as any. Thanks for asking and welcome....

[Kdub780]

@Giles sounds good. Thank you sir.

[Tago Mago]

how do you determine if the top button on a shirt is a snap or a regular button?

[Giles]

We dont. Haraki does. I personally never bothered asking him.....

We all love over engineered stuff and IH always delivers. How about the 6,5oz tees? I have a bunch of 7,5oz tees which are great and i dig those! But i’m looking for a plain tee but with the same feel. I know they have a different fit and that’s fine for me. I also have some whitesville tees and for me those are to thin. Are the IH heavier? More dense? Also have some freenote 9oz tees and those feel like garbage compared to the IH 7,5oz. Already thanks peeps!
