@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!

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

[nephellim]

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

[nephellim]

@Mister_Brue, thanks, man!

[m4xime]

@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.

[popvulture]

@selbstzweck welcome! It’s a familiar story — I think a lot of us got sort of interested in selvedge stuff via companies like 3s, APC, I+W, etc, then comes the inevitable stumbling upon IH and addiction follows shortly thereafter

It’s a lot of fun. Come for the jeans, stay for the people. Then more jeans. And like 5 CPOs. Glad you’re here — we need fresh minds to enable!

[seawolf]

@selbstzweck Welcome! We’re happy you’re here, regardless of how you got here.

100%

It’s nice to see it happen to someone else and watch with a smile.

[selbstzweck]

Thanks all! Glad I'm not alone in IH-obsession madness, lol

Only five?
