IHE-51-IND - Diamond Stitched 25oz Selvedge Denim Waist Bag - Indigo

@Oaktavia Thank you so much for your reply ~ your comments and insight are always welcomed and much appreciated! It was your bag that first caught my attention and made me realize that Iron Heart made Fannypacks. When I saw this one I knew I’d eventually get one. I contemplated between this and the IHE-37 many times but my heart was always with this one.
Right now I switch between a backpack and Fannypack depending on how much shit I need to carry. Many times I don’t need all the space the backpack has and use the fannypack. It also lets me free up my pockets. I never really bonded with the one I have now (design and looks) and am really looking forward getting this one. I plan on using it in a similar way that you do for my EDC. Also stoked that this will be first my 25oz denim and look forward to seeing how it breaks in. I’ll post pictures when it gets here.

@Denman-John for me it is indispensable, it replaced a small Lewis Leather bag that I had been carrying for years, I don't really like putting my things in my pockets, so I always carry it with me or at most I leave it in the car. In addition to the damned cigarettes, lighter, diary, handkerchiefs ... it is large and roomy enough to carry my glasses or sunglasses depending on which one I am wearing at that moment. I love it and sooner or later I will get a leather one to alternate with this one

@Luijim78 I remember seeing pictures of yours when you got it. You rock it so well! Have you noticed any fading on yours yet?
-
@Denman-John yes a little electric blue along the zipper on the belt and here and there As soon as I have a moment I will try to put up some photos, of course they are small things compared to the photos I saw above of Tom and all of you
-
@Denman-John oh yes excellent point about freeing up pockets. That was one @neph93 made to me that helped with my decision. I hate having anything but a wallet and bandanna in my pants pockets.
-
@Oaktavia I carry a small knife and you can tell which pocket it’s in by the fade marks on my overalls. It’s getting to the point where it’s almost wearing through the denim. Amongst other things, this bag will hopefully solve that problem.

@Denman-John knife fades are cool. Phone fades me no likey. I keep a zippo in my coin pocket actually. The one I got from Gos Vegas.

Valentine’s Day and I got lucky. Thank you so much @Graham for making this available ~ love it!

@Denman-John deal! Course, if they’re snacks coming from my 51 they might be Milkbones!

IHE-51 out in the wild

Some electric blues are starting to pop on the corners, strap, and zipper of this epic denim waist bag. I’ve used it a few times a week for the past six months or so. This is after the first hand wash.

Riding season returns… great for keeping the wind at bay

@Denman-John it can be so hard to photograph the true colors of the 51, I find.
-
@Mizmazzle No doubt. Lighting, time of day, etc. I’m finding that it’s softening up a bit now, but it’s still a beast.
When did you do your first wash?
-
@Denman-John I got mine a month or so before we went to Vietnam and then washed it after we got back from that trip. SE Asian sweat and travel grime necessitated it. Thinking I’ll give it a second wash after our UK trip.
