@danieljones33, personally I think they're great. Regarding the 142ib-c, I think they are light, yet stiff. I'm guessing with the dying of both warp and weft along with a tighter weave, it may add to the rigidity. It wears well in the hot weather here for certain. My 21oz 666 feels softer against the legs.

@goosehd, it was made by Tom Sanderson of Hawkmoth Leather. https://www.hawkmothleather.co.uk
His works are incredible! Really love this Memento Mori belt he made. It has aged incredibly well and has developed a great patina thus far.

Good day, all! This is my annual conditioning of the Hides of the Beast. I used Skidmore's Leather Cream which uses natural oils and beeswax.
Anyone else conditions their leather patches, and, if so, what do you use?

@Tago-Mago, haha! Thanks, man! Caught them live last September on the last show of the M72 tour. Great concert! The Damage Inc T-shirt I'm wearing there has always been my favourite bit of Pushed artwork done for Metallica...also one of the best Metallica songs!

@Oaktavia, 'allo! It does get a bit cooler here at night, e.g. it's forecasted to go down to 23° C tonight. Personally, I've found that the 21oz breathes incredible well in both day and night. I've got a pair of 21oz IH-666S-SBG (that Im wearing right now actually) that wears well at night when it's cooler or during the day when it's rainy at not hitting 34° C. I'm guessing with the dying of both warp and weft it makes it breathe less than an undyed weft? The 14oz wears well during hot days, even if it does feel like a tighter weave.

'allo, everyone! I've been lurking here for a few years and finally making my first post. I'm from the island of Trinidad & Tobago, in the Caribbean. I've been wearing Iron Heart for about 2 years, starting off with a pair of IH-666S-21. I'm still amazed at how great these hold up in the Caribbean heat. Since then, I've acquired a few more pieces, all of which are brilliantly made!
Here's a pic I took this morning wearing my IH-526J-142. Thankfully it's that time of the year here where there's a bit more rain and lower temperatures which makes wearing this very comfortable outdoors and indoors in a cold office.
