Theme Week March 2-6 - Show us What You've Got....

I was new to the Japanese selvedge game and the realisation that I've been doing denim wrong all these years hit me hard enough to know that I only had the single choice; to dive deep into Iron Heart one piece at a time. And where else to start? Jeans. Because a journey has to start somewhere, and where better, right?
Santa Josh delivered the 777 as the perfect fit after I joined the team in October 2024. The fades are coming along extremely well too (for anyone thinking of asking; the fade on the left hand side pocket is usually home to a iPhone 16 Pro Max in my pocket - so no, I'm not pleased to see you - settle down).
Love these jeans. Currently also got 777 natural indigo for that more prolonged fading journey. Looking to make it a hattrick soon but perhaps trying something different?

My first IH piece was a pair of 666S-21L in March of 2019 and they have since moved on to another forum member after I outgrew them. Here Iโm wearing my first shirt and second pair of jeansโฆ33 and 777S-21

Wife got me these in 2024, 634 21oz(9 months of wear). The Pair that started my IH addiction. Had a pair of sugarcanes before these that got me back in selvedge denim after 4 yrs hiatus. Good to be back and all in on IH -
It's really cool to see some of the OG pieces in this thread. I'm a newbie but like @68degreesorless, my first IH was 633 21oz from Self Edge. Amazing denim that's into the "sweatpants soft" phase for me. The day I went to buy the jeans, I lucked out that SE had this flannel (IHSH-411) in my size as well.

@KongPrecision which shoes are those? Shoes like pottery?

My first two pairs of Iron Heart were bought in rapid succession circa 2010, or so. Superblack 301 from Self Edge in SF, and a pair of pre-lawsuit 634s I snagged on eBay.

My very first Iron Heart item was a well loved pair of 555XHSib. Those got me hook, line and sinker. I grew out of that pair though and sold them. This started back in 2019.
My next peice and oldest one I have in my collection is one of my all time favorites, the IHJ-72. I bought this from a guy in Ireland on here (forget who), also in 2019. I was drinking IPAs by the gallon as a chaser for bourbon back then, so I was a little booze chunky. This caused me to sell it to another forum member who subsequently sold it to @Daniel-San. He had it for a few years before I asked him if he would kindly sell it back to me (after I lost about 30lbs). Daniel abliged and a deal was made. The IHJ-72 is back in my hands! I plan to thrash this one again this fall.
