Where does everyone live?

Hello IH folks!
I'm James and I live in north east Scotland.
My interests span photography, cars (old, new; anything that moves in fact!) and mechanical watches. I'm formerly an (extremely un-extreme) rock climber, mostly uncommitted mountain biker and enthusiastic but time-starved fly-fisherman.
I live and work in the countryside, between the rivers Dee and Don;

Welcome James.
"I live and work in the countryside, between the rivers Dee and Don" - Not jealous at all.

Hi and my regards from Ugchelen in The Netherlands….
At 61 years I'm not new to denim, by I am a novice to Iron Heart. Thought I'd dive right in and am wearing a 634XHS right now.
And I love it. I had the idea it would be a stiff and scratchy one to break in, but it's actually quite comfy from the start. Off course it's a heavy basterd, but I'm loving it....
Hope to find inspiration overhere to get more IH in my collection ....

HI IH
Another Dutchie ^ , half the age of Sieger but also novice to IH and living in Dordrecht..
4 years ago I competed in the DWC with local brand Tulp Jeans,
Last 2 years been wearing the Samurai S710NBK, which was hard as the cotton threading is horrible imho.
So figured, for next 2 years I go for the brand with the reputation of truly being workwear quality.Just ordered a pair of IH-777s-21 and can't wait for them to arrive..
I enjoy fades as an artform, I front-pocket carry and prefer small cuffs and short inseam (ankle height), but considering to get some stacks on my IH's if it suits…

Hi @Sieger
When I read you're from Ugchelen, I imagined it would be a town in Limburg…
How wrong I was
Anyway, welcome!

Hi
I am from Birmingham and recently did a Marie Kondo job on my wardrobe and I found few items that I truly loved.
I am rebuilding my jeans wardrobe and looking to find a slim tapered jeans. And decent western shirts. The forums are great and I hope to add my two cents and make it better. Welcome all denim lovers (and leather jacket lovers too (I count myself as one).

Welcome @Denim dunce .. have you picked up any IH yet? Sounds like the 777 or 555 should be on your radar.

Hi neph
They both are! I am torn between them. Just the hem is the sticking point. I find the best jeans I own have a leg opening of 7 inches. However, I will have to shorten them when I get them and I have worn the hell out of them for a year. After I have them tailored will the opening be even bigger than the measurements on the website. Maybe I can get some second hand ones and see how they feel? I know there will be some variation between them. Decisions decisions!!!

@Denim:

Depending on the taper you will increase the hem opening a little but it is really marginal.
The 777 will increase a little more than the 555 as the latter tapers mostly through the thigh and is relatively straight from the knee down, while the 777 tapers all along the length of the leg.

Been a long time fan of Iron Heart but decided it was time to get involved in the forum. Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am so excited to meet everyone!! Cheers!!

Welcome! It’s always wonderful to see folk from New Mexico show up here. I joined the forum back in 2011 while at UNM, and have been back and forth from Burque to Santa Fe ever since. Never seen anyone else wearing Iron Heart in real life tho, what about you? Enjoy it here, this is a special place!
Here was my chill spot while at school. I miss hiking Sandia

Thanks for the add, lots to learn and admire
Chiming in from the suburbs of Vancouver BC with my almost 1 year old IH555-01 and already eyeing the 25oz version. Some of my past denim:
- N&F jade selvedge and stretch indigo
- japan blue JBO-410
- RGT Stanton 15oz
Question: i see what looks to be imminent crotch blowout (thinning around the area). Hasn’t busted but has all the signs. I know that IH offers lifetime repairs at no cost (one of the many reasons why i moved to IH), just wondering at this moment what the turnaround time would be?
Here’s some fade pics and also my other hobby
