Currently two sessions in with Steve Zimonvan (Remember Me Tattoo) on my back. So stoked with how it’s looking.

RE: Introduce Yourself Here
Hey gang. I realized I’ve been on this board for a good few months so far, and have not introduced myself. I got introduced to IH through my friends at Guilty Party, in Atlanta, on a work trip. (Sick name drop, I know). I haven’t made my first purchase yet, because I’m making my first trip to Japan and will be hitting at least the Osaka store, and maybe outside of Tokyo with time permitting.
I’ve been doing tons of research to find what will be the best cut for me, and will be heading home to Atlanta this weekend to hopefully trying a few different cuts at GP. I know the cuts/sizes will be a bit different from those in Japan, but hoping I can get an idea of what will fit my frame (5’8 and +/-155lbs). If there are any threads I should check out to help in my studies, please let me know.
As far as denim goes I’ve had: 14.5 oz Raleigh Denim from Cone Mills (from right here in Greensboro, NC) that lasted the better part of a decade, Wingman 14oz indigo, Levi 501 STF and a few others. But stoked to step to some heavy hitters soon. Really hoping to use this upcoming Japan trip to my advantage for Japanese denim, and hit all the shops I can.
Beyond denim, I’m a photographer (used to do it professionally, now it’s back to being my favorite thing), love lifting, getting tattooed, and traveling with my wife.
Aight. See y’all in the threads.

RE: Travel: Places you're going, places you've been.
The countdown has begun. Starting to get my packing organized for Japan. Started with the important stuff. Film inventory. I’ve also been watching the Iron Heart, Hinoya, Fullcount, and Samurai IG accounts for stock updates.

RE: Iron Heart Japan Fit Pics - and other great images from Japan…
@Ross bring on the pics. These are just getting me more and more hyped up for my trip coming up in a couple months. Can’t wait to hit up the Osaka store.

RE: Tokyo (JP)
@louisbosco so sorry to high jack or jump in this post. But this made me feel so good about my upcoming trip. 13 days away. We fly into Haneda and our first block of our Tokyo trip we are staying in Shinagawa.
@Nik i have a huge list of coffee shops that I’m looking to try. It seems like there are tons of cafes EVERYWHERE. It’s going to be my first time too. I’m so pumped. Ueno has a lot of denim/clothing spots like Hinoya. Osaka has ann Iron Heart shop that’s only about 30 mins east of the “downtown” area that I can tell based on google maps. ,
There is also a Samurai, and Full Count stores.Have fun planning, I think I’ve spent the better portion of a year planning, and have loved it. Just so stoked to actually get wheels down and start the trip.

RE: Live Concerts
@goosehd I hear that. I got lucky and was selected for the pre-sale ballot. You at least have to use a code and your account has to be linked to the email the code was sent to. So fingers crossed that helps.

RE: Motor Sport
@WhiskeySandwich the terrible joke Buxton made about the weight of denim being added to a car, in FP1, killed me.

RE: Photograph and Camera talk
@weftyarn thanks! It was from a recent trip back home to Atlanta to see some family, and got out VERY early in the AM. If you’re ever there, this spot is less than a mile from the Guilty Party shop. Highly recommend, it’s run by some awesome folks.

RE: IRON HEART WAYWT - 2024 EDITION
@TelemarkTumalo I’m hoping the 634 will fit me like this. Finally getting to try them on in a couple weeks time on a trip. Such a good looking fit.
