IRON CAST by Iron Heart International

Danny from Rivet and Hide - Episode is now live….
Danny covers topics as diverse as London fish ponds with British rock pedigree to the effects of Brexit on his business. He talks of how a chance meeting with Giles and Paula in 2011 led to the end of his long-haul career at British Airways and diverted his business plans away from Antipodean coffee culture and straight into the lap of Japanese denim.

Stoked! Listening now.

This was yet another great episode, and a really cool look into the backstory of Rivet and Hide.
I visited Rivet and Hide in early 2018, and this was before I knew of Iron Heart (seems like it's been forever). I was really new to this level of clothing and was emailing @Danny RnH from the states (while wearing a pair of Naked and Famous jeans i'll bet) asking what was/would be in stock, if he could hold an item for me, and probably a bunch of other dumb questions that were more tedious than anything for him to answer. He was extremely pleasant and professional to communicate with. Though he was away when I was in London, I had a great visit to the store and left with an Indigofera Copeland that I adore to this day.
Danny I thought it was particularly interesting when you said you wanted your store to be a destination store, and not directly in Soho or similar (for reference, it was about a 10 minute walk from Soho and away from the hustle and bustle). We stayed in the heart of Soho, and I can only imagine the rando's you would have entering your store, fondling your clothes and leaving them in a pile on the floor on a daily basis if you had.

Nice of you to recall such a positive visit to us back in 2018.

Too kind, gentlemen. If I am honest the idea of talking about myself for a full hour filled me with dread when I was offered this opportunity but I was amazed how easy it actually was :o. Glad you enjoyed the podcast. I'm looking forward to listening to many more too. -
I agree with the gents above - fascinating origins story and a true dedication to service and craft!

Sorry guys, my mistake. I had this in my calendar for tomorrow but the episode went automatically live today.
**Adam chats about what it's like living in a vacation destination during a global pandemic as well as how a chance encounter with a magazine advertisement spawned his love for raw denim more than 15 years ago. We hear tales from how the early days of internet jeans forums shaped the Iron Heart forum into the special place it is today, while diving into folklore behind some of the brand's most iconic jeans models. **
