@nenad_mandich still have it for sale or trade

@Matt we could just mail mine back and forth and give it the attention it deserves

I don't wear this one enough. Definitely going to start wearing it any time this thread is bumped.

For those of you with a lot of Iron heart pieces, how do you remember the model numbers of each item?
I presume you write it on the item somewhere like on the tag with permanent marker.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated from your experience.

I add items to my post on the tell us all what you've got section, and only really reference it if/when I sell a piece. I have a handful of absolute favs that I always remember the name/number of, and probably will until the end of time.

Washed and wore mine yesterday for the first time in a while. I think I'm gonna try and break it in more this summer by just wearing it with a tank top and letting my arms breathe.

the one above has the side gussets as well, which the 396 didn't. The way the collar is falling looks like it's a lighter weight as well. I'd still say it's a 56.

Was having a convo with a friend the other and was curious what you all had to say. We were talking about how everyone seems to have a handful of websites that they check daily or weekly. Like their own little grounding bubble of sanity on the internet. What are yours?

Not including stuff that you have to check daily for work, like email or whatnot.

Mine would probably be:
IH Forum
FB Marketplace for deals/free stuff
a couple vinyl record trading forums
Depop/Grailed/eBay (just search every couple of days for the same handful of keywords)
Sometimes ValetMag, but lately I haven't been as interested in their daily writeups

price drop before I put the jacket on eBay or Grailed

69 maybe.

niceeeeeeee

@Oaktavia Maybe an IHSH-56?

@biigbab it would probably take the color well, but the stitching would likely still be white.

Pics or it didn't happen!

I don't usually have this many t-shirts hanging, but I tend to have more hung up when it starts to get hotter out. All on track shelving, so I can move some of the shelves around when I want to mix it up. I also swap out the fur and felt hats for straws, which I haven't had to do yet.

Didn't know SJ made a tee, also very excited to discover that they have a white tank. Might have to give those a shot!

Although, with that said, after a few months I usually give in and just decide to work it into the rotation anyways.

If I have a pair that I'm keeping tucked away for later, I usually try and leave them somewhere that is visible on the daily. Like tucked into the closet and folded with out of season jackets or sweaters. Somewhere where it's out of the way, but still seen weekly. Otherwise, I'll completely forget that I own it and it'll never get used.

Interested in this as well. My favorites from back in the day were the Buck Mason slub tees, which I bought a bunch of when the US made ones were still $28 a piece. Don't know if they're worth the $48 a piece that they are now, though.

My biggest thing that I can't stand with tees are they are either too heavyweight and rigid (even after multiple washes) or the collar is too tight. I like a little bit of breathing room around my neck.

Really want to grab some of these at some point. Part of me wants to ice dye them with different shades of blue here and there.

@Ikeaparty is that a Larch Wood cutting board? Looks just like the ones I have.

bump with price drop!
