Iron Heart Brand History

[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

[Dchill]

Simon, you should frame it as an homage to IH!

i love the decal on the original patch

The first jeans were the 634 (non selvedge) or similar.  Shirts did not happen until about 5 years ago.  When I started working with Haraki about 6 years ago, there were the models on offer:

IH-634
IH-461
IH-1634
IH-1461
IH-634S
IH-526J
IH-527J
IH-1527J

That's all….G

That's amazingly focused - love it!.. Thanks for the info, Giles!..

Guessing the last couple of years IH has been really growing as a brand then!.. Autumn 2k10 and spring 2k11 will have so many new items, and buyers!..

I got a one sentence history of iron heart:

Lookin good, yesterday, now and forever (all with the same pair of jeans)

[Giles]

Just got gospel from Haraki.

Whilst the holding company Works Inc has been around for some time, Iron Heart as a brand was not created until 2005.

The first pair of Iron Heart jeans to come out of the work shop were IH-634 in March of that year.

[Gilbertt]

any idea what that pair looks like now?

came across some 2008? Iron Heart product pictures,  that might be interesting to see for some
