Hi guys! I'm from Canada and I was very happy to discover Iron Heart denim.

I had always been a bit of denim head without even realizing it as I coveted selvedge denim since high school. But I never took very good care of them and threw them in the wash after every wear basically. I've currently been rotating around pairs of Momotaros, Tanukis and Evisus.

I had no idea that such a cool community existed until I was looking for a new pair of jeans and discovered Iron Heart in Vancouver at the Shop. Those jeans were stiff and took a while to put on. Sizing was off but I was determined to find a pair that fit me. I eventually landed on a pair of 888 21oz in size 34 made from the Shinayaka denim. These were hemmed to a slight break over my boots and are absolutely awesome. I love the durability of this denim and could not believe how soft the become as I had a chance to touch a pair of Iron Hearts that were heavily used at the Shop. My jaw dropped.

What was most surprising to me was that after trying on a few work shirts and jackets from Iron Heart in person, I found out that all the shirts fit my upper body perfectly. I could not believe it. My entire life I had always been between sizes of a M and L. I always sized up so I could layer but everything was always oversized as a result. Iron Heart has been the only brand that has ever made a shirt that fit my body like a glove. The shoulders perfect, sleeve length perfect and chest. That was really good news and bad news for me because I suddenly wound up with a CPO shirt, a ultra heavy weight flannel and the left hand twilled type 3 jacket within the same week…

I love the fitment of the shirts but I can't wait to get my hands on another pair of 21oz 666s or 777s when they finally restock as I would love to try a more modern and slim fit in this amazing denim. Maybe you guys can suggest a sizing for me.

I hope to show you guys my growing collection in the future. Thank you!
