@Madame:

Once again, I am so lucky to have such lovely messages and images posted for me!  (I feel rather a fraud, but I'm not going to ask you to stop!)

@trail and arrow and @twin we are SO looking forward to seeing you at Fish'n'Chips!

@Dirty Denim how wonderful to hear from you, but I cannot believe Sofia is so grown up so quickly!  Where did those years go?  She is absolutely GORGEOUS and I can see you have such fun together.  You referred to "Sofia the 1st", is there something I should know…?  Fondest wishes to you all.

Hi Paula,

Ha nothing brewing with more kids lol.  We have a Disney cartoon called Sofia the 1st here in the states.  Its a cartoon about a girl who is adopted by the king and queen so she is Sofia the 1st

As for Sofia Russo, she is such a wisenheimer already.  Her timing is impeccable with how she knows when to say "I love you daddy super a lot"  lol.  She is the typical 2 year old teenager

Haven't been around in awhile but Paula & G are always popping in my mind.  You 2 are special people.

Sofia the 1st getting so big since u last saw her.  I have daily "paint ur nails daddy" when i come home from work.

Wish you plenty of great laughs and happy times.  We are with ya P

@Seul:

Yeah, I did - same measurement for the chest… Won't take me changes, not even for 30 €...  :-\

The way it is measured is based on actual chest of the wearer and then the shirt has its own measurement.  Same thing goes for the jeans

Of course you can adjust what you want the measurements to be so make it how you want it

putting your 25ozers on top of anything can do that.

Well I need to get my IH game back in order i'm in the XXXL (barely) range now so i'll have to admire for a bit

OMG is this so perfect.  The indigo thread , self twill cuffs , duck canvas with dots & that red thread finishes this up nicely

Whats goin on people?  Everything looking tight & right in here.  Loving G's glasses, Qinhan's Cardi, Anesthetist that Kapital is a real rub it in your face piece & of course your partner in crime & Seul is that a new photo taking spot?

Whats up & thanks for the welcome party..you guys are always great.

Im gonna give my take on this whole Kickstarter Lawless thing

Yes I think the problem with some of his customers style choices prior to kickstarter were cheesy & primarily local walk ins who brought their own ideas.  Some people including the brands we love have had occasional bad taste & I still bought from them.  With Lawless I will make what I want made & it will cost me $69 - $125 for fully customized.  You want something made with the same fabric you saw from another brand …Find it & its Done.  You missed out on a shirt from another brand...DONE.  You cant afford $1000 for a jacket because you are worried your wife will divorce you..No problem its done & at $125.  If you are worried about construction & longevity..the price is worth the chance & is the the same reason why we all have bought cheaper alternatives for certain things.  It might even turn out great & you will save some cash.

For the price Lawless is charging to make a fully custom piece I dont see why you wouldn't tell him what you want .  If you dont like the name Lawless it doesn't have to be put on the garment but you could tell him to put your own choice.  I mean I understand "kickstarter"  brands have the label of being sellouts who didn't want to develop a story of their own by scratching and clawing & watering down the market with I am American so buy my heritage products but with that said if someone is going to come to me with a Jennifer Lopez body & face & she is actually interested in me, I am not gonna tell her but you aren't JLO so I cant hang out with you.  Thats just silly and I think its silly for people to not want to get something that is being sold for $500 for $70 instead.  Of course that doesn't mean there isn't value in buying from a brand who is priced higher than a kickstarter brand.  I mean I love many brands including IH but I don't have the money to go all IH or all Mister Freedom but will occasionally buy 1 thing.

Since when is saving money not good.

Thanks a mil fella's  Iv been keeping up with you @megatron1505 ,  I read a few of your Denim Hunter submissions & @Seul I get reminded of you every time I watch Pehhhpa Pig with my daughter.  I'll stop in to some of the threads to catch up a bit & leave this thread alone for you vultures

Oh no no need to turn off.  I just havent received any previous notifications like the private messages I had in my box.  The tag was the 1st notification I received in a long time other than the releases.  I am glad I did I was just talking about you the other day reminiscing

I'm fat now so i'm doing well otherwise

I actually had conversations with Roman about this & told him to not allow people to just make anything they want as it can be bad for the image.  I agree its atrocious

LOL Not sure why but this is the 1st IH notification iv received in awhile.  I logged in and I had pm's I never got notified about.  Whats up guys.

Yes he def does Mike..I love the idea of some guy making shit out of a small space with only his 2 hands & a sewing machine.  Jack/Knife is another great small brand but a bit bigger than Russell is atm.

Def check out his blog.  He has so many great shirts and bottoms.  He will customize what u want & has some basic denim cuts as well.  He is currently busy till Jan because of a huge TENT making gig he has but I think worth the wait

Some more goodies

Thought you guys would appreciate Russell's work.  He is a one man brand with amazing talent.  Most of his pieces are either custom or test pieces.  He does a lot of vintage workwear but also some simpler styles as well.  You can find more about what he does here http://russellsshirts.blogspot.com/ or on his Etsy here http://www.etsy.com/shop/circleavintage?ref=si_shop

Circle A Brand

Thanks for all the kind words..Mrs. Russo as her students will call her says TY as well

U guys are good people.  Now that Krissy will be paying some bills I can get back to dressing a bit better as in wearing some Iron Heart.

Here is a great thought…I recently put some Iron Heart stuff up for sale on here.  Many of you bought these items.  I had to sell them so I could buy Krissy a few interview outfits.  The money u paid bought Krissy the clothes she wore to the interview for this job.  U guys helped her get the job.  SO THANKS

For the last few years I have been chugging along to put my wife through college.  This past June Krissy got her Masters Degree in Special Education.  I am proud to say I can now take a breath because this amazing wife of mine scored a full time teaching job at a NYC public school months after graduating college.  We were told there was no way she would find a teaching job in NY due to the hiring freeze & to start looking for something else…FECK OFF U DONT KNOW MY WIFE THEN.  Whats even better is my baby girl Sofia has a brighter future.  Words can't explain how proud and happy I am right now
