Iron Heart Jeans

[Baeyer-Drewson]

I'd say 20% tops. The gear is just fucking cool. Not even a matter for debate. No bike required.

I guess but I dunno. I ride and I always get annoyed when I see people wearing riding jackets or Harley gear or whatever when they don't have bikes. It's kind of poserish to me but IH is way different obviously.

O yea!? What are you getting? I'm riding an 07 CBR600RR that is pretty awesome but someday I can see myself becoming a Harley guy.

[Guest iron heart]

^^^ That is an awesome shirt. I really want that.

I'm not calling anyone out or anything....but I was always curious how many people who buy these Iron Heart shirts and the windbreaker that says Motorcycle Specialists actually have bikes.

That is a summer 2008 model, there are none left unless Kiya has some. 2009 versions are here:

I've got three motorcycles myself.. but i feel like as though IH is more a motorcycle THEMED brand, not really a gear company.

In real life situations you'd still be fucked if you were wearing IH's clothing and got into a serious accident.

With low impact/speed accidents you're far better off wearing their jeans and shirts than wearing anything else, but anything beyond that and you'd wish you were wearing leathers.

Also a very very small number of IH stuff actually has any print on it referring to motorcycles (outside of the leather tags), so it's not very obvious that it's a motorcycle themed line.

I know you've got bikes Kiya. I didn't know you have 3 though. What's the full lineup? And yea that's the perfect explanation. They don't make stuff for riding bikes but they tailor to that culture for sure. But I think IH 21oz denim is better then some leather pants I've seen lol. I think I might ride my next race in them once I get some and see what people say ha. I PM'd you a few days ago about a restock of the 634s's and got an answer but I'm going to go for a size you already have instead. But are you going to be getting any other IH stuff on the 1st or just a jean restock?

[kiya]

Just a jean and belt restock...

A quote from one of our customers:

"Came off my bike the other day; nothing too serious a few repairs to the bike and a bruised ego! It’s all part of the fun! Anyway... I thought that the guys at Ironheart would like to know, I was wearing a helmet (obviously!), a manmade fibre cloth jacket with integral Knox body armour, and a pair of Ironheart jeans. I hit the road hardest with my right knee, followed by my right elbow. The helmet is a write-off, the jacket needs some minor repair and the jeans are absolutely unmarked. This is particularly noteworthy when the only place where I sustained serious bruising (apart from my ego of course!), was my right knee."

That's pretty cool although not that surprising.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Hey Kiya, you plan on carrying the Triple Works jeans anytime soon?

[kiya]

What Triple Works jeans?

[原料かば]

does anyone want to cop this Mini-Herringbone Check Western Shirt (blue)(large) before i return it?

[Baeyer-Drewson]

What Triple Works jeans?

These Triple Works jeans.

[kiya]

These Triple Works jeans.

Those are the Hidden Rivet collabs, only available through Giles' site.

my cyclist jeans are awesome, except for the fact that after two rides they've given way to visible and upsetting saddle fade already. I thought iron heart was hard to fade?

About the 634SR sizing, I got a pair from rakuten, took a 32, true to size, as didn't want it to be too big.

Truth is the waist is indeed short, but after three hot soaks forcing the waist (quite a bit ), I managed to bring them to the right size.

And overall they are now with the same measurements (thigh, leg opening, rise etc) as the 634S I also own, even a bit bigger maybe.

So would say they are not really undersized, but that there is somehow a problem with the waist size.

Hope will get nice results, not wearing them before autumn or winter however, these things are indeed heavy !

So at no point in this endeavor did you consider just sizing up and waiting a couple weeks?

No not really, first of I don't think an exchange would have been possible, plus a 33 would for sure have been too big everywhere but the waist.

Again, besides the waist, the 634SR w32 is really not smaller than the 634S w32 at all.

is selfedge the only place to get the 301s?

[vjiforlife]

Indeed they are. They are awesome jeans too.

[santos]

My 9301's arrived today from Self Edge. Excuse the shitty Photo Booth pics. For reference, I'm 5'11 155lbs. I picked up a size 31. I wanted something comfortable that can hold up to daily skateboarding. My APCs weren't cutting it.

[vjiforlife]

Seems like a good fit. I can't really see shit though.

[XXXL]

didnt need anything else for camping than a great ih flannel.

A rather pointless question, the same can be applied to just about anything.

How many people who wear Supreme/Nike Dunks actually skateboard?

How many people who wear Affliction/Ed Hardy actually like MMA?

How many people who wear Hollister/A&F actually surf?

The fact is very few people actually buy clothing that has a direct association with the lifestyle and image the brand is trying to convey.

[benz5521]

^^^ And all of those are great points and exactly why people shouldn't do it.

[Stacks]

People should do whatever the fuck they want to do.

Bitching that people who wear labels don't fit into the image the brand uses to push its clothing is some 5th grade "you're a poser" shit, especially when talking about global companies like Nike/A&F.

I'd buy one of those IH tshirts if they weren't so expensive ;(
