Introduce Yourself Here

@AdamJ Thanks! I'm leaning towards the 777 after seeing some videos of them on the Snake Oil instagram feed but also getting some info via the podcasts too.
I'm one of those guys that needs to try it in person..don't have a great pair of jeans to use as a guide to blind order unfortunately!@goosehd thanks! oh yeah...I have the list going in my head already. It's also a tattoo appt trip as well so I'm already prepared to go home broke!
Hoping to maybe pick up a few things, but mostly want to prepare myself with the size options ahead of the trip to Japan in the fall -
@hbg1 What are you getting for a tattoo and who are you getting it with? If you haven't seen it, there is an excellent thread with some inspiration: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/73/tattoos/2?_=1686340389037

@goosehd Awesome, I'll have to bookmark that feed. Thanks for sharing that!
Finishing up a leg sleeve at King's Avenue with Mike Rubendall, should be this appointment and maybe one more after that to finish up the shading and get into color.
Probably about 8-10 hours left on it.This most recent one is a snake and skull with some cherry blossoms to tie in the tiger/cherry blossoms on the back...I'll try to post some photos in that thread.

Hey guys, thought I’d share an update as requested.
Self edge was great, had every intention of just looking but picked up my first pair of Iron Heart yesterday!
Went with the IH-777S-142bb, should be here in about a week!Also need to add some photos to the tattoo thread as well, had a great 4 hour session today. Thankfully I’ve got a week for the swelling to go down
Now to start looking at flannels…what have I gotten myself into

Hi, my name is Tom and I have a denim addiction. It all started with some gateway Unbrandeds, then Bravestars, and now IH. I got tired of the same ol weaksauce target jeans that buckle under abuse, and Carhartt's fit like shit. Levi's had reduced quality and became inconsistent and difficult with sizing. I don't want to wear jeggings, I want something that is going to hold up to motorcycling, wrenching, chopping and hauling trees, tracking deer, and wrasselling in gravel if I so happen to. When I get into something, I always take it too far, and that's what I respect about this company IH. I believe you get what you pay for in most cases, but there is a point of diminishing returns. IH seems to be maximum yield for the moneys, and the community here, facilitated by the brand itself, is on another level. I'm new to this, but I think I'll be around a while. I want to thank you guys for being cool.

Hi, my name is Luigi, I'm a 45 years old guy from Italy
, new in the IH world and immediately addicted to it. I already know some of you thanks to the wonderful photos you posted on the various platforms and I hope to meet many other friends, Denim and Leather lovers. Apologies to everyone for my bad English, please bear with me, I have also lived in Anglo-Saxon countries but sadly the knowledge of the language slipped on me. I will conclude by saying that I am open to any advice you deem fit to give me. Thank you all for your attention and have a good weekend 
Luigi
cool, North of Germany here
