Great seeing you all over the weekend, hope everyone got home safely!

You probably saw me floating around with a camera on Saturday trying to grab some candid snapshots. Apologies if I missed anyone or any magic moments, but hopefully, this kinda captures the vibe of the day…

Promoted to modelling duties for the day...

Fancied a pair of jeans that weren't indigo or black, so tried experimenting with dyeing - think they came out pretty well

We've just released a newsletter in tribute to Mike, but for those of you who may not be subscribed...

In Memory Of Mike "Filthy" Ogurchak

As many Iron Heart forum regulars will know, earlier in the year we lost a dear friend, Mike Ogurchak (aka “Filthy”), who unexpectedly passed away on January 25th. More than just a loyal customer, Mike was a much-loved forum personality, touching the hearts of the many friends he made worldwide through his kindness and extraordinary generosity.

In the months following his sudden passing, there was an outpouring of love and sympathy for Mike, his family and loved ones, resulting in a community-based auction being set up to honour his memory. In the spirit of Mike’s generous nature, the idea was that people who knew him would donate an item of clothing to be auctioned on the forum.

We were blown away by your big-hearted donations, and so far - when combined with Mike’s own personal IH collection that was added to the auction - we’ve been able to raise just under $10,000. With some of the proceeds going to the American Heart Association, the remaining ensures that Mike’s mother (with whom he lived and supported) will be provided for.

We've recently added some more of Mike's personal collection to the auction, with further items due to be added in the next few weeks. To see what's currently up for grabs, please visit this thread: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/category/160/the-filthy-mike-stuff-for-sale

RIP Mike, we miss you.

Obituary - Michael D. Ogurchak
November 27th,1978 - January 25th, 2023

Of North Versailles, age 44, died unexpectedly on Wednesday, January 25th, 2023. Michael was the beloved son of Bernadette (Krah) Ogurchak and David Ogurchak. Dear brother of Alissa Miller of Bremerton, WA. Uncle of Arielle and Israel Miller. Nephew of Bernard (Barbara) Krah, Elizabeth "Irish" Clements and the late Kathleen (late David) Belchick. Cousin of Brian Krah, David Belchick, Marci Belchick, Thomas (Emily) Belchick, Sara (Jason) Virostek and Lesley Busch. Michael is also survived by his precious pet kitty, Pickles.

Michael was a 1997 graduate of East Allegheny High School and then attended California University of PA. For 15 years, Michael was employed by Conco, Inc., travelling throughout the world doing repair work at various types of power plants. Most recently, Michael worked for Giant Eagle in the North Versailles store.

Michael was a wonderful artist, drawing mostly pencil drawings and sketches. His favourite pastime, however, was shopping for Iron Heart clothing.
