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.

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.

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

@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.

Awesome jacket @choco, fit looks spot on.
Mine just got in today as well, but in indigo. A bit of a bummer as the chest fits fine but the rest fits quite boxy, so I'm trying to figure out if I soak/dry it to improve the fit or just return it.

@jaliskoe pay phones still exist?!?!

Haha! My thoughts exactly… Had no tone.
You see one still standing out there, you gotta snap a picture!

I was going to say, if you needed to make a call, you probably could have just asked the person who likely snapped your pic with a phone!

Been meaning to ask, is your user name a reference to the state in Mexico?

lol! Not sure how the wife still entertains my impromptu photo requests while out in public. Especially seein how much I complain about her shooting angles/camera skills!

And yes. I hail from Jalisco, Mexico The birthplace of Tequila!

Haha, she's a keeper for sure!

Órale, a fellow Jalicience! :the_horns: I was born/raised in CA, but my family also hails from Jalisco.

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!

@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!

@tody said in Spring/Summer 2024 - Live Reveal Presentation Coming Soon:

Red W's everywhere, nice!

I'm split on this. I don't mind it on the jeans but I've always appreciated the smaller logo patch and fabrics speaking for themselves on the shirting. Great collection either way and thanks for the presentation!

@Nocturama Nice one! I bought this shirt during the last sale and like you, been trying to wear it as much as possible. Hoping to one day get it worn in like the black western @Oaktavia has in his avatar!

Well done @68degreesorless and agreed with @atm23, they're looking awesome! Still trying to squeeze out some wears on my pair as California warms up.

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

Has a ib od been done yet? Xhsibod? Sounds fun to me

Paging @Nik, the resident self overdye alchemist. Perhaps he's done something along these lines?

@SKT said in IHSH-372-BRN - Ultra Heavy Flannel Brown Crazy Check Western Shirt - Brown:

Something kinda retro about the color way

Agreed, the colors definitely have a 70s conversion van with shag carpeting kind of vibe, in the best way possible!

@denim-dawg Congrats on scoring a pair! Seeing that you got a size 35 for which I've also been looking, I checked Brund and saw they have a pair, only no shipping outside the EU. I guess I'll need to wait for a the next run of these.

@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.

Such a cool fabric! I'm bummed since I'm already on the upper end of the 4XL sizing with IH tops and with these running small, I'm likely out of luck with this one.
