RE: IHG-112-RACE - Iron Heart “Racing” Small Mug
Yeah, the new ones are sanforized and one-washed, so little to no shrinkage to be expected.

RE: Recent Purchases
Just received this (IMHO) insane and rare hoodie:
After @Fades-for-future did some great detective work and identified these as the IHSW-38, I was able to find out that they were exclusively produced for the Japanese market / not sold internationally. Also, these were produced before 2020/2021 which is, as @Alex kindly confirmed, approximately when IH started producing their hoodies slightly longer than they used to. I'm a huge fan of the older, shorter versions of IH hoodies. And since a) those won't be produced anymore, b) there aren't many of the older versions out there for sale and c) I didn't have a black IH hoodie yet (only grey and navy, so far), I just had to get these.
Normally, I'm not a printed T-Shirt, hoodie, jacket etc. type of guy. So would I have wanted a fully plain hoodie? Yes. But the print on this particular hoodie is (unexpectedly) super nice and reflects the rough character and high quality of IH that I love and appreciate so much.

RE: IHJ-69 - Corduroy Modified Type III Jacket - Black and Khaki
Just received my IHJ-69-KHA. I love my IHJ-69-BRN (Brown) which I bought in 2019 and have been wearing pretty much every spring/summer - until my girlfriend recently took an interest in it... Hence, the IHJ-69-KHA is my new companion now.

RE: IH-735-KHA - 11oz Herringbone Work Pants - Khaki
Hope the conversation cited below from the thread of the cargo version helps @Matt, @flannel-slut, @ARNC
@Punatnik said in IH-733-KHA - 11oz Herringbone Cargo - Khaki:
Can you expect any stretch in waist, with this material?
@Alex said in IH-733-KHA - 11oz Herringbone Cargo - Khaki:
Yes, but less/slower than denim in my opinion. I would anticipate 0.5-0.75"

RE: Random questions to which you seek an answer
The last thing I would doubt when it comes to Iron Heart is durability.

RE: Indigo invitational Y4
Marbling can be prevented by soaking the jeans entirely right before washing, then washing in the washing machine with very low/no spin.

RE: What makes IH special?
Whether a brand is special or not is a matter of personal opinion and dependent on the value and meaning (and thus also the price) you assign to it. Just because millions of people think that a brand is special, doesn't mean I will. A million opinions couldn't change my mind about a brand or product if I were convinced of the idea, to begin with, that it's all just nothing but a big hype. To truly find out the answer to your question, you have to put aside what everyone thinks and experience and find out for yourself if the brand or product is special to you. Should you then still come to the conclusion that the brand isn't worth to you what others say it's worth, then fortunately, there are plenty of options to choose from that you might consider "special" (and others maybe don't).

I'd love to see that one if you find the time at some point.

GEA Waldviertler
Let me introduce you to a brand that I discovered recently: GEA Waldviertler.
It's a company based in Waldviertel, Austria which produces shoes and boots (as well as indoor furniture, but that's a different story) that have a similar last shape to that of Birkenstock's aka the infamous "Munson" last. Personally, since I have wide feet and a splaying toes, I find it incredibly difficult to find shoes and boots that are a) built on the latter mentioned last (basically my top priority), b) of good quality, c) good-looking and d) affordable. Personally, I like some of the models they have such as mainly their Chelsea and Chukka/Desert boot inspired footwear. They also have quite nice color options and combinations. While I'm aware that most people are not a fan of the Munson shape, the last itself ensures a lot of immediate comfort and once you try that shape/last, you wouldn't want to go back to any of the "conventional" or "pointier" (read: narrow) lasts.
The shoes usually (but not always) come in three widths: F (narrow), G (normal) and H (wide) and they have a stitchdown welt construction which means that the shoes are very durable and resoleable. They also come with a leather in- and midsole, a structured toe (soft) and heel, an outsole that seems to be similar to Vibram (?) as well as full leather lining.
I went to the local shop nearby today with the idea in mind to try a few of their models and get a better idea of the sizing. All I can say is that it was quite difficult to leave with only the model that I intended to buy initially and I almost gave in and bought yet another pair...
Here's my purchase (please excuse the nylon underneath the boots, the soles are dirty):
These are a pair of "Tramper Flex" in width H. Sizing seems to be TTS based on my limited experience. This particular model doesn't have removable insoles as they are glued in, but they could be easily ripped out if one wanted to.
I'll update the thread with my experience if I have further details to add. Looking forward to finding out how they'll do in the long run. In the meanwhile, here's a photo of how these are supposed to age.

@Giles Perfect, thank you.

RE: Random questions to which you seek an answer
At the risk of asking a too general question: Are the newer Iron Heart products (jeans, knits and sweats, jackets etc.) of an obviously superior construction and material quality than the earlier products?
