Thanks for bring us back in line, Simon!
Stewart, yes I think you're right about empty nest syndrome, but I have to say the birdy in the nest box is much lower maintenance than 19 year old son…!
Anyway, now I'm getting to know my way around the forum I promise that any future news on tweety-pie will be posted to "random announcements" (watch this space...)

Hello! I’ve been browsing these forums for a month or so now, I guess its time to join in, seems like a nice friendly place
Confession time : I don’t (yet) own any IH jeans. It’s a brand I always promised myself but can’t seem to make the commitment to breaking in that heavy weight denim! I very nearly pulled the trigger on a pair of the 5th Anniversary 21/23oz in SE NYC last week but got side tracked by some Canes instead, please don’t hold it against me.

[/quote]A pair of jeans pretty much breaks in by the 14th wear. At least, that's how long it took for me to break in my IH301S. I sized down one since the jeans stretch 1 around an inch. NO real pain…just beautiful agony
broken in by the 14th wear - really!! With 14oz denim I reckon it takes me about 3 months of average wear to set the creases? Decent fades take forever, I've got far to much denim in rotation!

i think simon626 meant that the denim sits better/more comfortable within 14 days, not that his creases were locked into position in 2 weeks.

Too soon dude

We might be posting at cross purposes but I did a few shots of the Tripleworks the other day: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=21.75
(I'm not a complete shrinking violet but no face shot yet - saving that for the Superblack shirt -
First post
Lurked here a bit over the last year or so (mainly just stare at product shots) yet I only own one IH item which I've had about 6 months, the IH634s which I actually bought slightly used but got it at a 1/4 of the price so I'm pretty happy. Great jeans.
I found out about them over a year ago when I went looking online for parts for my W650 on Japanese sites and while browsing stumbled across them and had to get a pair somehow.
The price on them new pretty much killed that idea so I waited and waited til I found a used pair for sale on sufu. I'd get a new pair now but still that price… even then I was only able to justify it to the wife at that lowly price by telling her how much safer they are, lol. $150 shipped for a slightly used pair is dirt cheap but when you're used to buying $40 Levis it's still pretty high.
Thank god I got them sized for riding and not sized for picture posing since they are a bit big and if I posted fit pics I'd be told I should have "horrible fit, size down 2" but damn comfortable for actually riding. I can't imagine why some people would buy them a few sizes too small but to each his own. I have another pair of 21oz jeans I wear more for work which are nice as well (better made in my opinion) but the IHs are way for comfortable and are better in cold weather riding.
Great site and great products. Hopefully I can squirrel money away from the wife and save for some more IH gear.

eczerwonka - Glad you came on over!

Thanks for the welcome.
This board looks like it is more to my tastes after actually reading a lots of posts rather than just browsing products. Sufu I feel too old for and SF is too "snobbish" and pretentious for me even though I love to browse those 2 sites.
My tastes run between the two with slight hint of my hillbilly/white trash roots… I like the clothes but tend to not like many of the attitudes of the people who frequent those sites
I'm not a "fit snob" or a brand whore I just like what I like.This place seems alright
