I’m very happy with it. Sorry about the picture, I don’t do that many selfies.

RE: IHG-058-IND - 12oz Wabash Apron - Indigo
Ordered. The laugh I got from my daughters when I told them that I bought a 100+ euro apron was worth it. Everything else - including the actual apron- is a bonus.

RE: IHSH-BRUND-NAV - 12oz Ultra Heavy Flannel Western Shirt - Navy
Getting some fresh air after the trip to London.
I’m really happy with it - very versatile and extremely comfortable. And as my wife absolutely hates checked flannels (she says that they remind her of all her ex boyfriends) it is great with a different look.

RE: IHSH-33-BLK - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Black
My first Relove.
Great shirt. I like the UHF a little better when it comes to fit (they are al little bit shorter), but the measurements on this one were close to perfect, and I really like the looks and the feel of the fabric.
Thanks to whoever broke it in for me.

RE: IHG-058-IND - 12oz Wabash Apron - Indigo
As expected it is one hell of an apron. I’m cooking for my daughter’s birthday tomorrow, which is a good opportunity to try it out. I’m really happy with it.
The pockets are very functional and the fabric is nice. Soft to wear, dark so that stains won’t show too much. The patch is very big and prominent
I wouldn’t mind if it was a bit longer, but it is long enough for my 181 cm. And I guess that if it was longer it might be an issue for those who use it for other stuff than cooking. But for taller people it might be an issue.

RE: IH-728-IND - 14oz Selvedge Denim Work Pants - Indigo
Worked like a charm. I didn’t manage to make the cinch 100 straight, but this seems to work perfectly.
Thanks for the input!

RE: IHSH-BRUND-NAV - 12oz Ultra Heavy Flannel Western Shirt - Navy
It’s highly recommended
I’ve worn it all day in London - I wore a Utilitees under it, and a thin leather jacket on top. Just perfect for a somewhat chilly day with a few drizzles thrown in.

RE: IHSH-420-PIN - 5oz Selvedge Ox Cloth Short Sleeved Work Shirt - Pinstripe
I just ordered the last xxl. I’ve had a strict “no short sleeved shirts“-policy for about 15 years, but hell: You have a point of view until you have a new one….

RE: Iron Heart at Brund, Copenhagen - 10th October 2024
I’m not affiliated with Brund in any way, but my somewhat educated guess would be that even at a 150% markup they would have to sell quite a few hats in order to make it worthwhile.
They probably have a setup where their accounting system only handles EU payments. And they probably have some sort of package deal with their accountant (I’m not sure of the English term here - they have an auditor doing their yearly reporting) as well. Changing that would be costly - if the auditor charges them an extra hour, based on them doing outside EU sales, that alone would be 150-200 dollars.
But I’m just guessing

RE: IH-777S-19IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim Super-Slim Tapered Cut Jeans – Indigo/Black
I hope the picture works - it is a horrible picture (nice pavement though), but it shows the fascinating colour of these pants. The picture is taken in early morning light, and there is an almost purple hue to the denim.
Last night when I opened them inside the house they looked black or very dark navy. And in the morning, when I was still in the house they seemed dark blue.
I can now understand why I had a hard time getting the hang of the colour when watching them online.
(And no I generally don’t take pictures of my crotch and post them online, but this seemed like the right place to do it…)

RE: What's your favourite wine?
@Ikeaparty: It's funny, I wouldn't say I have a sweet tooth, and for most of my wine drinke career "dry" would have been one of the first descriptors I'd have chosen for wine I liked.
But the rieslings that combine sweetness and acidity have really taken me by surprise - of course there has to bee enough acidity to balance the sweetness, but when it is there magic happens. If you get the chance try some really old ones. I recently picked up some spätlese frem the eighties. Some of them were gone, but those that weren't were super exciting. The sweetness mellows somewhat, and the taste can become very complex.
@Brandrea: I wish I could say the same - I'd choose company over wine any day, but event in the best possible company, in the most charming place, I wouldn't enjoy bad wine - and probable drink something else instead:-)

RE: What's your favourite wine?
I find it hard to pick a favorite wine. But this is high on the list, so I was happy that I got my hands on a few bottles.
Falkenstein wines are famed for their high levels of acidity - they harvest the grapes based on acidity (rather than sweetness or sugar content), and they let the winification go on until it stops naturally.
These two particular wines have stopped early, leaving a bit residual sugar, and yielding low levels of alcohol (7 and 7,5 %). But the acidity balances it, leaving crisp and fresh wines that are at the same time very light and very intense.
Very highly recommended.

RE: IH-739-IND - 10.5oz Narrow Hickory Cargo Pants - Indigo
A white tee would definitely work. But I never wear white tees without something over them
A dark tee is a possibility. I also think some of my dark plain knits could look really good - but I won’t be taking them out of the closet until October.
I’m really on the fence here, which is rare for me. I’ve been eying those pants since they came up in the future products, and the measurements seem close to perfect (I’d prefer a bit more taper, but all in all very good), but I fear that I’ll be challenged with what to wear them with.

RE: IH-739-IND - 10.5oz Narrow Hickory Cargo Pants - Indigo
I really like these. But I am uncertain as to what I’ll be able to wear them with. Would a blue denim jacket look off for instance?

RE: Hand and Power Tools
I have a Silky Katanaboy, and it is a magnificent saw.
My mothers house is basically built on a hillside, and there is a part of her garden that i a pretty steep overgrpwn area. With the Silky i can get into really tight places to cut down small trees that i couldnt get to with other saws.

RE: EDC - What's In Your Pockets?
I have a very nice Fallkniven slipjoint folder that I used to edc. It is a wonderful knife, but because of the Danish knife laws I can’t carry it anymore.
So I’ve just ordered a pry bar, even though I find the concept a bit strange. I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks for the answer - my bankaccounts are in danish kroner, so I hardly ever see the exact amount I pay in euros.

RE: New Iron Heart Website - Live Now - Feedback and Bug Report Here Please!
I don’t know if it’s related to the new website but:
What’s with the 299,95 pricing? Can’t it just be 300? It looks cheap with the cents.
I’m fine with it if there’s a good reason.

RE: GL-CAS - Gizemo Leathers Shell Cordovan Glasses Case
Beautiful. And something I’d actually use pretty much daily from April to October.
