IH, On The Streets / Missed Connections
-
@Anesthetist there was an IH spotting at the barbershop today. I was the "spottee" in this case, I walked in wearing my Busters and IHSH-07, sat down, and immediately one of the guys getting his hair cut asked me where I got my shirt. I just said online because I figured he just liked it and wouldn't know the brand, but he asked if I got it from Self Edge. Turns out he was wearing a pair of Roys and has a pair of IH also. We got to talking about how rare it was to spot anyone around here wearing good denim and he told me he was at REI a few years back and some guy recognized his IH jeans, I told him I was pretty sure I knew who that was LOL. Anyway, Dave is apparently familiar with Iron Heart and the new guy Jared, who had commented on my Johnny Cash the last time I was there, pulled up the IH website on his iPhone and was browsing the shirts and checking out the forum, so I may have recruited a new customer for @Giles .
I can see IronHeart spreading like wild fire at Southtown over time. I have almost brought it up a couple times like when Marco commented that my 62 felt like a jacket. I'm glad you have them checking out IHUK!
I remember that guy from REI and I'm not surprised he remembered me. If I recall correctly, he seemed a little freaked out that I was so psyched about his jeans. What can I say? I'm passionate about my denims

Nice! Suits him well.

Not be me I hasten to add…...
Jason Momoa in IH-9634Z
He may be wearing NineLives brand new "dead indigo camo" jacket?
His jeans fit well and look great.

That's what i thought @Dishelveled but i didn't realise they were out yet… although if he wanted the sample i doubt many people would stand in his way.

@sam I think you're right that he must have muscled his way into one prerelease.
It looks good: intiguing enough to catch the eye but subtle enough to not scream for attention.

Not to sound like a too much of an old perv, but if there are any women here who fancy a bit of eye candy I strongly recommend checking out Jason Momoa's PrideofGypsies Instagram feed. I've spent the morning 'researching' him
It's OK @Lindsey - you classify as a young perv (and thanks for the recommendation!)

Ok, for reference, I live in a tiny city on the border between Canada and the US. There are aprox 75,000 people here. I've never seen in person, another live human wearing IH anywhere I've ever been ever. Especially in this turd of a town.
This morning on my way into work, I stopped into my local coffee shop downtown, where it is very deserted that early in the a.m.
I walk in, and I see a dude in a full superblack tux. Prob 666 superblack and I think the type3 (although I didn't see the red W from where I stood)
I was so dumbfounded, slightly hungover, not quite awake yet to fully grasp what the hell was happening.
I was trying to not eyeball this fellow to hard cause that would've been weird and I couldn't bring myself to start asking this dude about his pants at that hour of the day. haha.
For the record, I was also in head to toe IH and was wearing my red/black plaid jacket that says IRON HEART across the left pocket! So not super subtle. We must've looked like we were in some sort of gang as there were 2 dudes in this tiny coffee shop with long hair and beards head to toe in IH.
I'm wondering if there was a band or something cool passing through.
It was bizarre and pretty funny.
Anyway, that's the most random thing that's happened in ages.
Happy weekend all.
And if you were the fella in the superblack tux, apologies for the sideways eyeball!! haha! -
I just read through this whole thread. Funny stuff. I had my first sighting last weekend at Intelligentsia in Silver Lake and one of the baristas was wearing a gray and black UHF. I would have said something but he went in the back before I got to the counter. My girlfriend rolled her eyes when I said "Holy shit that guy's wearing Iron Heart!"

Last year I was just starting a large food cart project in SE Portland, Oregon. I was wearing my PIH5DCT jeans and a white carhartt pocket T. I was covered in dry mud and dust as we were in the excavation phase, leaning against the rental fence we put up around the perimeter taking a break when this guy walks up and asked if I was wearing Iron hearts. I told him I was and that they were actually for the DWC2 and we talked for a bit about denim and things. Can’t remember what he was wearing but he said he was from California and worked in a retail shop that sells high end denim etc..
About 2 weeks ago, I got a random DM on Instagram and it was that kid! He said he spotted me on his Explore section and recognized me from his trip to Portland and commented on how dirty I was. Turns out his dad already follows me on Instagram….
On a separate note, I see people in Portland daily wearing selvedge denim. However IH spottings are fairly rare.
