    I'm a denim and leather lover to the core. I sew and make bags and other soft goods on the side, and also enjoy working with newer tech fabrics as well. All materials have their place and can be quite useful. However, nothing beats natural options! I love knowing that something is only getting better as I wear or use it. I have an office job as the COO of a nonprofit working with people coming out of a lifestyle of addiction, and I see myself in many of their faces. I know that anything can get out of hand for anyone and become an addiction - that's why I wanted to be a part of this community, rather than simply a consumer of more and more products. I enjoy IH for the longevity and delayed gratification, and I'd like to model my life around that concept.

      "I've always wondered what this day would feel like" is something I've thought several times today, wondering if there was anything specific I could capture to carry with me. Today marks 10 years since I put down heroin for the last time, and honestly today what I feel is the same gratitude I had at 1, 2, 3 years, etc. (For me) It turns out there's no magic number for happiness, it's simply remembering to be grateful, regardless of the day or the occasion.

      This IHSH-07 Hickory Stripe is one of my absolute favorite pieces, and I am grateful that I was able to purchase it here on the forum. Sometimes a second chance can really bring a thing to life!

      The snow came, and brought a lot more than we expected. Doesn't snow here often (maybe once every 4-5 years), so we're pretty excited lol
      Dog is very excited. 12 inches is insane.

      Adding another vote for orange. Sized up 1 in this release and it was a good decision. If the blue I snagged was one size larger I'd probably keep that one too, but I'm digging the orange more anyway, so no regrets! The fabric on these is excellent.

      Been thoroughly enjoying the colors on the new UHF. It's the perfect cool weather companion, much like my little friend here. The UHF will likely be a go-to for evening rides/walks for the next few months. Now I need to get a western cut. I wish so bad this blue was as slim as a western!

      How I spent most of my day, waiting for the snow to come. Where I live we're lucky to get 1 snowfall per year, and even luckier if it accumulates at all. Here we are a few hours later with 6 inches; the most I've seen in 10 years since I moved here!

      With all this hurricane weather coming in on the coast, it seems to be cooling off a bit these past couple of days. This is the first morning I've been able to sit on the front porch with the pup for more than 5 minutes without sweating through my clothes. Really looking forward to the fall & winter seasons.

      @Indigo-Alchemist Taking inspiration from you and @SamD for the flannel & untucked with yet another IH layer! Sitting in a corporate leadership class all day feeling smugly superior to all these regular ol' button up shirts 😁

      Freaking love the slub type 3. It's as comfortable as sashiko fabric with even better fading potential, and probably the best fitting piece I've had by Iron Heart overall.

      Cold enough to layer up these past couple nights for the last dog walk.
      The Indigo Invitational Battle Rag came in safely after some concerns about potential import issues to the US. Using the IHSH-361 as a mid layer and the SBG fabric is surprisingly not warm at all lol

      @dbj316 Yeah this shirt should have come with copper snaps from the start; it really looks so much better. Question - was the male side of the snaps on the shirt you upgraded left silver?

      @cyclops I may be doing some slight alterations on mine (depending on how the first wash/dry cycle goes), but I agree it's mostly what I needed. Sometimes we're just a bit in-between!

    • RE: IHSH-442-SAX - 9oz Selvedge Flannel Check Work Shirt - Sax Blue

      @CosmoSix5 Same here. The fit in the body is excellent (finally a shirt that doesn't flare out at the waist!!), but the sleeve length killed it for me. Was able to buy a size larger in the Orange, but not SAX blue, so I'll be making the same swap! Honestly, orange was first to catch my eye anyway, so I just hope it's not too big around the waist compared to shoulder & chest like most other IH shirts.

      I wonder if this material shrank more than they expected? Seems unlike IH to come up short on sleeve length... It's one of the things they specifically tout for motorcycle wear, after all.

      I found this to be an interesting comparison. Wife has yet to notice they are two different shirts lol

      The sleeves on these are SHORT! That's not usually a measurement I pay much attention to, but I didn't realize it would be a whole 1.5" shorter than the FW25-26 UHF releases. Working on an exchange to see if the Orange one is longer like the size chart shows.

      Man, this was a wild ride. I intentionally set a meeting for release time so I wouldn't be tempted, but of course I found both colors in the sizes I was considering 3 hours later and ended up getting this one. The funniest part is I was dead set on getting orange until I saw that group photo of the IH team and this one stood out more.

    • RE: IHSH-442-SAX - 9oz Selvedge Flannel Check Work Shirt - Sax Blue

      Happy to see the measurements taper down from chest to waist to opening on this one. For the longest, it seems like most of my IH shirts have had a wider opening than waist, but this one looks like it will sit just right around the hips without any sewing. Love it.

      @VegaS10 Man, we talk about it all the time. Living 5 minutes from the beach has its perks, but between weather and the cost of living I feel the mountains calling my name! I'm actually surprised this year it hasn't been too bad yet. Even got to wear my 361 today. I'm stoked to see what the temp limit for these lighter flannels will be for me. Hopefully I can make it in time for either the blue or the orange - I'd be happy with either. Hopefully there's plenty of stock!
