Introduce Yourself Here

[Daysleepers]

Hi folks. I’m newish here. Been lurking a while.

Over the last 18 months I’ve been on a journey, going from 128kg to 75kg. This meant that in the UK I now have choices with the clothes I can buy rather than just getting anything that’s in a xxl. And I feel nicer wearing them!

I went pretty deep into clothes, getting all nerdy about RRL and SDA, and the ever decreasing size meant I got to try a lot of stuff from loads of brands.

It took me a little while, but I have settled on a weight, and subsequently found IH. The shirts fit me perfectly because at 75kg and 187cm I need those biker sleeves.

So I went on a spree and this is my current collection:

IHSH 330 BLK Raised whipcord
IHSH-208-IND Kersey Western
IHSH 192 UHF The Piglet Western XL
IHSH 33 IND 12oz Denim Western
BS69xSOP420 21oz 777 slim tapered (with IHUK being repaired)
IH-555-XHS 25oz indigo
IH-888s-UHR 21/23oz tag 31 relaxed tapered
SSBS-C4 Good Art Curb A bracelet
RS-M25 Good Art Ring
OGL Belt

My favourites so far are the Kersey and the 25oz 555s. The jeans are hard work but I adore them, the Kersey is a special special shirt, it’s also a fabric named after Kersey, Suffolk which very close to me too, which is nice. Suffolk, UK.

Hi guys,

new blood from Germany here.

I have found out about Iron Heart some time ago and after buying some stuff, I thought it to be fitting to become a forum member. I like Japan, Japanese products and American style a lot, so it had been quite easy to fall for Iron Heart.

Cheers and Grüße aus der Pfalz

Greetings,
Apologies for a long lurking period before this intro. I have been accumulating IH jeans, shirts and vests for a few years now. So happy that I stumbled across IH after trying other brands. The quality of IH products and exceptional customer service blew me away and this Forum has a collection of interesting people!
I have been retired a few years now and enjoying wearing whatever I want after decades of dressy, conformist work clothing. I live in central Virginia and am enjoying rural life while also doing a fair amount of travel.. I do a lot of gardening, photography and fiddling with my car and guitar.
On a recent Japan trip my wife and I visited the IH shop in Kojima and hope to see the UK crew in person someday.
Finally I’ll get cracking on some pics- perhaps to celebrate my incoming IH-526SVod.
Thank you all for being such a great resource on IH.
