What's your single most all-time favorite Iron Heart piece ever?
-
I would say my very first pair of 634s. I had lost a lot of weight and decided to buy a nice pair of jeans, when I got them I had some reservations but Giles spoke to me about how the jeans would eventually sit naturally and look better. They sat in the closet for a bit and the first of the year I decided to break them in properly. I think in two months since I have worn them everyday but two… when they were washed and drying. They are so damn comfortable. Other than that I would say my 99 will be right up there. Ive always liked black shirts and the fit just worked for me and I can see it becoming a frequent wear item.

Bottoms: Even though I wear my 633s 90% of the time, my all time favorite pair is my DC4001. It was my first real foray into high end denim and that feeling is hard to replicate. Plus, they are probably the most detailed pair of IH bottoms out there: Half lined pockets, an embroidered tab, selvedge belt loop, off centered back loop, extra large leather tag, duck lined pockets, etc. An epic pair!
Shirting: IHSH-22 & IHSH-26bk: My first two IH shirts and I really dont NEED anything else. The 22 is amazingly soft, layers well, and still looks brand new after 6 years. The 26bk is my go to summer shirt and has been been washed at least 60 times. I was worried about durability given how light it is, but year after year it only gets better. Plus, I love the backed buttons, chain stitched pockets, and neon green runoff. I need to find another someday or convince G&H to dip one of the USN chambrays [emoji6]
Jackets: IHJ-08 -light, warm, and tough as nails.
Hardware: IH mid cordovan wallet. My wife gave it to me for our 10 year anniversary and I wouldnt trade it for anything!

As for me, it's a really tough choice. My XHS have a special spot as my first, plus that masochistic bonding ritual we endure. My 666N have easily been worn most. My 16 is my go to shirt. I'm currently in awe of the 526L.
So yeah, I think whatever I'm currently wearing is the safest answer

Really great thread,really tough call,but the IH item that totally blew my mind more than any other is IHSH-161. The corduroy totally surpassed any expectations of what I thought that fabric could feel like. My 555-01s are my go to/favorite jeans. I love a white pie with sausage and mushrooms.

Another one which I absolutely love is my 71. It's so dam comfy and warm. Plus the pockets make dam practical.

I really love my IH-526jod. Pretty sure it will outlive me.

MBB's the 25oz was a bitch at first but I wore them for 2 years solid and they became so soft.
Don't wear them that much anymore but still love them.33blk is another one of my favourites. That has seen plenty of wear too.
I may be bias, but the MBB's were double wicked bad.
Out of left field my favourite jacket is the original first zip.

The 17 Oz First Zip is awesome. Mine doesn't get enough wear.

Never expected this to be, but my most worn and complimented jacket is IH 527 J. I was even complimented on it today. Surprised that for as much as I wear it , it doesn't fade much.
Jeans would definitely be the 1955UHR
Shirt IHSH-33
