Hey all, new to the forum. I’m in NYC.

I’ve been into well-made clothes for a while, but heritage/raw denim’s never really been my thing. Decided to buy a pair of 3sixteen jeans a few years ago, and liked them well enough. Eventually they were huge on me, but I wore them for a couple years nonetheless before finally retiring them 2 weeks ago.

For a replacement I picked up a pair of 21 oz 634’s at Self Edge and immediately fell in love. I’d been vaguely aware of Iron Heart before — mainly had been eyeing some of the leather jackets, and knew about their reputation for quality in general. But did not expect to be bowled over like this; I guess after trying my first pair of 3s jeans, and thinking they were just fine, I figured people were being a little hyperbolic when they described how incredible IH is. Anyhow, I’ve spent the last week doing a deep dive on the website, reading about the history of the brand, reading posts here, etc. and I’ve caught the bug hard. The whole thing just clicked with me.

@Freeman Seconding @flannel-slut here, you guys go above and beyond! Thanks a lot, will measure a jacket later and shoot a note/order one and leave a request. I think maybe an XL with a slightly larger chest might be perfect...

@Jett129 Nice! I’m in Queens. From the west coast originally but been in New York the last decade.

@tody ha, no Germany connection, just happen to know the term. Studied philosophy at one point.

Received this yesterday and love it. Beautiful, fits perfect, heavy as fuck. Thanks again to @Freeman @Alex and @Graham for their help.

Looking back through the thread, is the consensus that this doesn’t need any waterproofing?

@Alex Thanks very much Alex!

Been wanting this one for a while. I think I'm between sizes on this one and curious if anyone has any advice!

Measuring myself, my chest measurement is 44 in, shoulder measurement 19.5 in. I wear an XL in the IHSW-10 zip up hoodie. I don't have any IH jackets or shirts yet, but I tried on the IHSH-218-BLK Johnny Cash III recently and an XXL seemed to fit me perfectly.

Better to go for an XL or an XXL? I'm leaning toward XXL, just don't want it to be too big.

@Jett129 Looks great!

@Jett129 Awesome, thank you. I was leaning Heritage because of what seemed like its versatility, so this is great to hear. I'm more into the aesthetics of the Softail, but I think practicality needs to win out here...

Looking for some motorcycle advice, figured I might as well ask on here!

I sold my bikes (vintage Hondas) when I moved from the west coast to NYC a decade ago. Finally in a situation to have one again, and I'm starting to look around. My whole family rides Harleys, so I grew up around them, but I'm only now really looking at one for myself. Does anyone have any thoughts about what Harley might be best in a big city like NYC? I'll have access to indoor parking. Ideally I want something that I could take on long rides/trips out of the city, so that sort of crosses a Sportster off my list, even though that seems ideal for city riding. Been looking mainly at the Softail standard and a Heritage (would be buying used.)

I know it says UK only, so apologies, but if you're willing to ship to the US at all, I would buy the IHJ-526Lod
