Now I work in the Sheet Metal Union in a shop and as of yet I don’t wear my Iron Heart stuff to work...because I’m afraid of ripping random holes in them on raw corners of sheet metal.

As a craft worker that works directly with sheet metal workers, I can certainly agree with this. Tinners I work with like to leave duct work all over the place, on job sites. I'm constantly weaving in and out of it. I've caught two pairs of denim on sharp edges, before. I still wear IH to work. But, it's XHS, and I only wear it in winter...

I wear my IH to work but the closest thing to work related wear and tear that I get is creases in my elbows from constant face palming during conference calls and while trying to decifer shoddy plans/specs

[Danimal506]

@GraemeE Oh no it happens to you too?! Hahah
(The shotty plans and face palms)

[GraemeE]

@Danimal506 the plans:
People in Patagonia vests telling people in Carharts that they need to fit 10lbs of shit in a 5 lb bag

@GraemeE haha…tale as old as time

[Denman John]

@GraemeE That’s why I wear Iron Heart

I’m glad this thread exists, so I can see what IH can really handle!

@Mister_Brue I've had my fades questioned before on IG too. It's just what some folks tend to do on there. IDK. I think they just must be indigo (green) with envy. Heck those haters, dawg.

making and shifting wood @Mister_Brue

Making wood - careful with that thing

[endo]

it's a dirty little beasts, but very useful

[Leadley]

I can blow through cheap workwear pants in 3 months so it’s almost a smart investment to wear IH to work….. (at least that’s how I justify it to myself ha ha)

Lol

?

[Giles]

Wood is slang for an erection. So, making wood is........

[endo]

ah, you never stop learning things in this forum, whether they are useful ...

[Danimal506]

@Leadley That's true!

For me, my main worry is that I’m going to have a basically new pair of pants and walk into a sharp edge of material, slice a six inch cut into my pants and then have to stitch them back. But maybe I’ll just get really good at hand sewing and sashiko stitching in the process? Haha
