Introduce Yourself Here

Hey, everyone. Quick intro…

I'm a denim fan in Portland Oregon. Been wearing 501s since I was a kid and watching the quality go down and down. I became interested in selvedge denim a few years ago and more generally in higher quality and more durable clothing. Of course that led me to the various Japanese makers and Iron Heart specifically. I'm currently working in a pair of 634S 21oz that I bought on Jan 1 (easy to remember what amount of wear they have on them!) and they're fantastic. I've also added a few IH shirts and plan to add a few more.

I've lurked here for some time but didn't get around to registering an account until I had a shirt that needed trading, so here I am! I'm endlessly impressed by Iron Heart's prouduct quality, customer service quality and the quality of the customers who constitute this (and the broader Iron Heart fan) community.

Thanks for letting me in

Hello everyone, I have always been a Levi's wearer, until September, when I went to Valencia St. in San Francisco, found Self Edge, Bought a pair of 633 jeans. Before I left SF, I had a pair of the 23 oz 634's a 526 J Jacket. Then started searching Iron Heart, and found this great site. And now the rest is history. Since October I only wear Iron Heart jeans and jackets. It's great, in 30 degree F weather, I don't need heavier jackets than the 526 J. My favorite jeans are the 1955 S, 1955 UHR, and finally the 25 oz IHXB01. Thanks to Paula, Giles and Matt for any help they have provided.  Sam. I live outside Charlotte, NC.

Welcome Sam. Sounds like you're in the right place. Great collection of gear to start with! You should be set for many years. Hope to see some pictures with time. Kindly

Many Thanks for the nice welcome. I travel 100% for my job, but I will post pictures.

Out of curiosity, when you say you live outside Charlotte, which town are you in?

I ask, since I grew up in Charlotte and most of my family still lives there.  My brother moved to Raleigh, which proves his poor judgment…

[Seul]

You moved to Texas - must be a family thing…

I live in Pineville, NC.

[Chris]

Many years ago, so did I.

Across from the James K. Polk birthplace, in an apartment complex whose name escapes me.

I know exactly where you mean. I drove by it today. I live on what used to be the Pineville Golf Course. I have been there about  3 year.

Does Sabal Point ring a bell? Was the German restaurant Waldhorn there?

Hi everyone!  My name is Nick, from Massachusetts, USA - affectionately known as the Beautiful Berkshires!  I love the forum and figured it was about time to introduce myself rather than lurking!  I'm currently breaking in some 666-XHS and having a blast!  Along with those I have an Alpaca N1 and a few other amazing IH pieces helping to keep me warm this winter!  Giles and crew have been awesome, as expected, and I can't wait to see what comes out next!  Thanks to all the members for facilitating such a great environment, it truly is unlike anything else!!! -Nick
