Iron Heart Jeans

[blm14]

my uncle has a collection of classic ducatis that he rebuilt himself from original parts over about 15 years. I learned to ride on one of these

I miss having access to them - they're all in vermont now

The Works Garage by Iron Heart

I'm in Tokyo for business and was invited out by the president of Iron Heart to take a tour of their newly opened shop. I think i was more excited to see the motorcycles than any other part of the store or jean repair facilities. The store is out in Hachioji City, but worth the trip.

We drank quite a few glass bottled Cokes, talked heavy denim, discussed further projects, picked up some finished pairs of sample jeans, and admired their collection of Iron Heart branded bikes.

It's interesting to see that in Japan this brand is purely for guys on motorcycles yet outside of Japan it appeals to a very wide range of customer and has no limitations based on whether or not you ride a bike. These guys live and breathe motorcycles and it's another interesting take on a classic American culture through the eyes of the Otaku Japanese.

On to the photos..

The Works Garage

The Iron Heart Collection of Bikes, Some of which are just shop bikes and used to go on sales calls.

Just received 634SR and I’m literally scared lol. Scared to soak them and want to return/exchange for 634S which is supposed to be softer. Almost ripped my nail on thumb trying to button monsters. Will they be more friendly after the soaking or need like half a year to break in?

they definitely will soften up, i remember almost hurting myself when i was trying to button them up as well. i don't wear mine enough to have them broken in completely but they are still wearable

not really close to the 301s, it's straight with a taper

Triple Works no longer has anything to do with Iron Heart really.. Somebody should start a new thread about it.
