Introduce Yourself Here

great introduction @peter4-ptv thanks for sharing
I can't really answer your question, since I'm not so much familiar with other JP brands, but I do like some stuff from Loop & Weft, Double Helix and Zerrows that I got in touch with.

Welcome @peter4-ptv ! I live in Austin, TX. Aside from Iron Heart, which are my favorite jeans, I’m also a fan of Samurai’s 19oz, Momotaro, Sugar Cane, and I love the Real McCoy’s Lot.001XX denim. I didn’t see that last one on your list — it’s got a great texture and weight to it, not heavy like IH but a nice heftiness.
An interesting Japanese brand you might want to check out is Ooe Yofukuten. They’re very vintage-focused, so don’t expect super high contrast, electric fades, but it’s super cool that their jeans are only made by two people, a husband and wife team. The attention to detail is pretty amazing. The best (and really only, as far as I know) in the US is from Standard and Strange. Get on their mailing list and keep an eye out if you’re interested in getting a pair, because they sell out fast.
I also really like Indigofera and Freenote Cloth, a Swedish and an American company, who both use Japanese denim for their jeans. Cool companies, creative and unique in their own ways.
Welcome to the forum, have fun!

@peter4-ptv hi Peter, welcome to join us and congratulations on your collections .

@peter4-ptv Welcome, and that is quite a broad collection you have there. Few start here with a wardrobe that packed - it's the finishing point for many of us

@peter4-ptv Welcome and nice collection.

That’s almost like looking at shops stock @peter4-ptv

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and recommendations.
I was not familiar with most of them and checked out what was available.
I really liked the Ooe brand and already have this model on the way to me:OA LOT SOA03XXD-0823 JEANS - 1940S WIDE STRAIGHT FIT

Hello all. New to the forum and Iron Heart brand. Canadian born and raised, but have resided in Austin, TX and now Eugene OR for the past 25 years. Recently started my IH journey with some IH-777S-19L. Alex ensured I got the size dialed in and after about 10 days living in them I was hooked. So much so I visited Self Edge in Portland this past weekend to try a different fit. Ended up with IH-633N-17 and a new shirt too IHSH-235-OLV. Next up will be to venture into the XHS - maybe in 777 - and the new Fox Flannels. Beyond that I can see adding ISH-398 and 397 when available. Thankfully I now reside in a climate that is conducive to these heavy fabrics.
This forum has been a wealth of information and have had some great reads. Even better the photos! So many with such style and great looks. I’m not much for social media posting but in the WAYWT thread I might even try to post a few photos.
