Happy new year everyone!!

293 and ducks match made in heaven

Kersey is starting to fade a bit, haven't worn it alot as it's quite warm but I love how comfortable it is

397 starting to look quite good, my only work shirt cut shirt

Inaugural outdoor wear of the most recent IH Wescos, also starting to see some high contrast fades coming through on the XHS 777 after around a month of daily wear

Colder morning in Vancouver today so wearing my 208 while working, also my 777 14 oz bb, loving the copper snaps

I really really love the duck CPO

Loving this jacket

Thanks for sharing this information, it is hard to fully grasp all the things that go on in the back end, we get little glimpses of things when the team mentions expecting some stock of something or fabric being unavailable, but I can only imagine the coordination of resources, materials etc. is quite a hectic job on its own and then throwing in so many retailers across the entire globe of timezones.

As many others have echoed, I buy straight from Gosport as the insane level of service that is received makes every cent spent worth it, the love and pride for the brand that everyone so clearly has over there makes every purchase an easy decision. The level of hospitality from Alex when I was in London, the emails I have received about missing a product release that I had communicated interest in, its what makes Iron Heart so special, something that anyone on the outside will never understand. Add the forum on top of it all and its a really awesome community!

Looking forward to whats in store for 2026 from you guys and beyond!!

I love when an older thread bumps back up to the top and it's a product I was not aware existed but upon checking out the thread has me immediately interested, just like this one, another item to look forward to when the time comes!

I got a XL, I asked for closest to measurements as I could get, unfortunately the p2p is just shy of comfortable, hadn't really spent any time in it till I decided to wear it today and realized the fit isn't right.

Probably put about 8 hours total in this, inside at my computer.

Based in Canada but would ship cross border no issue there

Measurements in inches:

Shoulders - 19.7
Length - 29.75
P2P - 22.8
Waist - 21.9
Opening - 22.1
Arm length - 26.7
Sleeve opening - 4.5

They had some of the SS26 stuff hanging at the London showroom when I passed through and it from the limited stuff I saw its gonna be an expensive season for me!

@Oaktavia @SamD so sick, love this kind of evo content, also so much dedicated to the fades!!

@NickD makes sense! I would say too little, I had the same issue with a pair of Lofgren Chapman's and it's gotten better with more wear although not perfect yet but only worn around 7 fully days worth of wear all together.

Other than the left heel these feel really good though and the right one with the medium cushion merino sock vs a lighter dralon before feels way better

Just received mine and they are beauties!! I just tried them on, and have a question about the expected break in, right now it feels pretty hard on the heel, not terribly so, I went for 9D, the 9D MP95 last fit great when I tried them on and didnt get the same heel pressure, it feels like my heel is just getting pressed against the counter, as someone who is not super experienced with boots is this expected to soften up as they leather softens and footbed compresses? I wouldnt say they are unbearable by any means, just dont want to put wear on them if it sounds like I need a different size.

edit: maybe its not the heel counter but the heel cup, thicker socks solved the problem on right heel, still there although less so on left heel

Happy new year everyone!!
