RE: End of Season Sale - 15% off - June 21st to June 24th
Genuinely couldn't find anything that I need or want this time around...

RE: Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
Corduroy pants out of the same (or 14 wale like the corduroy jackets) corduroy that will be used for the newly announced corduroy shirts -- 888 cut and dark brown (like the now extinct corduroy jacket)

RE: Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
Well... Now that we've seen it made into a shirt, it's time to echo what I've probably already said before: 21oz Sashiko Modified Type III

RE: Random Announcements
I love how every time I go on my own profile, my "best post" (most upvoted post) on the forum is shown as me comparing the Iron Heart Rubber Coin Case to the Babybel cheese:

RE: IHSH-398-WHT - 11oz Corduroy Western Shirt - Off White
@Tago-Mago Yep, my bad, thank you! I made the amateur mistake of looking at the description in the original post where it wasn't mentioned and assumed it must not have been published yet

RE: IHJ-138-BLK - PrimaLoftยฎ Gold/Pertex Shield DV Mountain Parka - Black
I'll go first: I love and very much appreciate the idea of the new and innovative side pocket design that was first done on the IHJ-127-BLK / IHJ-44-BLK and now this. Hope all of the functional jackets get this update from now on as a default.
PS: And I am also glad to see that the vertical outer pockets weren't left out like they were with the IHJ-79-BLK vs. IHJ-127-BLK.

RE: IHM-44-BRN - 17oz Duck Type L-2B Flight Jacket - Brown
@Alex 100% agree on this. It's one of the many fine details that I love.

RE: IHSH-398-WHT - 11oz Corduroy Western Shirt - Off White
Entirely out of curiosity: Do these shirts consist of a 85% cotton and 15% polyester blend like the IHJ-69 series?

RE: IHJ-136-BLK - Weather Resistant Jacket - Black
@Alex said in IHJ-136-BLK - Weather Resistant Jacket - Black:
it's not super IH-y
I think that these type of "experiments" are very much part of Iron Heart's DNA as I, for one, associate the brand among other things, with high quality functional clothing. In my opinion, this jacket classifies as such since it ticks both of those boxes - it's high quality and functional. Regardless of whether others appreciate the (admittedly underrated) functional clothing line of Iron Heart as much as I do, I believe that it is very important for the brand's future and survival to continue experimenting, innovating and learning - even if that sometimes means that annoying (at least to me) changes need to be made in order to try and learn new things like e.g. the very functional vertical outer pockets being omitted with the IHJ-79-BLK vs. IHJ-127-BLK.
To clarify my point above with an example: In essence, I believe that the purpose of this jacket is comparable to (or at least it reminds of it) the IH-535 from 12 years ago (damn) which on the one hand is pretty much a "prototype" of the current IHJ-75-BLK / the newly announced IHJ-138-BLK in terms of design, but was made with the same purposes of this jacket (layering over clothing, waterproof etc.)
TL;DR: As risky as it may be to experiment and innovate, and as much as I may dislike the one or other (hopefully temporary) change, I like that IH doesn't shy away from making mistakes sometimes and learning from them.

Sadly (or fortunately) nothing caught my interest in this season's release

RE: The Evolution of Iron Heart
That has got to be one of the best if not the best 14oz IH denim fades I've seen so far...

RE: Belts
@AdamJ Thanks mate
I considered it of course, but it's too wide for what I needed. I went with a custom-made Horween leather belt by "Hollows Leather" which I've been using for a while now. Will post more details about it when I get a chance.

RE: IRON HEART WAYWT - 2024 EDITION
@endo Thanks for sharing, I replied and referred to your last one, not knowing it was just a cheap brand.
But the style and color does look pretty good on you and suit your face better in my opinion. JMMs have the tendency to hide the face underneath the thick acetate when used as opticals which made me grow cold of mine and sell it a while ago, but everyone is different of course.
