@endo that more than makes up for any other shortcomings

Sorry for the thread drift,but you guys mentioned maple syrup and sticky. Have any of you seen this?

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman fuck those fools who think by offering a premium promise they can get away with blind acceptance of shit quality. Sadly it shows that most folks don’t know the difference and can be bullied into being delivered garbage.

@Mizmazzle the second he started talking about "heat treating" the strap is the beginning of when i seriously started to doubt this guy and his product.

Let the record show "heat treating" in this case means taking a lighter to the cut end of the elasticized fabric to melt it and prevent fraying.

@Jett129 the sticky was brilliant, my wife and I got through it in one sitting! Can’t wait for season 2

I know this forum is generally a place where people don’t get too bent out of shape or talk smack about others, but Jake’s (Almost Vintage Style) recent Iron Heart rant on YouTube really irked me. I’m all for people wearing whatever they want and whatever makes them feel comfortable—though some of the “cosplay” stuff is a borderline/bit much for my personal taste. That’s all…

Also, no hard feelings if this needs to be removed. I get a little defensive of IH.

@northsouthdenimguy I had to look that dude up... why do you watch videos like these in the first place?

I'm always reminded of this classic Banksy:

I think we all do…

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I'm only here for @Giles' life lessons, the clothes are secondary

[flannel slut]

@northsouthdenimguy i did find his videos informative when I watched from around 5 years ago, specifically when I was researching engineer boots. It quickly became clear that he was one of the lucky few whose shit did not stink and did not find myself worthy of his company over time. Looking forward to queing this watch up when I have the time.

I like some of his boot content as for clothing not so much, although denim is pretty decent

[northsouthdenimguy]

@flannel-slut

I think he’s gotten a lot of flak from people here recently about his take on things, so it feels like he’s turned up this whole “I know best, and I’m the most stylish one” attitude.

[AdamJ]

I think you could spin it in a positive light that, the fact a substantial amount of people are reaching for IH for their top and bottoms, can't be a bad thing

[Oaktavia]

@northsouthdenimguy "I could be this over confident. It's not even over confident, it's just true. I could put together a better fit going to a T J Maxx (discount stores in America) then if somebody just wore all Iron Heart".

I can't take a statement like that seriously. Who makes a video and posts it online just to say something so petty, directly point a finger at folks like me (us). The über pretentiousness is tasteless.

[Tago Mago]

It's click bait, and it's working

[Alex]

What’s the TLDR of his video? For someone not interested in giving him more views

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Alex

I’ll be honest with you. I didn’t listen all the way through… but what I got from his take is that Iron Heart is not classic. You would never have 21 oz denim or ultra heavy flannels in the past. Style is not possible when you’re wearing ALL IH(or other brands)you have to mix your brands. yada yada yada.

[Alex]

Got it. Think he’s still butt hurt about some beef he had with Giles way back when.

[flannel slut]

@Alex like a snow flake finding its way to a warm summer day.
