Introduce Yourself Here

[gouki74]

Hi there,

I'm Rémi 37y old from France

I work in R&D for a compagny in the water industry

About passions: motorcycles, sports cars, music (I'm a guitarist), blacksmith and also I'm a leathercraftman, my brand is called "Le Poulpe".

Concerning Iron Heart, I own some shirts and since there is not so much workwear shops in my area (I live near Geneva, Switzerland), it's kinda difficult to find things to try on and buy directly so thanks to you the IH team to provide us the good stuff

See you on the forum,

Cheers,

Rémi

Bounjour Remi! Bienvenu [emoji3526] That is about the limit of my French, but it is good to have you here.

Thank you neph93 

Here are my IH shirts:

I'd like to buy a 21 or 25oz(why not both  :P) pair of jeans but hard to find around here, maybe soon with my next trip to come in New York.

Both is actually a good call. They are very different denim and you’d be set up for the while year with those two.

I realise jeans are tricky to buy online, but the crew at IHUK really are experts at working this stuff out, and this forum is a treasure trove of knowledge and experience.

What kind of cut do you normally like?

I'm a slim tapered guy so a 555 should be the one

You want taper, the 777 is a better option…..

If you have a pair of slim tapered jeans that fit especially well, then follow the video guide on the website (just go to a 777 product) and take all the measurements. You can post them here and ask for advice, send them to the shop, or work it out yourself. Or all three to cover your bases.

Thank you for the advice neph93, I have some slim tapered jeans yes, especially the one I have for the Indigo Invitational.

I will take measurements and check on the website. Also I'll have to read all the pages from the differents cut and weights before engaging myself in a purchase

[neph93]

Excellent! Feel free to ask questions.

Hi all. Newbie here.

I got my start into selvedge denim and vintage style clothing a bit later in life.

I stumbled in IH clothing just about a month ago, and I already have taken the bait

I just bought some 21oz 666s, and a pair of 634slb's.  I absolutely love the cut and the feel of both.  Sorry for the lousy pictures….

In addition I snagged a collarless sweater, a windproof sweater (arriving tomorrow) and a Cordura riders jacket.

Nice to meet you all.

Nice to meet you.

Two great pairs of jeans to start of with. I’m excited to hear what you think about the sweater and outerwear too.

Welcome.

Hi all,
Been a lurker for a few months now and finally decided to introduce myself.
Got into the whole denim/quality durable goods for a bit over a year now. Fell into the Iron Heart brand at one of my local stores and really haven't looked back at anything else.
Got a pair of 633S 21oz jeans to start with, followed by the IH-101J-SR 18oz jacket, and have recently picked up a few IHSH western UHFs recently and love them. This is an addicting and expensive hobby, but don't regret investing in these high quality pieces which I hope will last years.
And as a bonus - I get to share the experience and pick up valuable information along the way from a group of awesome people!
Nice to meet you all,
-Matt
