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

      It’s finally cool enough that I can start wearing my IH shirts! As long as I stay out of the sun and don’t elevate my heart rate. Even then I probably won’t make it past midday!

      I’m dog sitting Bruno for a friend this weekend. My boxer Hobbes passed almost 2 years ago and I’ve missed his company very much. Having Bruno visit is nice, similar but different to Hobbes.

    • RE: Watches - another OCD problem

      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.

      @Aetas loving having him here so much. It’s been a wet weekend, lots of cuddle time on the couch. I’ve got slobber marks on all the clothes I’ve been wearing, but that’s just the love of a boxer and I’ve missed it

    • RE: IHB-01 Super Heavy Duty Cowhide Belt

      My very first Iron Heart piece, bought from Self Edge back in 2008 during my initial raw denim phase, the Self Edge Exclusive IH Super Tan Belt.

      I spent some time trying to work out what it actually was, clearly related to the current IHB-10 belt, but mine isn’t even stamped with the Iron Heart logo like the current belts are. Eventually I traced it back through the topics and I’m pretty sure it’s this IHB-01, the same as @Giles belt, and just about as old!

      Mine hasn’t had quite the wear of Giles’ belt, and is in need of some TLC, but has had pretty regular wear for the past 16 years, and has been my daily belt since finding my way back to raw denim and Iron Heart. And it has plenty of life in it still. I just need to order some quality oil for it asap!

    • RE: IHSH-372-BRN - Ultra Heavy Flannel Brown Crazy Check Western Shirt - Brown

      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.

    • RE: Introduce Yourself Here

      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!

    • RE: IHSH-189-BRN - 17oz Duck CPO Work Shirt - "The UnTucked" - Brown

      @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.

      @jimcasey I've seen one IH shirt in the wild here in Brisbane, at a craft brewery naturally! He had a denim shirt; I had a flannel - we both did a double take realising what we were seeing. We didn't actually say anything to each other, but we knew!

    • RE: Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

      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.

    • RE: Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?

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

    • RE: Introduce Yourself Here

      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!
