Disclaimer. This occurred in October 2023. I’m making this post only and just only to share my experience upon Iron Heart performance as a bikers engineered jeans on a motorbike crash.
My buddies and I were driving back to our dorms on the interstate road at 11:00 p.m. on a Sunday night when it happened. We were going around 60kmh then all of a sudden a black scooter from the opposite direction made a u-turn, crossing a 2 continuous yellow line in the middle of the road. Unable to weave or brake, I t-boned him. Launched into the air, I propelled 7 or more meters forward and landed on my right side of the body, I rolled around on the tarmac then finally laid flat on my back. I checked my neck and back, I can feel them and there were no pain so my friends picked me up and I stood. Felt like a huge blow on my right ankle but upon seeing not a single scratch on my jeans, I stepped. It was dreadful, massive pain suddenly coming out of my right ankle. Pulled my jeans up and turns out that it was broken. I was quickly sent to an emergency room in a hospital nearby, had an X-ray, and was found to have a complete fracture. No scratch, no chafing, no bruises on both of my legs, just a broken ankle.
Upon getting to a stable state, I checked my jeans and I was surprised to see that it wasn’t ripped or anything. I was trying hard to find the marks that were left from the crash, there were barely any. Just a slight contrast fade on the whiskers on the right.
I’ve read many from the community, Iron Heart official site and many discussion platforms that Iron Heart was originally made for bikers, designed to be durable and to some extent protective for motor bikers. It’s just astonishing how it performs on this crash, getting nothing but only a more contrast fade on the right whiskers, plus I didn’t get any wounds on both of my legs other than a broken ankle.
Iron Heart doesn’t just barks, it bites. It’s truly engineered for bikers. If you’re a biker and looking for something that is not only durable but also protective piece of trouser that is casual enough to wear off the bike, I highly recommend you to get an Iron Heart denim.

@RobeOfTheMagi Great feeling
Yesterday I realised I could still solve a Rubik's Cube after around five years of not picking one up, once you know how to do it, it's just muscle memory I guess! -
@T4920 it’s the small things in life <3.

@Brian
The most common method (which I'm confident that absolutely anyone can learn in 4/5 hours if they're so inclined) involves memorizing a sequence of 7 movements that can be used to incrementally put the coloured pieces in the rights patterns/places. Once you know these movements, and the order in which the patterns must be constructed, any combination can be solved with ease.The method used by the 'pros' however, is a completely different story. They assign a numerical value to each of the nine pieces on each side of the cube, and conduct insanely complex mathematical equations to work out the minimum number of movements required to solve the puzzle.
I use the first method
A video guide like this is all you need if you wanna show off to your son!

“I t-boned him” is not a term I’m familiar with but too nervous to google for fear of what it throws up and my wife decides to check my search history! -
@IrishHeart Taken from the internet:
A t-bone accident occurs when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another, forming the shape of a “T” at the point of impact.
-
My wife would be thrilled to see t-boning in my search history. Anything other than the IH shopping cart for clarification

Hi Reuben,I am so relieved your ‚Sale‘ is over!
Watched it a ton in the last weeks and often thought to pull the trigger… but I was holding back for some reasons.
Why?
In all those years we forummembers where constantly connected through an IH-STUFFCHANGE!
As I own two IH garments bought from you years ago…
…some of your new buyers and hopefully some more folks are motivated to read through your retrospektive.What a beautiful job you’ve done for this forum!
Thanks -
Ha! You of all people are always free to dm me, sales thread or not
It was a pleasure to move stuff on to forum friends old and new.
I’m moving into a new, bigger place in the summer and will be opening another box of stored Iron Heart then. Sure to be something there for you @Aetas
