Have you tried turning it off and on again?

@Matt said in F/W 24 Top 3:
I’ve got two shirts from this collection in my top 5 but I’m beginning to suspect I have…
too many shirts? 🫤
You do wonder sometimes where it will end. Alone, presumably, wearing a 21oz selvedge nappy, surrounded by $10,000 dollars worth of shirts.

RE: IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigoposted in Bottoms
^ great starting point for those, took me a while to realise 634 can work on a slim frame, wish I'd taken a chance on it sooner.
I've just got a stock notification in for these, time to come full circle with OG cut & denim.

RE: The Red Wposted in The Resource Centre
I'm sure it goes without saying to anyone who has had the most cursory look, but don't just take a seam ripper to the shirt tags. Those stitches are integral to the structure of the shirt rather than exclusive to the tag. Removing those tags is a more delicate operation.
I have to say I don't remove IH branding without a twinge of guilt, and of course it can impact on potential resalability. For me it's partly that spending IH money on a shirt just isn't politic, socially or domestically, in my circles. I believe the gear, and the pleasure and fun of long-term ownership, is worth the coin, but I'm pretty keen to avoid that conversation with others. And I am concious of the irony implicit in the concept of high-end workwear.

RE: IHJ-103-IND - 12oz Wabash Chore Jacket - Indigoposted in Jackets
@themage I just got mine yesterday - I sized down to M from my usual L. It's a good fit, but fairly snug in the chest. I'll wear it exclusively open, so it will work for me, but have a good look at that P2P - it's the outlier measurement with this one, and I think the reason it's been slow to move. I'd say my M is a typical L in every other dimension.
My first chore jacket, and I love it - as Oaktavia says, it wears more like a blazer or sport coat than our usual short denim jackets, so nice for a different look, and you know it'll fade nicely.

RE: IHSH-293-OD - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Blackposted in Shirting
I'm your height but 15kg lighter and my L is a reasonably trim fit in chest and shoulders. I'd say XL is the safer bet.

RE: IH-6634-BRN - 14oz Heavy Corduroy Straight Cut Pants - Brownposted in Bottoms
I got these and the beige as the final indulgence prior to a spending freeze - and no buyer's remorse here, simply the nicest corduroy I've handled. I had them in mind as potentially good for work, but the very relaxed fit (on me anyway) and luxe fabric rules that out I think. Instead they're the ultimate weekend loungers, the thinking man's sweatpants. Softening up beautifully, if they're as hard wearing as people say it's really the ultimate trouser fabric. Hopefully one of the Japanese workshops step up with an alternative, a charcoal pair in 666 would be another must have.

RE: IHM-39-BLK - Military Serge A2 Deck Jacket - Blackposted in Jackets
@will6er Yes, in the N1 category for sure. No guarantees it'll be back of course, it was a seasonal/limited release, but I'd hope with it selling fairly quick in the mainstream sizes that we'll get a re-run.

It's 1am here, gotta get to bed. I'll come back in the morning and have a hard stare at the numbers on that last 4XL.

RE: IH-829-IND - 21oz Serge Work Pants - Indigoposted in Bottoms
They soften up very fast. My second workpants after the wabash, and I think it's my favourite cut - a strong but kinda neutral workwear look that would suit any age or body type. Love the simply adorned, straight back pockets, the small fabric patch, and the almost-slash pockets at the front that are that bit easier to access. Quintessential IH I think, and all the better that it's pretty unique to Iron Heart. My only concern (not one most here will share, admittedly) is that they'll fade a bit too aggressively - I won't hesitate to wash mine pretty often. I'd love a non- or slow-fade version for actual work, but I'll be in for the black anyway if they come back in my size!

More work pants. My favourite IH cut!

@BorisB I think the indigo dyeing causes some shrink, so yes, you may need to size up.

RE: IHUK Staff Measurements…posted in Iron Heart Website Hints
Crew, don't know if you're aware, but on the main website the link to SamB's vitals in the product details is linking to SamD's measurements ie. 5'8 vs 6' etc. Might be leading to some customer confusion. Unless it's me who's got it muddled.

@Mizmazzle Regrets, I've had a lot, and that brown work jacket is one of the big ones. Good fit on you.

RE: Anyone here play video games?posted in Hobbies and Pastimes
@SKT Have you played any of the Souls games or Bloodborne? It's cut from the same cloth, but a big open world. Too big, I found - I preferred the more linear, contained earlier games and gave up half way through Elden Ring. It's widely loved though. If you've never played a From Software game prepare for quite challenging combat and limited hand-holding as regards both game mechanics and narrative. It's one I keep feeling I should go back to, but I don't think I'm up for the relentless hostility of that kind of game anymore!

RE: Motor Sportposted in Sport
Remember the Audi RS6 V10? Seems mad looking back, and it's long gone, as is M5 V10 and even Lamborghini's. I'd love that era of F1 to return, but surely the PR would be fatally out of step with the zeitgeist. More's the pity.
Ferrari's 12 Cillindri engine is the same format as it's Le Mans winner. There's definitely a trickle down of tech, albeit pretty diluted by the time it makes it to our daily drivers.

I've fallen hard for this jacket, hoping it'll be back for FW25. Gotta be black though, it's functional unpretentious style in the best IH way.

Yeah he would.
A vile slight - I apologise.

RE: NEW CUT - Relaxed Straight Cut Jeansposted in Future and Planned Products
Can't see Giles heading to the tropics in 25oz denim. An easy-wearing mid weight would be ideal for this cut imo.
