Congrats @Daniel-San and @thooy05 on the chore coat pickups!

I went from 0 to 2 leather jackets this year, so I'm going to lock up the credit card to avoid ruffling the wife's feathers who has been quite patient so far.

I got in on the Scar Kakishibu chore coat preorder and was quite stoked it landed a good six months ahead of the original estimate. I love it and can't wait to get some wear in before it gets too warm but goodness, the button holes give IH 25oz. denim a run for their money!

Now that summer is around the corner, the 25th Anniversary Grizzly I bought earlier this year is going into hibernation until it cools off again... which given Seattle, it may be as soon as next week.

888-XHSib (too dark to tell)

Trying to get a few more wears of my UHF before I have to put them away for the California spring/summer. The western cut, fire pit, and bull skull made for an interesting accidental "Old West" vibe.

The fades aren't winning any awards any time soon, but going on just over 2 years with these and I'm loving how they're progressing after their most recent wash.

@Brandrea said in Viberg:

I just messaged Viberg and this is the response I got … looks like they can’t make the 310’s in Shell

That aligns with what I had read anecdotally. Apparently, Viberg in the past tried doing some 310 boots in horsehide, not even shell, to disastrous results. The leather was repeatedly tearing due to the required pulling to stretch it across the structured bump toe, a problem that would only be exacerbated with shell.

For those who wear size 30 & 32, a few pairs of these are part of the sale currently running at Division Road.

Is this shirt slated for an eventual restock or was it a one-and-done seasonal release? Such a cool piece so I'm trying to figure out if I need to wait out a restock or look for it on the secondary market.

@Kasi No worries, I'm glad a fellow forum member got in on these! Like @Oaktavia said above, somebody needs to jump on those 30s!

@Kjunx
Nice, you'll be stoked when yours comes in! Thanks for the pointer about the buttons, they're finally starting to give (if only slightly) after about a week of wear. It's a bit lighter in reality than in my picture but not very pink and yes, one interior pocket on the left side. In my case, it's close to my skin color, so I need to wear it out and get some sun so it diminishes the "it puts the lotion on the skin" Buffalo Bill vibe.

@Daniel-San
Thank you sir! I was on the fence about the Grizzly given it's a bit more of a statement piece for my wardrobe but I'm glad I got it.

AA skipper, 9oz IH flannel and IH relaxed tapered chinos

Don't forget those dope Vibergs I see poking out of the frame!

@tody said in IRON HEART WAYWT - 2025 EDITION:

I like the current abundance of N1 jackets in this thread.

Agreed, but also envious of all you folks in a climate where you can rocking those N1s!

@Tago-Mago said in IRON HEART WAYWT - 2025 EDITION:

@Alex hair loss in its hereditary form is correlated with higher levels of androgens, so the only reasonable explanation is that I am supremely masculine

As a fellow supremely masculine (read bald) fellow, I'm stealing this!

Cold one today minus 7 Fahrenheit outside.

Definitely a cold one as I can't recall seeing you without one of your expertly-faded Type IIIs or leather jackets!

@Darth-fader That's exactly what I was hoping for regarding the lining. I've wanted an N1 but can't do the wool/alpaca lined versions as I run way too warm so this sounds like it may work. Thanks!

@Darth-fader Damn, that's a beauty! I'm going to need to get in on the next preorder. What's the lining like? I couldn't tell from the product listing if the quilted lining is insulated or not.

@Giles said in Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?:

I agree, and yes it does….

That's too bad. Brett seemed quite positive towards Iron Heart towards the end of the most recent Stitchdown podcast episode.

@Tago-Mago said in IRON HEART WAYWT - 2024 EDITION:

having to wear corduroy was enough

I had to laugh at this, as I thought I was the only one with a similar story in regards to corduroy! Beautiful shirts but I can't wear the stuff myself.

@Neru-6 like @Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot, I haven't worn mine since I took that picture as I put it away for the summer. It's finally cooling down so I'll get more wear on it soon. I don't suspect I'll see a ton of evo since I run hot and unfortunately have limited opportunities to wear it, only when it's quite cold.

@T4920 said in Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?:

@Boit there was a limited pair of 18od 633 available through self-edge years ago. Picked up a pair through the forum, I love 'em!

Self Edge still carries them as far as I know, as I got a pair about a year ago. Are the ones you're referring to different pair @T4920?

@Jcaz6996 Well done on crafting those jean hangers!

For the less handy amongst us, the Saldebus jean hangers work great. I purchased several when first released via Kickstarter and have had no complaints.
