You would never have 21 oz denim or ultra heavy flannels in the past.

If that is the main tenet of his argument, he's missing the point of Iron Heart.

We use the past as a reference and try to improve upon it for todays lifestyle, whether we do or not is worthy of a discussion, but saying what we do is not stylish because it was not done in that past, is not.

We use Polycotton constructional threads
We make M65's out of stuff other than olive cotton
We interline the N1's
We use double twisted yarns for the weft of most of our denims
We don't dissect a vintage pair of jeans and replicate the constructional stitch count
etc etc etc

If I wanted period accurate repro's I would not be wearing Iron Heart.

Hopefully I didn’t get too many people worked up. You can blame it on my 16-year-old stepdaughter. She woke me up at 3:20 this morning, she seems to think you sleep all day and stay up all night during the summer. maybe next time I’ll just turn on a good documentary instead of going on heritage clothing YouTube channels..

@flannel-slut I feel this same way about certain watch channels as well. It’s a good introduction for newbies, but at a point I felt like I knew a more accurate information than the video presenter did.

I enjoy his videos, and the limited interaction I’ve had with him has been positive. He’s entitled to his opinion in this video, I’m entitled to not agree. I didn’t find it rude or anything though.

I didnt know who you guys were talking about so I googled it and immediately recognized him as someone I blocked on IG like 5 or six years ago. I got tired of looking at the same stupid hat and leather jacket 10 times a day.

Bro what???

[Tago Mago]

@Matt the fuck-me pumps were out of shot

[Matt]

Shaking my fucking head.

[Matt]

There’s a time and a place for men in pumps and it’s called this bar I’m currently sitting in.

[jordanscollected]

@Matt I might have been a bit fired up when I typed that.

I can’t be bothered to even turn the sound on any of this guy’s instagram vids when I tried to figure out who we are talking about. Took one look at his mostly ill-fitting looks and realized that his opinion probably won’t resonate with me. Different strokes, eh?

[Danimal506]

After listening to some of his video and skipping around, I can see why he only has 9k followers on YouTube. Oof that was unbearable. I just don’t like when people put their personal opinion as a fact or rule for everyone else.

[Mizmazzle]

Don’t even get me started on that Vintage Featherr gal. Think her and Almost Vintage Style should go get married and live happily ever after.

[NickD]

@Mizmazzle I see what you did there.

[Heritage_Guy]

You know he is reading through this thread and just seething, and ready to make his next post about Fedora Lounge vs Ironheart forum. Lol

[Heritage_Guy]

And Vintage Feather Girl out here catching strays over her ex.

@Mizmazzle

You should win something with this comment. Free Iron Heart for life.

[CosmoSix5]

New to this thread and I'm pretty sure almost vintage st*yle is the guy. Never been a fan, way to my way or the highway. The girl I'm lost on? When I think of heritage YouTubers there's no ladies. I love Fjorde(happiest guy on earth?) and a newer guy Diego the Urban Lad. You gotta watch the slubby denim video. You'll thank me. Devon Reviewer is best accent award.

Nothing wrong with brand loyalty, I own many pieces of clothing from other brands but always find myself just putting on IH because I just feel better with what I'm wearing, I get his opinion but still think he's an ass-hat. The comment about him wearing a crop top blouse and "look at me" belt made me chuckle, so thanks for that

@Giles i remember. The word bellend springs to mind.
