Ok, for reference, I live in a tiny city on the border between Canada and the US. There are aprox 75,000 people here. I've never seen in person, another live human wearing IH anywhere I've ever been ever. Especially in this turd of a town.
This morning on my way into work, I stopped into my local coffee shop downtown, where it is very deserted that early in the a.m.
I walk in, and I see a dude in a full superblack tux. Prob 666 superblack and I think the type3 (although I didn't see the red W from where I stood)
I was so dumbfounded, slightly hungover, not quite awake yet to fully grasp what the hell was happening.
I was trying to not eyeball this fellow to hard cause that would've been weird and I couldn't bring myself to start asking this dude about his pants at that hour of the day. haha.
For the record, I was also in head to toe IH and was wearing my red/black plaid jacket that says IRON HEART across the left pocket! So not super subtle. We must've looked like we were in some sort of gang as there were 2 dudes in this tiny coffee shop with long hair and beards head to toe in IH.
I'm wondering if there was a band or something cool passing through.
It was bizarre and pretty funny.
Anyway, that's the most random thing that's happened in ages.
Happy weekend all.
And if you were the fella in the superblack tux, apologies for the sideways eyeball!! haha! -
I just read through this whole thread. Funny stuff. I had my first sighting last weekend at Intelligentsia in Silver Lake and one of the baristas was wearing a gray and black UHF. I would have said something but he went in the back before I got to the counter. My girlfriend rolled her eyes when I said "Holy shit that guy's wearing Iron Heart!"

Last year I was just starting a large food cart project in SE Portland, Oregon. I was wearing my PIH5DCT jeans and a white carhartt pocket T. I was covered in dry mud and dust as we were in the excavation phase, leaning against the rental fence we put up around the perimeter taking a break when this guy walks up and asked if I was wearing Iron hearts. I told him I was and that they were actually for the DWC2 and we talked for a bit about denim and things. Can’t remember what he was wearing but he said he was from California and worked in a retail shop that sells high end denim etc..
About 2 weeks ago, I got a random DM on Instagram and it was that kid! He said he spotted me on his Explore section and recognized me from his trip to Portland and commented on how dirty I was. Turns out his dad already follows me on Instagram….
On a separate note, I see people in Portland daily wearing selvedge denim. However IH spottings are fairly rare.

Not necessarily on the streets, and kinda cheating because this wasn’t a random encounter and we live in the same neighborhood (but we almost never see each other so it kinda counts!).
Me and @Anesthetist sporting our wabash:

One of my wife's business partners' husband apparently wears almost nothing but Iron Heart. Gotta hang with this fella some time!

-
Heck yeah @xtcclassic - thanks for hanging! That place was awesome!

Nice @Appfaff and @xtcclassic I take it this wasn’t entirely coincidental?

Not surprised you two live in the same city. Based on the architecture in you photo backgrounds i have seperately thought i lived in the same city as both of you (not correct but midwest none the less). I’ll be in your city for a few hours in May. Any shops I should stop in?
-
@Bfd70 there’s no shops that carry IH, closest we’ve got is East + West in the central west end which carries 3Sixteen. There’s also a shop called Crimson Serpents Outpost that carries Schott leather jackets and the Red Wings Heritage line, they also make their own leather goods.
@neph93 not coincidental, he posted in the city guides thread over the weekend so I knew he was coming.
