Where does everyone live?

Hi everyone!
I just joined the Iron Heart community very recently with buying my first Iron Heart Denim Jacket from Self Edge in NYC (23oz Type III overdyed). I am 31 years old and originally from Germany. The last few years I lived in Berlin. Making use of my employer's "Global Mobility Program" I've moved to Manhattan in April. Since several years "well-made" clothing became a major hobby besides motorbiking. It started with a pair of denim jeans from Rogue Territory, followed by a pair of Blaumann (Denim jeans made in Germany). My love for well made stuff extended to jackets when I saw my first Aero Leathers jacket. Aero jacket #3 is currently in the making.
Since years I was searching for a denim jacket that fits my torso (6.6 tall and athletic). I tried several jackets from 3Sixteen, Pure Blue Japan, Sugar Cane to name a few. Unfortunately, always without success.This weekend I more or less accidentally passed by Self Edge. I’ve read about the store before but never made it in. Without real hope to finally solve my „problem“ I stopped and walked in. While browsing through the denim jackets on their rack my attention was grabbed by a dark, hefty feeling jacket (I guess I’m biased by my CXL jackets). I first tried a 44 which already raised my hopes to finally find a jacket that fits. Unfortunately not perfect and still a little short in the arms. I tried a 46 - the jacket was not significantly wider in the body, but arm and body length were spot on for my personal taste. I learned I was looking at an Iron Heart jacket. Of course Iron Heart was not new to me as a brand, but I didn’t know that they are inspired by motorcycle gear and thus come with longer arms than other jackets (also about 2 inch).
That was exactly what I needed!Nick, the salesman in the store, congratulated me that I fell in love with the most expensive denim jacket in the store and honestly, I am still in shock that a denim jacket could cost more than USD 500, but from what I heard, Iron Heart is worth it.
Sorry for my lengthy intro

Home is in Seattle, but for the coming school year we're in Fontenay-sous-Bois, just East of Paris, in my family house. It's going to be the 3rd generation living in this house, and the 2nd going to the school I went to. Currently getting re-accustomed to the French strikes & demonstrations…
