Y2 IR-42, IHSH-389-IND, 888-nin

Seeing the Withered Fig guy:

Indigo Single Rider (IR-42). Around 20 wears in, getting some creasing on the arms and shoulder mobility is getting better… but this is going to take I think ~100 wears before it’s comfortable!

I’m sorry, did you say -TWENTY ONE- oz work shirt?

For what it’s worth, I used to be a huge Arc’teryx fan. They were subsequently sold to Anta (a Chinese company), who left the BCI (better cotton initiative) to continue using cotton from the Xinjiang region of China (where forced/slave labor of Uighar muslims to work crop fields has been reported). Of course, I’m not an international trade expert, or cotton expert, or clothing expert, or… you get the point. I also don’t support 3Sixteen (India) and Post O’alls (China) for reasons in the same bucket. Again, I’m not an expert, I can’t say I have even a tenth of the information, and I could be completely wrong in my decision.

Iron heart appears to be a company that supports ethical manufacturing, fair pay for workers, environmentally conscious sourcing and development practices, and just plain appears to treat people well. It’s becoming harder and harder to find clothing companies to purchase from that can say all of those things. So, very grateful to you guys and the work that you do!

1. That 21 oz monster sashiko shirt
2. The duck bomber I’m going to wear over it
3. The Tiger camo pants I’ll be wearing with the above combo as we survive the post-apocalyptic wasteland

Seven things that I am not initially excited about, and then immediately have to get when more pictures/information come out. Along with, of course, the four pieces that are immediately going to sell out.

7 wears in; XXL on 6’1”, 210 pounds. The arms were quite tight initially, but have loosened up nicely with wear!

Damn you all. In for one from Iron Shop Provisions

@JerkStore it probably eats it alive, buttons and all

Can this be christened the ‘Snappiversary’ cap?

@Giles @Alex There are many things that make IH fantastic, but among my favorite are the dedication to quality assurance (fabric, stitching, shape, etc) and precision of sizing. What other brands do you both look to as following in the same footsteps at IH; i.e., doing things ‘the right way’? I think @Olly referenced @Alex respecting Freenote Cloth in that manner on a production of the Iron Cast.

If this is anything like the last drop… buckle up, boys and girls

Ooofff is there any info about the upcoming leather type 3 available yet?

Just fyi, if you live in the US… currently there are custom charges for incoming shipments from Canada for orders over $800. I paid an additional $163 in fees for the $1847 Kakishibu chore I got in ~7/2024. Trump pushed back the increased 25% tariffs by 30 days, so now is the time to buy from them, before we’re paying ~$500 in fees on TJ’s typical jacket

Message sent!

I immediately thought of @Oaktavia when I started reading this thread

As an aside, I keep wondering which April 1st the IHUK team is going to announce 5oz cotton/linen indigo dyed PJs

Your favorite question, @ihuk crew… any news regarding a restock?

Looks like some olive moleskin…?
