The Flat Head delivery

Today, we received 3 huge boxes full of Flat Head Gear right from the headquarters in Chikuma-City, Nagano.

First of all, we got a restock of the famous 1001 jeans model.

New in our line-up is the 3009, a straight model which is slightly tapered.

Along with the jeans, we also received new wallets, which should be interesting for those of you who don't fancy the large-sized ones.

We also got some smaller goodies, like wallet ropes in kangaroo leather and silver eight hooks, plus a restock of the horseshoe keyrings.

The products are available in our online store now!

Super Black Fade To Gray

Just in: Iron Heart Beatle Busters in a very special denim, that will fade from a super intense black to gray. The name Super Black fade to Gray (SBG, as you can see on the leather patch) kinda sounds like a Japanese rock band, which is actually a great thing.

It's a slim straight model with a slight taper from the knee down, making sure this is one of the most flattering cuts Iron Heart has produced so far. And we hear you thinking: 'I'm not getting a pair of super heavy black jeans with the summer being just moments away', but remember Iron Heart denim isn't that hard to wear during the warmer times. The denim isn't woven very tightly, so your legs will still be able to breathe!

Of course this pair also features great details, like an extra big leather patch that will age beautifully, herringbone pocket lining and a hidden knife pocket in the front left hand pocket.

Get your pair here, we got the new Beatle Buster in sizes 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 36.

The Wizard of 21OZ

Here's the pair of Iron Heart DC4001's worn by Steffen, who's also a competitor in the Heavyweight Denim Championship organized on the denim forum Superfuture. These jeans will be worn on almost a daily basis until at least February 2013, which means you can expect a lot more updates on these jeans over time!

In these pictures Steffen has worn his jeans for 3 months, and they haven't been soaked or washed yet. We're very impressed with the wear already, the denim looks very crispy and the fades are sharper than you'd expect on Iron Heart denim. Do you have pics or your own pair of Iron Heart or any other brand that you'd like to see featured on the blog? Send in some pics with a description and we'll show 'em to the world!

Iron Heart DC4001 - 80 days of wear.

 My beloved pair of Iron Heart DC4001 have been worn for 80 days now, and the different hues of blue are popping trough. The Iron Heart denim has a surprising amount of 'depth', considering its weight and other characteristics. Check out some detail shots of the jeans. Some full front- and back pictures will be taken on the next update! Now that the weather is starting to go into the 20's again it'll be a little harder to wear 21oz denim, but I just have to be brave.
