This is by far my favorite series Carl M. produces despite never knowing who his guests are on each episode. But therein is the magic, to have a curated experience by experts of their fields. Of course, I do not believe I could ever justify paying $300+ for a shirt but it doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the quality of craft and production that go Into these products.
I love my Iron heart jeans. The quality no matter the weight of the denim is just incredible. People have to try them and feel the fabric of iron hearts after you feel them you accept the price automatically.
Great video and conversation. I’ve never had the pleasure to meet Carl in person but I’m friends with Albert. He is such a great chap! Full of energy and always positive. Living in Manhattan I have the same „issue“ as Albert regards limited space to store. Over the last decade I started to reduce my wardrobe living by two mantras: 1) less is more and 2) if you buy cheap, you buy twice. Now, every time I put on one of my Aero leather jackets, Ironheart denim jackets, Pikes Brothers shirts, etc. it’s a pleasure. It’s awesome to see stuff developing and becoming more beautiful over time. Other than with dress suits these things become nicer with wear and often I think it’s sad to see all these super nice guys and girls on Instagram with awesome outfits, but given how much selection they have, they will never explore the beauty of really breaking something in! More of this please!
There is no such thing as standard sizing in clothes. It varies between brands, it varies between geographies, it also actually varies over time (as humans have got larger over the last 100 or so years, actual sizing v tag size has also got larger). That is why we advise you to measure something you already own. There is a link to "how we measure" on every product page. that and also a complete set of measurements for that specific product.
Surprised these fellas dont understand this concept. This should be standard at any online store. While Im ranting, recipes should be grams/kg's instead 1/3 cup of this, tsp of that. Same concept
most online stores are still not good enough. many dont measure the actual garments, they make a suggestions based on your body measurements and with no regard to how you might want to layer. they may only take a few measurements like chest and waist, not things like sleeve, shoulder or thighs. many dont explain in detail the difference in the cuts such as "relaxed, regular, slim, tapered" etc etc. I look at the size guides strictly every time I purchase online, and still send stuff back constantly. there is no comparison to trying things on at an actual store.
Excellent talk and Albert is super relatable. I like his style a lot and as much his views and reasons to buy IH. Plus, I love the Wabash shirt. This ages amazingly. Thanks Carl.
***WARNING*** this video should probably come w a disclaimer. Iron Heart is a slippery slope for sure. You buy your first IH anything, saying, “that will be my only buy…I just want a taste/see what all the fuss is about”. Once on you begin breaking it in, you understand how completely flawless the garment is in every way… every following purchase from that point on becomes more and more justifiable.
Carl, I enjoy your channel very much. I have learned a lot of things about buying better and buying less. Much appreciated. I also want to say that you have to continue having Albert back on your show. His energy comes through the video. What a great guy. These videos with Albert are some of my favorites now.
Have always thought that with age comes wisdom , i am 65 , really enjoyed your interview with your friend who enjoys what he does and lives by what he feels
Great conversation! I think that the really important thing to think about here is that quality matters. Your personal preference and style matter and are important factors in expressing who you are fully and authentically. If being money conscious and thrift style is your thing, own it. If $300 flannels are what make you happy and you can afford it, then you shouldn't feel guilty about it. Do what makes you happy, and what speaks to you personally.
The key thing about Iron Heart's cost is that they're not actually as expensive as they are, because a large portion of the price is because of them being sold outside of Japan. I think that Iron Heart flannels are like 200 bucks in Japan, which is obviously hella expensive but not totally the most expensive thing out there. Something I've found interesting is that there are domestic brands, like Freenote, that are charging Iron Heart or close to Iron Heart prices, including 300 dollar heavyweight flannels. I'd love to see their cost breakdown
I rarely ever watch long videos like this one in its entirety! But I did here! Albert was great! Really cop guy and a great conversation! Glad to be a part of!
I love this style of UA-cam video. Two guys who are into similar styles. Styles which are also to my taste, talking and looking at the items in question. Bravo for this, it's top notch.
I’m in that category of being in my early 50’s and wanting to change my look to fit my age.I’m getting into the outdoors look because I work in a lumber mill and that just fits my age and what I do. Those Ironheart jeans are very nice but the price is a bit over the top.I just can’t justify spending 365 bucks on a pair of jeans. Great video though as always.
I'm in pretty much the same boat as yourself Rich,I bought some brave star selvege to start myself off as the price is way lower and I gotta say I love them.
Im happy to know that I'm not too old to still be wearing jeans and rocking the vintage look. I work in the office, but every Friday I throw on my momotaro or big john jeans and red wing boots. Glad to know my clothes have plenty of time to age with me.
