Hey all, new to the forum. I’m in NYC.

I’ve been into well-made clothes for a while, but heritage/raw denim’s never really been my thing. Decided to buy a pair of 3sixteen jeans a few years ago, and liked them well enough. Eventually they were huge on me, but I wore them for a couple years nonetheless before finally retiring them 2 weeks ago.

For a replacement I picked up a pair of 21 oz 634’s at Self Edge and immediately fell in love. I’d been vaguely aware of Iron Heart before — mainly had been eyeing some of the leather jackets, and knew about their reputation for quality in general. But did not expect to be bowled over like this; I guess after trying my first pair of 3s jeans, and thinking they were just fine, I figured people were being a little hyperbolic when they described how incredible IH is. Anyhow, I’ve spent the last week doing a deep dive on the website, reading about the history of the brand, reading posts here, etc. and I’ve caught the bug hard. The whole thing just clicked with me.

4 months in my first pair of Iron Hearts, fades starting to come in. 2 washes so far. Plus cat!

Back from 3 weeks in Japan, where I picked these up (among others!)

@Freeman Seconding @flannel-slut here, you guys go above and beyond! Thanks a lot, will measure a jacket later and shoot a note/order one and leave a request. I think maybe an XL with a slightly larger chest might be perfect...

@Jett129 Nice! I’m in Queens. From the west coast originally but been in New York the last decade.

@tody ha, no Germany connection, just happen to know the term. Studied philosophy at one point.
