pretty much Iron Heart day

[davichan]

this is a great look Beatle, all of it worn true.

i personally love how Iron Heart can really transform from person to person.

the clothing really adapts to well to the personal taste,

from MC Biker, to Classic Country Western or just straight classic 50's Americana... it what keeps me a loyal fan of the brand.

Rock it on Beatle!

everyone's looking so good on this page. i need a pair of iron hearts. waiting for them BB01's

[madapaka]

i feel like my sexih07bks are going nowhere in terms of fading when i see everyone else's. haha everyone's look so great!

i'll post pics soon. i miss having indigo jeans..

[JackCrank]

Yeah I'm not loving the fit of mine either. I keep going back to my 9301s. I'm almost at the point where I wanna trade for a pair of 301's instead.

i love the fit of mine but just not seeing fades. although, they are far lighter than they were before and i do love the color theyre at.

[simpletone]

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with my sexih07bks. It seems like the fugitive dye is pretty damn stable, at least with this denim- granted I have a desk job so my wear and tear isn't so extreme.

I do dig the fit though, especially the more I wear them. And I keep hanging on to the hope of seeing more fades.

The 301s cut is too perfect... I have no idea what cut to get so I'm just going to go another year and then see what's out there. Seriously, every time I go to SelfEdge, somebody walks out with a pair of 301s...

[beatle]

The fading of the od's sure takes some patience...but you will be rewarded..hang in there...

Beatle and Lando = Iron Heart Nerds. <3

[beatle]

can't help it.....

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Still, IH nerds >> all other types of nerds.

[mikecch]

Calf?

I'd have thought Haraki would use steer?

[beatle]

He likes to use cordovan and and cowhide - the calf is actually a nice variation.

[mikecch]

Thanks beatle - so the term 'calf' denotes the colour, not the hide of origin?

[beatle]

it's the origin...doesn't sound so nice when you read it

Calf Leather: Leather made from the skins of young cattle from a few days up to a few months old, the skins weighing up to 15 lbs ((6.8 kg). It is finer-grained, lighter in mass, and more supple than cowhide or kip leathers.

there's a lot of leather info here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leather

and here

[mikecch]

Ah, I see, much thanks beatle

I just thought it was a bit unusual, since most other brands cut their belts from the hides of older animals.

Would rep, but must spread!

[beatle]

no worries....the biggest optical difference of calf verses cowhide is the size of the grains...in other words = calf is a lot smoother

[madapaka]

is this the same leather IH uses for their patches?

[beatle]

I think the leather patches are cowhide...not nerd enough to know...all I know is that they are super duper thick...

[TTM]

some new WWII repro boots from atthefront.com.. cant beat $110 + my overdyes. probably 2-3 weeks on them? I dont really care to keep track. I like how these fade so slow that its pointless looking at them every day and worrying about it.
