hi guys! new to the forum here. I'm Andrew. I love IH! i have a IHJ-132 and looking to pick up more. I will be traveling to Tokyo in November and want to visit the IH shop in Tokyo. I know its a haul away from the city center but i think its worth it. Any recommendations for my visit? From what i can gather they seem to have much less than the UK international site and focus more on the fleece type outerwear. Has anybody here been there? I'm looking to pick up shirts like the CPO and Western denim as well as hopefully the Pale Rider and the IHJ-128-BLU in LARGE. hope this kind of question is ok. thanks!

@ansipage You wil find a lot of valuable information in this thread: https://forum.ironheart.co.uk/topic/1946/the-works-address-and-how-to-get-there

also, to get a glimpse of what might be available, check https://www.ironheart.jp/collections/all

I suspect that they will have no pale riders, and they carry a very limited selection of denim CPO's. They have sold out of IHJ-128-blu in L I am afraid.

Can anyone ID this jacket?

[tody]

@ironmind CWU-45P, probably only available in JP. mentioned by Haraki here: http://shin3155.blog54.fc2.com/blog-entry-3384.html

Had a few in UK when they were released, but thats was years ago…..

Thanks, a size L just popped up on eBay (I'm searching for a Black/Black N1 Deck Jacket). I was tempted but decided to leave it!

@goosehd lol

Not had the chance yet! But I recently became a Liveryman in the Worshipful Company of Plaisterers and apparently I can get a spot to do some sheep rustling (wrestling!) across London Bridge next year!!!!!

I have seen these pants stands(?) on display outside of IH stores via IH staff blogs. I would love to make one or more if possible to display my heavily faded pairs. Does anyone know what these are exactly? Are there findable images of these pants stands without jeans on them so I can see what the setup actually is? Or ideas to make something similar? I suppose I could find most if not all of the metal materials at a hardware store. Thanks in advance y'all.

@Oaktavia We've built two replicas for our store in Hamburg, and I have some photos of the original from Japan. Feel free to email me at info@ironheartgermany.com and I'll send you the photos.

Is it possible to use indigo on mercerised cotton?

[Alex]

@Karol I don't see why not, but I don't think we will be rushing to make indigo chinos if that is where you were going with this

@Alex
I was more thinking about a T-shirt…

[Karol]

Or maybe something more unusual - mercerised denim? Has that ever been done?

[ironmind]

I bought a second hand deck vest online and it was shipped with 2 of these button extenders.

It had some stains not described in the listing, which they admitted to, and I sent it back. The seller then refunded me £50 less as I didn’t send back the button extenders, as they are ‘exclusive to iron heart’ and can’t be replaced. I have never seen these before.

Is this true?

[goosehd]

@ironmind Personally, I have never seen button extenders offered from Ironheart. I am tagging @Giles for confirmation as I have been wrong before.

[ironmind]

To add to this I had them both this morning and was going to send them back, but one has gone missing (think my toddler has taken it and put it somewhere )
