This shirt was my first piece of Iron Heart clothing... It's my favorite shirt! 3.5 years, a couple hand washes, and aging beautifully if I may say so myself!

My first IH type 3 jacket. 3.5 years, 0 soaks, 0 washes. Hard not to feel good wearing this thing!

I dyed this shirt using susuzome dye, which is a natural Japanese dye made from the soot of burnt pine wood. Ended up dying it twice as the first round resulted in a pretty light grey. I was hoping for a little more consistency in the variation, but overall I'm pretty pleased with the result. I really like how the bottom half turned out, but it gets a little plain on the upper half. Might go for a third round some day... we'll see.

My pair just arrived yesterday... first pair of 25oz. These jeans are absolutely ridiculous!

I can already tell I am going to love them though.

I just got a watch! Hamilton khaki field in bronze. I've never really had a watch before. This one should age nicely.

I love this brown-quickly-overdyed color! If the lining were wool it would be a must have for me. I just have a hard time with synthetic material in clothing...

@Chibs Good call... yeah it actually feels great with a hoodie! I could probably use to lose a few pounds in the belly... but that hoodie test gives me confidence that I got the right size. Thanks!

I could use some reassurance that I made the right sizing choice here... how do you all think this XL fits? I'm sure it will feel a lot better after a few wears... but it feels a little snug right now.

Sophomore album from the band Weite, a Berlin based band that you could call an Elder side project. Good stuff.

Happy new member of the Viberg club! 2030 in C.F. Stead 'Antique Phoenix'.

This shirt is an absolute monster! I already had a Cash III and a military surge black, so I was a little on the fence about another black IH western shirt. But who am I kidding? Glad I pulled the trigger. I usually wear L, and went with L here. It's ever so slightly snug in the chest, but not unreasonably so, and even after just a few days wear, it's already starting to relax. Can't to see how this one evolves.

Prometheus Lights BetaQRv3 - in brass and copper. Fantastic little lights🤌

@twin Working on it
@Lowlander Thanks! And wow! That's an incredible pair.

@endo yes, that's the stuff!

XL ordered! This will be my 6th IH type 3, but first Indigo...Now I just need to try and not look too closely at the SExIH25 next week!

@xaqh I'm with you 100% on those tiny sleeve openings! I am a very similar height, weight, and chest, and went with L. I've just been treating my jacket and hoodie as one and it's not too bad. But I've found a UHF cuff under there to be almost impossible! The sleeve opening is my only complaint about this beauty. I might try opening and resewing one of the seams in the cuffs at some point, to give them a slit. For now though, just gonna accept these tiny little sleeve holes, because everything else about this jacket is just chefs kiss!

@goosehd I've only been wearing it for a few hours, but so far I am really enjoying it. It looks and feels very new... but that should take care of itself in time, and I think it's really going to age nicely. The dial size feel just perfect, and the build and material seem very solid and high quality. The matte finish of the bronze is very nice. Strap is comfortable. I love how thin this watch is (~9mm I think). If I had one complaint it would be that the lug-to-lug measurement is a little long. It would fit on my wrist a bit better if this measurement were a little shorter. And if I ever go without a nato strap, there is likely going to be a bit of a gap there. But I am perfectly happy with this strap. And overall, I am very happy with this watch.
