Introduce Yourself Here

[Giles]

Welcome......Thank you for un-lurking.....

Hi all! Thought I'd introduce myself here after having participated a bit in the last few weeks.

My name is Max, French man but based in London where I've lived for the last 11 years and where I live with wife and young son (15 months). Been a fan and wearer of work-wear and raw denim for around the last 12 years but only discovered Iron Heart in the last 6 months or so having stuck to other brands before.

Just picked up my first IH iteam the IHM 37 GRN which I'm super happy with and awaiting the 888 (Cycling thighs!) 21oz restock to get a pair of these too!

@nephellim Hi, welcome among us, I'm Luigi and I'm Italian, nice to meet you

@m4xime Bienvenue!

I totally feel your pain with the cycling thighs. 888 is the way to go for sure.

Come on over to the cycling thread if you feel like it.

@m4xime welcome to the forum. As @seawolf said, plenty of cool stuff to discover here beyond Iron Heart

@nephellim welcome to the forum. Extra points for the Metallica t-shirt

[nephellim]

@Tago-Mago, haha! Thanks, man! Caught them live last September on the last show of the M72 tour. Great concert! The Damage Inc T-shirt I'm wearing there has always been my favourite bit of Pushed artwork done for Metallica...also one of the best Metallica songs!

@m4xime Seen you around here already. Looks like you went to the new R&H shop?

[nephellim]

@Twistlock, thanks, man! Great to be here!

@Mister_Brue, thanks, man!

@Mister_Brue Thank you and yes, what a shop! Funnily enough I went to the little Christmas event Danny organised in like 2012 before they had an actual shop, so pleased with their success

[Mister_Brue]

@m4xime Nice. I’ve not been able to get there yet, but soon.

Hey all, new to the forum. I’m in NYC.

I’ve been into well-made clothes for a while, but heritage/raw denim’s never really been my thing. Decided to buy a pair of 3sixteen jeans a few years ago, and liked them well enough. Eventually they were huge on me, but I wore them for a couple years nonetheless before finally retiring them 2 weeks ago.

For a replacement I picked up a pair of 21 oz 634’s at Self Edge and immediately fell in love. I’d been vaguely aware of Iron Heart before — mainly had been eyeing some of the leather jackets, and knew about their reputation for quality in general. But did not expect to be bowled over like this; I guess after trying my first pair of 3s jeans, and thinking they were just fine, I figured people were being a little hyperbolic when they described how incredible IH is. Anyhow, I’ve spent the last week doing a deep dive on the website, reading about the history of the brand, reading posts here, etc. and I’ve caught the bug hard. The whole thing just clicked with me.

@selbstzweck Welcome! Hope you stick around.

@selbstzweck I remember feeling this way too and I’m jealous. It so much fun going down these kinds of rabbit holes.
