Introduce Yourself Here
-
Hey everyone! I'm Devin - based in Maine. Recently got back into the denim scene after I lost some weight and pulled out an old favorite pair of Levis's with amazing fades that I'd totally forgotten about. Put em on and it was game on. Got me searching and learning (and buying!) again so here I am! Just got a few pieces of IH and love them. I've been part of other online communities (watches and guitars) and am excited to get to know this group. Love all the info and sharing I see here.

Hi Everyone, I'm BMJ.
Someone from another community I’m part of introduced me to selvedge denim while we were talking about moving away from fast fashion and focusing more on well-made products that actually last. That conversation sent me down the rabbit hole a bit, and it’s what brought me here after their recommendation of your products!

Hi all, new member from Sweden here.
Been lurking for a bit and finally decided to join. Interested in heavyweight denim and just picked up my first pair of Iron Heart (IH-888-XHSib).
Looking forward to learning more and being part of the community.
I know that I shall meet my fate, somewhere among the clouds above; Those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love.

Hi all. Also been lurking for a while. Started with a pair of 21oz 666s, added a couple waffle henleys and the 17oz duck untucked CPO, and thought I was done for a while, but the thoughts of this UHR drop possibly being a last chance has me jumping in the forum and likely pulling out the wallet. Loved the idea of the low volume production of this UHR fabric for a small family business the other side of the world. I live in Dublin, Ireland. My grandfather was a draper in Mayo. I didn’t follow in his footsteps but I do try honour that heritage and support smaller producers of loved crafts now that I’m fortunate enough to be able to do so.

@DaveC The number one place my wife and I want to go to in 2027 is Dublin,and Ireland in general. Especially after watching How to Get to Heaven From Belfast. If that does happen I will definitely be reaching to you and any other members of The Forum from Ireland. And by the way Welcome!

Hello!
New member here; a lifelong 13mwz guy who jumped down the rabbit hole of high quality selvedge denim a few years ago. I recently made my very first Iron Heart purchase and love the quality and the range. I can't to add more pieces to my wardrobe and start the fading journey. Currently only own the IHSH-227-IND 12oz Wabash but I'm eager to add a pair of 888's to the mix, preferably the 25oz when they come back in stock! The wabash 12oz is unreal and I love it.
Currently have the Oni Asphalt, TCB Baggy 50's, and the Momotaro #400's in my rotation/daily wear. I've previously owned and tried Oni's secret denim and quite a few samurai and SDA jeans but sold them all as the cuts were not right for me sadly. I'm eager to learn from everyone here on the forum and eventually hopefully contribute some fade progress.
Cheers

@AskAxel Welcome! You came to the right place

I joined some time ago and have worn pairs of denim from some of the major players. ( Not yet Iron Heart) !
I recently bought another pair of samurais after not really seeing much available regarding Iron Heart , that I was keen on in a 34.
Perhaps next time.
I did however purchase the wesco foot patrol when that was happening.Nice to meet you

Hi all, new member here.
I'm Felix from London - currently at uni elsewhere, studying Maths & Philosophy. I'm nineteen, so probably on the younger end of the people in here!
I got into Japanese denim from my Dad, who used to run a denim 'blog' in the mid-2000s. He passed away a few years ago unfortunately, but he left behind stacks upon stacks of Japanese denim (all too large for me sadly) in his wardrobe.
I wonder if he was a customer of Iron Heart at all or if he was ever a part of this forum.
Anyway, I would say I'm pretty content with my collection of Japanese denim now after a year or so going down the rabbit hole. Initially, I started out buying second-hand via Vinted and eBay. Once I worked out what sort of cut and weight I like (straight and mid-heavyweight), I went and bought some pairs from Rivet & Hide. In my rotation currently, excluding second-hand purchases, are:
Iron Heart 21oz 634 IH-634S
Pure Blue Japan 14oz Indigo/Black XX-003-IDBK
Samurai 18oz 'Kinari' (Ecru) S510SC-KIThanks for reading! Looking forward to being a part of this forum!
Felix
