@FlavourFade With the amount of clearance they seem to have, and the fact that they're following is....well, I can't even find one - I don't consider them even remotely being on the same level as Iron Heart.
But it's not just in reference to the quality that speaks for itself here, it's more so in regard to how a product can change a person, and apply a sense of growth to said persons life, which contenders just don't seem to be capable of.
Iron Heart has become more than it set out to be, by extending itself into the hearts of those who wear the goods, and you just can't buy that kind of review/response.
They may make jeans and jackets ect, but I can't find another denim company that has made a worldwide community/family like this one. That's the main difference I see personally.
Just thought I'd throw that out there
