@Tago-Mago, haha! Thanks, man! Caught them live last September on the last show of the M72 tour. Great concert! The Damage Inc T-shirt I'm wearing there has always been my favourite bit of Pushed artwork done for Metallica...also one of the best Metallica songs!

Hey all, new to the forum. I’m in NYC.
I’ve been into well-made clothes for a while, but heritage/raw denim’s never really been my thing. Decided to buy a pair of 3sixteen jeans a few years ago, and liked them well enough. Eventually they were huge on me, but I wore them for a couple years nonetheless before finally retiring them 2 weeks ago.
For a replacement I picked up a pair of 21 oz 634’s at Self Edge and immediately fell in love. I’d been vaguely aware of Iron Heart before — mainly had been eyeing some of the leather jackets, and knew about their reputation for quality in general. But did not expect to be bowled over like this; I guess after trying my first pair of 3s jeans, and thinking they were just fine, I figured people were being a little hyperbolic when they described how incredible IH is. Anyhow, I’ve spent the last week doing a deep dive on the website, reading about the history of the brand, reading posts here, etc. and I’ve caught the bug hard. The whole thing just clicked with me.

@selbstzweck I remember feeling this way too and I’m jealous. It so much fun going down these kinds of rabbit holes.

@selbstzweck welcome! It’s a familiar story — I think a lot of us got sort of interested in selvedge stuff via companies like 3s, APC, I+W, etc, then comes the inevitable stumbling upon IH and addiction follows shortly thereafter
It’s a lot of fun. Come for the jeans, stay for the people. Then more jeans. And like 5 CPOs. Glad you’re here — we need fresh minds to enable!

@selbstzweck Welcome! We’re happy you’re here, regardless of how you got here.

100%
It’s nice to see it happen to someone else and watch with a smile.

Thanks all! Glad I'm not alone in IH-obsession madness, lol
