@goosehd said in Theme Week March 2-6 - Show us What You've Got....:
I had looked for a few years for a good pair of overalls and to no avail could find what I wanted. Somehow, I found a picture of @Filthy2123ozjunkie wearing a pair and fell in love with them. To this day, I can’t put my bibs on without thinking of him.
Hey Casey, where did you park the train?

My first piece is long gone I'm afraid so no fade pics! but I picked up the 666 x R&H 21oz pair from the Fitzrovia store around 2014 from Junior, long before I ever worked there and indeed Iron Heart, I wore them to death for about three years non stop, until they had holes, and multiple repairs by Chesson, then I fucked up and hemmed them too short so they where unwearable and had to sadly let them go on eBay, gutted I don't have any photos because they looked great, but that's the pair that really got me started on Iron Heart.
-
First was a 666-21 I bought from the good folks at Burg und Schild in, I want to say, 2021. I've since sold them because they became much too big for me. Replaced them with a 777-21 in 2022 from Statement which I still rock as my main pair, even though they too are running quite large on me at this point.
First shirt must have been a Johnny Cash III, which I still have though is on the chopping block because that one, too, does not fit me anymore
(you may see a pattern emerge here) -
OK. My first ever pieces, circa August 2005.
OG, IH-526J...
Naughtiness...
Retro applied pimpage...
Wreckage (notice the non Iron Heart branded tack buttons)....
And me gazing (probably wistfully) at my OG IH-634S on display in Self Edge San Francisco (in what looks like a Triple Works denim western).....
-
My first IH item was the IH-526J in 2023 (kinda new here) it won me over in seconds and convinced me it needed (a lot) companions
-
First IH piece was the IHSH-288 Kersey work shirt in July of ‘22. Was so impressed with the fabric and construction.. it made me an immediate IH loyalist.

First Iron Heart Item:
IH-634S-14II
Long gone but I appreciated the deep blues in this piece.

@worn2fade 37’s? Very nice setup!!
-
@goosehd brother, I wish! Hahaha. These are only 33’s. Pictures must make them look much bigger. I’m on a 3” dobinson lift with 285/70/17’s.
-
My memory is shot, pretty sure a beat up pair of 301’s were my gateway drug (have since sold as they were too big). Found Iron Heart while searching for “motorcycle jeans”. The Sax Flannel and 888xhs are my oldest at the momement.

I won’t be getting any bonus points for rare or unique pieces. I’ve been into the standards from the start.
My first jeans were 633 21oz shown here, purchased spring 2021 at SENY. Gosh I forgot how comfy they are. My first shirts were 1600 Ts, followed by the IHSH-07 hickory western. Love that one, but the moiré effect makes it a bit much for a normal workday, so I’m going with this (now too small) 33OD instead (purchased from Dant summer 2021). These Wescos were also my first foray into proper boots.
The forum has had a big influence on my purchasing over the years. I’m also wearing JMM glasses, a vintage Seiko, and even the deodorant/aftershave/hair texture I use came from recommendations here. It’s been a good place to while away some time.

My first IH piece was a pair of 888s I purchased in 2023.
At first I didn't get the hype but because of the price. I knew they were quality over engineered and ethically sourced. I just thought that the jeans seemed boring. But now all I crave is IH heavy weight stuff. No matter the season.
Apologies I deleted the last post because i forgot the pics.
