Introduce Yourself Here
-
Hi all,
Been a lurker for a few months now and finally decided to introduce myself.
Got into the whole denim/quality durable goods for a bit over a year now. Fell into the Iron Heart brand at one of my local stores and really haven't looked back at anything else.
Got a pair of 633S 21oz jeans to start with, followed by the IH-101J-SR 18oz jacket, and have recently picked up a few IHSH western UHFs recently and love them. This is an addicting and expensive hobby, but don't regret investing in these high quality pieces which I hope will last years.
And as a bonus - I get to share the experience and pick up valuable information along the way from a group of awesome people!
Nice to meet you all,

Canada actually! When I was trying to find my first pair of Iron hearts, I knew I wanted the 21oz and thought the cut would work best for me. But now after a few months wish I had opted for 888's instead. 25oz may happen sooner than anticipated

More. Canadians! Fantastic. 25oz after 21oz is standard procedure for a reason! Your in the right place for inspiration.
What about the 888 is attractive compared with the 633?

@jamesnffc wow… that is a find. I remember seeing those a while back. Can’t remember if they were Japanese made or a Gosport collab. @Giles will be able to give you the details.
As for value, generally speaking IH gear doesn’t accrue value on the resale market with the exception of some shirts. That being said, I’d guess it is rare enough and novel enough to generate some interest from fans of the brand.
Also, welcome!

It's not a tool roll. it is a watch roll. I think we made a few as an experiment. I have one and I know Haraki has one. No idea how many we made and no idea if we actually sold any, I suspect if we did, it was super-cheap. There is no historical precedent, so it's worth what you can get for it….

thanks for the infomation I suppose if it is a watch roll I will be keeping it and not selling it on.
It would make sense as it did come to me with some good watches in at work -

Howdy folks! I'm new to the board but not to Iron Heart. I got into raw denim around 2009 and bought my first and only pair of Iron Hearts (so far), the 8301s, in 2015. I lift weights regularly so unfortunately my jeans are constantly rotating out due to fit issues and I had to move the 8301s after about a year.
I found the forum recently while searching for the 20th Anniversary shirt which thankfully I found and it's my first (and certainly not last) UHF. After talking to the folks at Self Edge SF and getting the rundown on current fits, I'm waiting patiently for a restock of the IH-888S-21od so I can get back into some Iron Heart denim!
