Seidel Mocha Tan pair I recently scored.

White's x BCC MP-Sherman paired with 633S-OD.

Congrats @Daniel-San and @thooy05 on the chore coat pickups!

I went from 0 to 2 leather jackets this year, so I'm going to lock up the credit card to avoid ruffling the wife's feathers who has been quite patient so far.

I got in on the Scar Kakishibu chore coat preorder and was quite stoked it landed a good six months ahead of the original estimate. I love it and can't wait to get some wear in before it gets too warm but goodness, the button holes give IH 25oz. denim a run for their money!

Now that summer is around the corner, the 25th Anniversary Grizzly I bought earlier this year is going into hibernation until it cools off again... which given Seattle, it may be as soon as next week.

888-XHSib (too dark to tell)

Trying to get a few more wears of my UHF before I have to put them away for the California spring/summer. The western cut, fire pit, and bull skull made for an interesting accidental "Old West" vibe.

The fades aren't winning any awards any time soon, but going on just over 2 years with these and I'm loving how they're progressing after their most recent wash.

@Brandrea said in Viberg:

I just messaged Viberg and this is the response I got … looks like they can’t make the 310’s in Shell

That aligns with what I had read anecdotally. Apparently, Viberg in the past tried doing some 310 boots in horsehide, not even shell, to disastrous results. The leather was repeatedly tearing due to the required pulling to stretch it across the structured bump toe, a problem that would only be exacerbated with shell.

@SonnyTheElder

These are so good, just like everybody else I’m constantly looking for OG make ups. I’ve only bought a couple new Viberg’s in the last five years +.

Amen brother! It's slim pickings for me at size 13 but just makes the pairs I do manage to snag that much sweeter.

@Iron-Heart-Germany said in WESCO:

@UH I believe our Wesco Custom Boss is the same model as the Derrell at Ship John. No idea where the name Derrell comes from. But both are Boss boots.

The only difference seems to be the half sole on your guys' make-up vs. the full sole on the Derroll boot.

@Denman-John Thank you! They're on the 2040 last on Dainite sole. It's an older makeup, I think around 2015-16 and while not new, they are in pristine condition. Stoked to find this pair, takes the sting out of not being able to get that sweet Predator Roughout pair from BCC you got.

No firsthand experience, but I've read a number of positive reviews about Unsung House. There's an upcharge because they too have do do the stitchdown by hands, but the work I've seen is very clean.

AA skipper, 9oz IH flannel and IH relaxed tapered chinos

Don't forget those dope Vibergs I see poking out of the frame!

I like the current abundance of N1 jackets in this thread.

Agreed, but also envious of all you folks in a climate where you can rocking those N1s!

@Tago-Mago said in IRON HEART WAYWT - 2025 EDITION:

@Alex hair loss in its hereditary form is correlated with higher levels of androgens, so the only reasonable explanation is that I am supremely masculine

As a fellow supremely masculine (read bald) fellow, I'm stealing this!

Cold one today minus 7 Fahrenheit outside.

Definitely a cold one as I can't recall seeing you without one of your expertly-faded Type IIIs or leather jackets!
