Iron Heart Brand History

[Beatle]

Okay - it came up today - and we agreed that it might be interesting to have a thread that allows us to step back in time.

So - if you have pictures of - for instance - IH 634-S with the first arcs and feel like sharing - post away.

Here´s the first pair of Iron Heart 634-s that Giles ever sold.

In other words - a truly legendary pair.

that's pretty awesome, does the person who bought it know?

[Giles]

Yes he knew, he started the Iron Heart thread on SuFu with them.

I have a 461 pair similar to that (not selvedge) – sold to me by Giles. They're beautiful.

[Beatle]

I don´t know ….

Anyhow - I am trying to hunt down some original arcs and tab owners - right now trying to get a hold of digital denim and his pair.

I hope he is still wearing them - and I hope he doesn´t mind me posting one of his fit pics.

I am trying to get him to take pictures of the jeans / state they are in right now - DD - if ur reading this - help is appreciated...

^ if that was at the self edge party prior to the first release of the SEXIH01s then i think those are the sample jeans arent they? i remember reading that a TON of people came in to try them on. that was before the arcs/tab had to be removed from the sample.

I'm glad you started this b, lookin' forward to the evo of this thread.

Where's the background story of the brand? ???

[Beatle]

will follow…every bits of history..focusing on the products right now - but I´m sure at one point Haraki-san will elaborate on the how Iron Heart became Iron Heart story...

[Beatle]

and some more historical flicks

evolved

[Beatle]

and new arcs an stitched W

I hope I´m not alone on this one - but I actually do prefer the new arcs and the stitched W

[Guest]

Definitely prefer the new look. Why copy Levi's if you can come up with something better?

[ADDIC]

God, I just love that original patch. I wish I could get/buy one by itself somehow.

@simon626:

I honestly like the new ironheart arcs and red dubya. I mean, i'd much much rather someone look at my jeans and think, "Damnnn Ironheart" versus "Oh, some levis…"

Essatamente!

[deadendpro]

^ but thats also the thing fellas… Those in the know, KNOW! hahaha. i see those oldschool arcs and i say

The new ones are really nice too though

I agree. The red W is a nive subtle touch, the OG patch is kinda cheesy but there is something about it i actually quite like.

[Seul]

Absolutely love the red W. And the half arc stitching on collabs.

[Dchill]

I have to admit I like the latest version the most.

[Beatle]

yap, me too…but the inspirational cowboy tearing jeans levi´s adaption was also a nice idea...

[Giles]

I may be able to source one for you Simon…G
