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.
@GraemeE Now we're talking. That album is incredible and originals are rarer than hen's teeth.
I've got a few UES No 8 slub shirts that I love but are sadly now too big for me.
Going to be in Osaka for the first time in September and excited to get to visit their store. Maybe they'll have a Tricotine or Double Weave shirt kicking around in my size.
Found myself in the middle of Massachusetts last week. So a stop at the Treehouse Brewery in Charlton for a King Julius and a west coast seemed in order. FYI, those are half pours. I’m not a complete animal. Just part animal.
I bet these look good with the pearl snap button upgrades. Anyone do it?
I was kinda intimidated by UHR after reading about their alleged tough break-in. But these things are easier out the gate than any of the IH 25oz pairs I’ve broken in and honestly not much difference from the 21oz.
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.
@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.
@goosehd said in IHSH-444-IND - 7oz Cotton Linen Chambray Western Shirt - Indigo:
One-Washed
- Post construction, we wash the completed garment in an aggressive industrial washing machine. This process removes virtually all potential shrinkage.
- No further shrinkage is expected when washed according to our care guidelines
Care Guidelines- We recommend washing this garment at 30°C with a low (or no) spin cycle. Hang dry, do not tumble dry
Wow. Is there's some sort of IH signal that shines in night sky when someone posts a question as such!?!? Thanks for the quick answer!
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.
