RE: IHSH-189-IND - 21oz Selvedge Denim CPO Work Shirt - "The UnTucked" - Indigo
For those of you wondering who has the sample...
This 21oz CPO will be getting all of my attention. I will be posting here regularly, as I did with the IHSH-409 Sample from two summers ago. I am going to give this thing absolute Hell over the next year and document it all here, your favorite forum.
First impressions are that this thing is built the Iron Heart way. Impressive off the bat, heavy as Hell, yet soft and super comfortable. I really love the way 21oz looks unwashed as it fades initially, so I plan to keep this thing dry as practically possible.
So stoked to start this one! Thank you @Alex and the Stubborn Crew at IH for making this happen. I love Iron Heart! Let's go!
Here you can see the sleeves are wet as I have been setting the creases. I highly recommend using a spray mister bottle (like for plants) to dampen areas that will crease. It helps a ton with creating intricate fold patterns on the inner arms.

RE: IHC-06 - 21oz Indigo Denim Cap
@Mizmazzle cool man. I assume handwash due to the leather adjuster?

RE: Cowboy boots
@Daniel-San thanks man, now I can wear these around and see if I want to go for real gator skin down the road. Fun entry level boots, which is what I was after.

RE: NEW CUT - Relaxed Straight Cut Jeans
Man I feel like a doink as I have read about this all before and just could not recall any of it. Thanks for the refresher, gents.

RE: Cowboy boots
@Daniel-San they're fake/prints. Made by el General in Mexico. I have learned that usually real gator boots are made from sewn pieces of gator (as opposed to one large piece), often are not uniform or symmetrical, and clearly look like scales up close. These boots tick none of those boxes. But thats OK, likely cowhide printed with the gator pattern.

RE: Cowboy boots
@Go-For-Chill thank you for the info, that all makes sense. I am wondering if the leather is faux or real. Are you able to tell from looking at them?

RE: Cowboy boots
@SourPower dude I'm so stoked on these. Found them at Lexington Antiques in downtown Asheville.
@Go-For-Chill said in Cowboy boots:
@Oaktavia Broooooooo! These are wild!! Hornback gator tail is my guess? Keep them puppies well conditioned.
Yeah I assume these could use some TLC. Would Obenauf's work fine on these or do I need something special for the exotic leather?

RE: Cowboy boots
Finally found a pair of wild looking cowboy boots. And holy heck are these wild. Elderly woman at the counter said I was lucky, these were just brought in two days ago. Wear them with pride she said. Fuck yeah.
