My first WAYWT here. Last day of a long weekend down in Sydney, in Hyde Park this morning.

IHSH-247-IND

I haven’t got the watch game of many here, but I’m proud of this Carrera Heuer reissue from 1996 that I picked up 10 odd years ago. I’d always liked the Carrera TAGs, but this reissue just struck me as classic and unfussy.

My shirt arrived yesterday, it’s my first IH piece and like many I was stressing a little on sizing, I went with the XXL I think I nailed it thanks to the measurements provided here, Corelection, and other retailers.

With this purchase and sizing going well I’ll feel much more confident for more pieces in future.

No fit pics yet, it’s been 30*c+ here and humidity around 80%+, not heavy flannel weather

Dug out an old Stones record, it’s seen better days, but still turns well.

Hi all, I'm a relapsing after 10 years of raw denim sobriety. Really intrigued by the Iron Heart garments, though most of them are completely unsuitable for weather here in Brisbane, Australia - especially this time of year. I've no doubt there's a few Aussies around these forums though.

I've been lurking through the forums the past few days, envious of some great limited release products that I've missed, but excited to see what's to come. I know there'll be a few shirts in my future at the very least. Currently eyeing IHSH-13-BLU (is 10oz chambray going to be too hot here?) and IHSH-308-IND (12oz herringbone definitely too hot right now, but I love some herringbone!). And I'm drawn to the 633 14oz, but I'm in between the 36 and the 38 according to Self Edge's measurements.

Thanks for this great forum!

@JunkPants said in IHSH-189-BRN - 17oz Duck CPO Work Shirt - "The UnTucked" - Brown:

@BD81 Rivet and hide has XXL in stock. (I just got an XL from them, this thing is great).

This was true once again; Rivet and Hide had a XXL in stock yesterday. This thread is responsible for me fixing the situation.

Brisbane, Australia. Hot and humid lately!

I’ve got a growing collection of records, a mix of blues/rock, classic rock, and hip-hop vibes. Most of it is new or re-issued, but I’m lucky to have some of my Dad’s original Beatles and Rolling Stones records.

Thanks all for the warm welcome! I love the details, aesthetic and obvious quality of IH, it won't be long until something is winging it's way to me.

I knew there'd be some Aussies and other folks burdened by hot climates around the place. I'm looking forward to the Sprin/Summer collection, which I think should be announced soon. Some 9oz unbrushed flannels would be perfect for our Winter.

@Oaktavia , as you might already know, it's the logo from the 80s TV show Airwolf, a favorite of mine as a child. The theme song has been my phone's ring tone for what must be 20 years now, since an old Nokia I had to program the notes into myself!

One of my late father's favourites, I'm sure he got it from somewhere: "Bullshit baffles brains, fucks science, and rules the world"

Seems more apt every day.

I'm expanding my jazz appreciation thanks to the likes of you @J-IV and @GraemeE, much appreciated. I'm interested, but don't know much of where to start, so I'm enjoying putting your suggestions on the stereo via Apple Music.

Just picked this, my first IH piece, up for a steal on a boxing day sale from Corelection here in Australia.

It seems it wasn't too popular down this way for some reason, but sold out in most sizes everywhere else. I won't be able to make use of it for a few months, but I can't wait for it to arrive.

Corelection.com - Iron Heart Ultra-Heavy Flannel Crazy Check Western Shirt (Mustard Brown)

I'm looking forward to shirts in the 5-10oz range. There's been some very cool ones in past seasons that I've retroactively lusted after, so here's to hoping for some new gems now that I'm clued in!

@Mister_Brue I had a cheat sheet Despite currently trying to learn guitar, I have no actual music talent!

This shirt reminds me of a The Flat Head yellow and brown herringbone western flannel I had near 15 years ago. That was a great shirt. Seen here in the snow outside a bar in Niseko Japan - surely it's natural habitat! (excuse the poor resolution)

Has Iron Heart ever made a rugby jersey? There's some cool possibilities with heavy cloth and various patterns I'd think.

I just blew my savings on some 2nd hand pick ups, but this CPO is calling me! It looks so good in @SamD 's insta reel for the "coming this week".

@Shaun I completely agree, that's how I spec'd mine, I love it!

Shout out to @MTpockets for fantastic communication in the purchase of a pair of classic IH flannel shirts. The package was sent promptly and safely to the halfway point of my sister in Las Vegas, where it'll be on sent to me down in Australia.

I'm sure the shirts will be in excellent condition when they get here, even if the weather is still stinking hot and they'll have to wait a few more months before getting decent wear time!

Dogs are the best. People, not so much. Glad to hear your dog is OK, @GardenState
