@Denimhead-0 Such an incredible shirt. That fabric is just wicked too. One of my favorite pieces of Iron Heart.

@MTpockets What an incredible, incredible show. I mean I was blown away. Jeff eased us into a nice warm and inviting acoustic first set and then they straight torched the place. I mean, I sometimes walk with a cane and sit in ADA and I had to get my ass up and boogie down up near stage left. I will never miss a Wilco show within a few hundred miles of me going forward.

Here’s a moon shot just because it was both Father’s Day and summer solstice. It was 65 to 67° that evening and I was able to wear my 13.5 ounce dobby CPO. The smell of the sea rolling in along with the smell of the food trucks and all the great beer and cannabis folks were drinking and smoking made a most beautiful first Wilco show memory. A stain on my brain-and I mean that in the best way possible.

Big, big cheers,

@SKT Thank you, I sure will. And that’s so rad to hear. What a great parent. I used to do the same with my kids. I’m so beyond stoked for this show. Funny that it’s on Father’s Day too. My kids live out west in Oregon but I’ll be thinking of them.

Cheers,

@MTpockets Absolutely. Look forward to it. Thanks!

@MTpockets Thank you. And yeah, that’s what I’ve been told. Man am I excited. We got a nice hotel and we’re going to make a couple days of it. And Jeff is doing a solo tour this fall so I’m all over that too.

Big Cheers, @MTpockets

I’m gearing up for my first Wilco show at Thompson’s Point in Portland Maine this Sunday, Father’s Day, so I’ve been listening to a lot of Wilco and Jeff Tweedy solo. Pretty stoked, going to be a high of 70 degrees and the venue is right on the ocean, so I can rock my new IHSH-437-IND. Let’s Go!

@GraemeE Yeah, I’m definitely going to be looking into all their offerings. Super stoked on your share. In fact I’m going to check them out right now. Thanks again!

Cheers,

@GraemeE Those are gorgeous. This thread is wicked. Thanks for sharing.

@freepickin Those are badass! Wow. I might have to get me a pair of those just for summer shit-kicking.

Here are my Arrow Moccasins. Arrow Moccasin Company had offered the finest quality moccasins almost 70 years. They were a small family owned and oriented business established in 1951. Ron Ouellette [ pronounced "wool-let" ] was employed in 1951 as a boot maker for "Old Sturbridge Village" of Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Arrow moccasins are made of extra heavy, quality, Swiss hides that were tanned in England, the same country that produces the best of bridle leathers.
I found my first pair in 2020. They were used, but just barely. Then a few years later I found a dead stock pair and bought them immediately. Now I have an outdoor pair and an indoor pair. Best footwear I’ve ever owned by far.

@Wlemon Looks and sounds like an incredible fabric. I bought mine today! Super stoked on this 14oz Kersey and the IHSH-437-that Dobby CPO is just wicked!

Cheers,

The IHSH-437 is the greatest shirt I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing. Fits perfectly. The copper snap and GAH silver button upgrades look killer.

The SS2026 collection is kicking my ass. But you have to pay to play. I finally snagged some 21oz Indigo in 634s. But the pieces I’ve been waiting for are the Dobby’s.
The Dobby is such a wicked shirt. I just received the 10 ounce mechanic shirt in the mail this afternoon and it’s hands-down one of the greatest shirts I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing. What an incredible fabric! I cannot wait to pull the trigger tomorrow morning on this 13.5 ounce Dobby in SP-Large. The sleeves will be too long, but I have too big a chest to wear anything smaller than 50 inches and have a great local tailor if rolling doesn’t end up looking ok.

Thank you team Iron Heart!

@Rustygate37 yup. Me too. Just grabbed the IH-634s in 21oz, but I just have to have this 13.5 oz dobby CPO. That fabric is wicked.

Thank you, Adam.

I have some 19oz and I love them. But I’m excited for some 21 and possibly some 25 ounce denim. I know that the 21 ounce is coming soon in 634 and 21 ounce and 888 in July as per the IronHeartUK Instagram post this morning. Will there be any 25 ounce denim this fall?

Hopefully, I’m putting this question in the right place.
Please excuse this noob!

Cheers all,
Duke

@MicheleOnida Hello, Michele! Greeting from New Hampshire, USA.

I’m so stoked for this CPO. It’ll be my first, but definitely not my last.

@Walery-Smirnoff Ok. Will do. Been waiting for a clothesline day here on the east coast of the US. We’re almost there. One good day between 60 and 70 degrees and I’ll soak them in the am and dry them all day.

Cheers,

@twin Thank you so much. I love this denim. I love this company. And I love this forum! Such great people with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Big Cheers,
