Haraki's Iron Heart archive. Amazing, but still a work in progress.

Dear Forum Members,

My name is Bernadette and I am Mike (aka “Filthy”) Ogurchak’s mom. I wanted to let you know how much it means to me that you thought so much about Mike. Thank you not only for your thoughts about him but also for the things you donated and/or purchased for the auction. Mike was almost obsessed with Iron Heart clothing and he only wore Iron Heart jeans and usually shirts every day. Every time someone would visit, he would go into his production about Iron Heart clothes and about the Forum. You brought so much joy to his life. I received the medical examiner’s report on Mike’s autopsy this week and as expected, he died from heart disease. The official cause was “coronary dilated myopathy” which means the muscles of his heart were so thick, it obscured the blood flow. Since many of my relatives had similar problems, it was definitely hereditary. Your donation to the American Heart Association will help in the research to find a cause and cure for this. Please know that I think about and pray for all of you daily and hope that you will carry on Mike’s great love of Iron Heart. Your comradery is so touching.

Affectionately,

Bernadette

Moved from Romblon to Anilao….

I would not know a golf bat if it hit me in the goolies.

But I am so very delighted that Rory has completed the grand slam….

There are certain things that we would all love to see make a return, but they either proved too problematical to make in production volumes, or the workshop or mill that made the garments or wove the cloth has subsequently gone out of business, so we just cant. And because what we make is often on the limit of what can be done, there are often no alternatives to go to.....

The original IHSH-08 sample was made out of 21oz superblack denim. It was amazing and we ordered lots, but although the very skilled sampling seamstress could make it, no one else could, so it never even made production....

@sophisto000 We have been trying to redo them for years. It is always a hard n o from Haraki

Up to @Alex as to whether we do them again.......

She put my spare "cardigan" over the top, and all was good.....

But I have repurpose a couple of different sized cable ties for pointers. They are what the guides use here and it's a brilliant idea.....

Getting ready for a muck dive with @Madame-Buttonfly. You'd never know I had just bust the zip of her wetsuit.
