Really impressed with this one. Almost impossible to photograph the lighter blue color but it's a showstopper. SUPER excited to see how this one fades. These photos don't do it justice. Sad the Texas Sun dictates I won't get to wear it until October. Now if only I could get my family to plan all work trips to Japan around all the Iron Heart release dates...
Things are being rearranged but here’s the temporary setup.
Trying to summon the courage to put on my new magic standing denim. It’s 95F and only 53% humidity out today. I expect Iron Heart to cover the cost of a custom denim coffin.
Snagged a XXL when they restocked them last week. A bit large on me in my opinion but think it works? Opinions? A little concerned with the shoulders. I knew the arms were going to be long. I tend to wear things a bit more fitted than not. I can comfortably fit my IHSH-62 wabash western on underneath. Maybe they shrink some with a wash or I find someone with an XL that wants to swap.
I resisted the first time around but then you bastards had to go and post all these photos of yourselves looking all nice and happy in your new CPOs. This is mine now. I'm a weak man.
@GeorgieL Kinda sad you didn't take a video of the two of you swapping CPOs like soccer players swapping jerseys after a game.
When did IH switch from sewn-in cloth placards/ hanger tags on the pocket to the paper ones we see today on the IH-666-XHS - 25ox? Recently acquired this pair that still has ones sewn in and trying to date them. Thanks for any input.

@Pointman nice haul!! got a few photos like these from Cantillon but havent been in a few years now, i miss it!
The Cantillon snap was from last year when I visited. Great experience. I’m in New Hampshire today and drinking this lovely New England classic.
The cutty boys I used to make lunch today. Yoshikane carbon-clad gyuto on the right. I love this blade. The other is a kinda rustic carbon Nakiri from small blacksmith near Osaka. Forgot the name.
@shp.7777 and I traded not one, not two, but THREE shirts over two transactions. The man is an absolute gent. I hope you enjoy and thanks again.
@phoenixinflight said in Wonder Looper:
@Pointman Also curious to hear about this. Will likely try and visit late this year or early next.
Will report back afterwards if someone doesn’t chime in beforehand with their experience.
@GraemeE said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):
@Pointman dont I know it
Thats why I have a repress of this album as well as clube da esquina - im fresh out of hens teeth
Many years ago, I was in Argentina and had a lead on a Brasilian OG but after discussing selling it to me, the seller decided he(rightfully) wanted to keep it. It was still rare back then but much more affordable. I went home with some other goodies but that Verocai white whale still taunts me.
@GraemeE Now we're talking. That album is incredible and originals are rarer than hen's teeth.
@Tago-Mago said in Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?:
@Pointman would 14oz work?

Sorry, I wrote 409-IB but I meant IHSH-295-IB. 14oz is better but I don't think of 14oz as year round. I live in Texas and 12oz is enough of a struggle in the warmer months.
The IHSH-33 but in indigo black perhaps even in 10oz instead of 12oz.
Love my IHSH-409-IB but give us a shirt we can wear year round.
TIA.
Not a bad day digging on a quick stop in Portsmouth, NH. The homemade LP is a local Mass avant thing that would be for those who think Space is the Place. Some damage but beggars can't be choosers.
The Strangers is a great slinky lil instrumental from 1959 and is my second copy but I couldn't leave it behind.
Anyone ever visit the Wonder Looper showroom in Yokohama? I have an appointment coming up and I'm curious what to expect.
@Inorganic said in Hifi, Lofi - Show us What you Listen With…...:
@Pointman damn...that is a SERIOUS set up. Lascalas? You're gonna blow that cat's lil brain out...
It's okay. She can go to my office and use the other setup. This pair of JBL L100 speakers I restored last year paired with a Marantz 2275. Everything is currently disassembled as I decided to add banana plugs to the speakers.
@Bridger she definitely has that LP (but not the single) though she's more of a soul, jazz and psych rock kinda gal.
