I just love Iron Heart. Perfect for a cold Canadian winter day.

RE: IH-634SBR-14 - 14oz Broken Twill Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
The eagle has landed!
I really like this denim. There is a beautiful depth of color and in my opinion, it’s actually quite soft right out of the gate. I think the break in time will be short.
Call me crazy, but another interesting thing I’ve noticed, is that they almost feel like they have a touch of stretch. I know they don’t, but I guess maybe it’s just the lighter material compared to the 21 oz I’ve been wearing lately.
Regardless, they are awesome, and I’m looking forward to wearing the heck out of them this summer.
Sorry about the pics, I’m not really set up to take professional” selfies lol.

RE: IRON HEART WAYWT - 2024 EDITION
There really are so many great shots here. So great to see various ways to wear all of this great clothing.
In all honesty, I came to this brand very late in life. I was searching for a new look so to speak. I was tired of the boring mall denim, chinos, sweater/shirts look. A “new look” wasn’t really as contrived as that, but you get my point … something age appropriate, slightly edgy, but I can also wear to work.
Somehow, I found a place called the Fedora Lounge as I was searching for a good leather jacket. Once there, the brand Iron Heart was mentioned … it’s been a rabbit hole ever since lol.
Love the ethos of the brand, the unique designs, and of course the quality, but beyond that, it fits me well. I tried so many Japanese brands, and I always had fit problems.
So glad I landed here!

RE: IHSH-332-SAX - Ultra Heavy Flannel Anniversary Check Western Shirt - Sax
I missed the boat on this shirt when it was released and I’ve been looking for one in my size ever since.
Late to the party, but I finally found one and even though I paid a premium, it is worth it to me. What a fantastic piece of work IH!

RE: Holiday Traditions
Besides the regular Christmas stuff, we’ve had a tradition that goes back many years …
The first weekend of every December our favourite band 54-40 plays at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, and we make a weekend of it.
Here we are …

RE: Parenting
I love this thread, it sure brings back fond memories of those years!
I’ll call myself a veteran (I’m not really). We have two teenagers 16 and 18.
If you thought parenting infants was tough work, wait till their hit their teens :).
My advice is this … keep things simple, your time is the biggest and most important thing you can gift your children. Be kind, patient, and love them for who they are.
Last, have fun, joke and laugh. If you look carefully in the second photo, you’ll see how the kids and I love to spoil moms perfect family photos.

RE: IHSH-386-RED - 5oz Selvedge Short Sleeved Western Shirt - Red Vintage Check
I just posted in your other thread (green) and see you bought the red as well
Fit is such a personal thing isn’t it? Feel however is not. If an item of clothing feels too tight in a certain area, that feeling is not likely to go away IMHO. Otherwise, I’d say the fit looks good on you. Maybe without a tee shirt you get a little more room to maneuver…
I have exactly the same issue with some shirts… too small in the chest, or too baggy in the body.
You might reach out to the IH team and have them take some actual measurements of the XXL for you. I was surprised how much difference there was between the measurements and the size chart.

RE: IHSH-386-GRN - 5oz Selvedge Short Sleeved Western Shirt - Green Vintage Check
IMO it looks decent, and maybe without a tee underneath it would give you a tad more wiggle room?
I had the same problem, I finding the right fit in the green which was my first choice. I had to switch to the red as the measurements just works out better for me. I’m right between an XL and XXL in size.
The chest is a bit tight but if I sized up the body would be too baggy.
I had Josh measure a few and I was surprised by how much difference there was between the posted sizes and the actual measurements.

@Mizmazzle Thanks so much for that, and what you say makes complete sense.
Your jacket looks absolutely terrific on you, nailed the fit!

RE: Himel Brothers Leather Co.
@goosehd same question to you … how do you find this pattern for mobility?
Looks great on you btw!

RE: Himel Brothers Leather Co.
@Mizmazzle I realize this is a very old thread … but I thought I’d keep the topic alive.
How do you find the jacket for mobility? Can you button it up and still raise your arms to parallel (ish)?
I owned a Himel Imperial but sadly it had to go as it was too snug (my fault not David’s). Now I’m thinking a different style and the Canuck in the dark Shinki brown is calling .
