        I've been wondering… IH is obivously part of the bike culture in Japan. Are these people the ones that wear IH the most over there or are there other larger groups amongst which IH 21 oz is a staple? I wonder if there's a certain perception people over in Japan have when they see someone rocking IH.

        In Germany (as probably everywhere) there are certain brands which are associated with a certain lifestyle. I'd just like to know if there is something like that for IH apart from Harley driving badasses. 😉 But most likely - even in Japan - Iron Heart is too small a company to even be recognised by the masses...

        Just random thoughts... 🙂

                  I found myself wondering once
                  if there ever was a real life logger
                  who wore IH logger pants to work

                        Dunno, of regular posters here, me and Nemesis are bikers. Must be couple more. And Denim Sailor with his MOD rocket Vespa 😉

                        I must say this now, they stopped producing real Harleys in 1965. And I hate MoCo.

                          @ Werder: Fashion? No, as that implies following trends and changing wardrobe according to the current fashion to me. And non of the users here sees denim or IH gear as trend. In sense of looking for quality, outlasting and incredibly good looking clothing, than yes, that's what all of us do here. That's also why Giles didn't take part in this ominous lookbook, thank god.

                          Bikes? As IJ said, there are some bikers here, but even if IH's roots lie in the bike scene, must of us would agree, that riding a bike is not a must for wearing IH. But, tbh, I am even more thinking of getting a motorbike since I joined this forum.

                            GO FOR IT.  (Despite what I said in my previous post, Sportsters make real nice hardtail bobbers)

                            That'll be a life long adventure which will change everything for you.

                              Fashion to me just means clothing. But I've noticed a lot of members here relate the word to trend/fads.

                              We're all here because we want to be fashionable which to me means looking good in clothing and enjoy fine quality.

                                To me good clothing and fashion are two completely different types.

                                @ IJ: Yes, I'm sure it will. Unfortunately I am a) pretty much broke each month and b) untalented when it comes to mechanical skills. I would not want to ride a modern spaceship motorcycle, but some old ride with character. And that's where my missing skills come at me…

                                  Definition of fashion from Wikipedia:

                                  a general term for a currently popular style or practice, especially in clothing, foot wear or accessories. Fashion references to anything that is the current trend in look and dress up of a person

                                  I would strongly argue that Iron Heart is not fashion.  We do not care what is "in fashion". nor do we look at what is happening in the fashion world.  We aim to create clothing that you will look as good in in 20 years as you do today.

                                  I've said it before on this forum.  Once when asked in an interview, "What do you think the fashion trends in denim will be next year", may answer was "I don't give a fuck"

                                      Stop spending too much on, dare I say…clothing.  😉 Your wardrobe is good for another year as it is now.

                                      I think there's pretty good variety of Sporties for example, to be had in Germany for quite fair price.

                                      Or then get brand new Iron 883. You just ride that 😉

                                      Mechanical skills develop while you're at it. There's tons of good forums to ask Q's and ofcourse you can always ask me and pay in used quality clothes....

                                      There is never good reason NOT to buy a motorcycle...

                                      (Or check if you can find a Kawa W650 for a reasonable price. Fun lil' bike)

                                        I see, i need to save up a bit more and read more about bikes. Since I was a kid, when something was interesting for me, I kept reading everything I could find about it. That's why I joined this and other forums, and I think I need to do that for bikes, too.

                                        Good to know, that I couls also ask you, hehe…

                                          got my 9634Z soaking wet this very morning on the way to work and the trusty denim now
                                          soaks my chair....

                                          What can I say riding a bike in rain with IH denim is rather satisfying!
