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.

@Toolingout Great photos!

21 oz 777s that I bought at Brund. My first IH purchase in the fall of 2020. They are great, but I wear them way too rarely. I've come to realize, that I find the tightness of the legs too restrictive. When I bought them I really liked that they stayed in place without being tight at the waist. Now I prefer pants that are loose throughout, but held up at the waist. I guess we all get older.
The shirt may be unique, but it is unlikely to be a sought after item: It is a 228 BLK, bought from the outlet at IHUK. It was my second IH item. I had the original diamond shaped snaps swapped for round ones, to make it look less like I was on my way to the rodeo. Great shirt, I probably should have bought a size smaller.
The combination is really as unflattering as possible given my body shape. I'm top heavy, and wearing tight jeans and a loose shirt really underlines that
Oh, and the photo is obviously horrible. Nothing to do about that

My first Iron Heart back in October 2024

First Iron Heart Item:
IH-634S-14II
Long gone but I appreciated the deep blues in this piece.
I don't think anyone is looking at your jeans @worn2fade
And lucky you found three empty car spots!

The 68-blk was my first Iron Heart purchase, back in the summer of 2018. Some of the buttons were not sewn on particularly well, which took me aback a little, but I still liked the shirt enough to buy a couple more pieces over the years...

Hahahaha, I didn’t think there were many here who appreciated rigs. We need to make a 4x4 thread. Sucks that I don’t have many photos with those 634’s, but at least I have this cool one.
Edit: & late night movie theater parking! Guaranteed spots then haha

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
We started the same year bro! I grabbed my first piece may of 23’

@chelliah beautifully faded dude!

Here are my first Iron Hearts! A pair of very well loved IH-555S-142bb's.
As you can see from the photos, I fear I would be banned from the forum for indecent exposure if I posted a photo of me in them.Worn for like 2 years? pretty much daily and on tour. 3 repairs?
They look class but I feel like they're only going to be a wall piece from now on.