The color of Albert's clothing is totally different until the camera angle switches to full on front where the light hits him from the side. I thought he was wearing a black shirt at first, same with the jeans. Great conversation, learned a lot since I'm hitting 60 this May.
Great video, I particularly enjoyed the part talking about being realistic in buying so many pieces. I run into the same problem, i easily go overboard and buy more than I truly need. I realistically won’t wear a lot of what I have that often but yet I keep buying more lol. It’s such a battle
Iron Heart is the king of shirts but I recently bought an Indigofera flanel shirt and wel that could be called a king as well. Difference between the two is that the IF has a nice nappi structure to it where the IH is clean and very constant. As far as jeans go, yes they cost a lot of money but expensive? No not that in my opinion because the quality is out of this world, I wear a pair of 555's (the tightest fit IH offers) in 18oz for over a year and the crutch is just recently about to blow out, not just yet but almost. Great conversation as always I would say. With one important lesson; for god sake buy the damn piece...!
Denim that lasts a year is quality? You got an odd sense of what quality clothing is. I have the 888 cut 21oz, the seam at the crotch started fraying a year in, and the crease in the cuffs was wearing through. I have carhartts 3 years old that has seen down in the dirt and cement work, and they’re holding up better. IH, imo, is clothing for rich hipsters.
@@MrGreen-hx8lp before this I whore Nudie Jeans and the crotch blew out after half a year and that happened in a massive way, this is just minor. I am talking about 365 days of actual wear. As far as style is concerned each to his own of course. For me IH is in an absolute other playing field than Carhartt, but that's just me of course
@@bobzuidema3560 Don’t get me wrong, I love IH denim. I really wanted to love my 888s, but after just under a year of light wear 1-2 days/week and it was already developing holes, I can’t justify spending another 350-400$ on that garbage. Again, the denim itself is great, but as far as durability it’s piss poor. Yeah, it breaks in and fades gloriously and all that, but all that doesn’t mean much to me if my 50$ carhartts can withstand 5x the abuse of IH.
As I come into my 2nd year of my 40s, I’ve found myself looking for more expensive clothing, that wears well and lasts… most of my life, I’ve been a Walmart/target shopper… now that I have money to spend… I want clothing that just feels good to wear.
I have 7 IronHeart shirts from Denim to flannels and they are my favorites. Thing is that they are so good and durable that even if you purchase one per year you will still be stacked on them 😂
What a coincidence! I JUST subscribed to your channel and was wondering why you didn't have more extensive coverage of Iron Heart. I'm a HUGE Iron Heart fan. I think I have upwards of 15 pieces from them. I also have repeat items ... just in case they discontinue any of them. For years, I wanted selvedge denim. But, as you know, selvedge denim always had a slim fit and were unbelievably tight. Their 888 selvedge jeans are the ONLY jeans that fit me well. I love this model of mid-rise/high-rise denim with roomy thighs. They're an excellent company with even better customer service, along with superior products. BTW, great channel and great coverage of items.
I bought my first Iron Heart shirt about 9 months ago. Since then I’ve bought an additional 6 shirts. They are incredible! I do love Indigofera(have several)and have many many RRL shirts but nothing compares to IH. Want to get a pair of raw denim IH jeans but unfortunately I have two many others that I need to “wear” before I go with IH. I’m scared if I buy a pair I will never wear anything else…
I totally agree with Albert I hate buying clothes online when I don't know the fit and sizes, and it's so disappointing when something does not fit. Though luckily for me their is a store which sells Iron Heart not to far from me.
I love Albert’s IG. I just turned 50 and always look there for inspiration for my own wardrobe. I just have to lighten it up a bit, being from Southern California. While I haven’t splurged on an Ironheart flannel just yet, I do have some nice ones from Eat Dust, Gustin , and Taylor Stitch.
I am writing this comment from the Shinkansen train from Osaka back to Tokyo to fly home to the states. I visited Iron Heart’s direct retail shop in Osaka hours before I left to do some last minute shopping and was shocked by the price disparity. The Iron Heart UK guys drastically mark up the prices for western consumers and it has me questioning if Iron Heart truly is worth “every cent.” For instance, I picked up their cotton sateen field jacket, an ultra heavy flannel, and a pair of ultra heavy indigo black 634s for a little over $700. That much merchandise would have cost me close to $1500 back home. I love Iron Heart, but that price disparity has me questioning whether it really is worth it. In all seriousness, I don’t think I’ll be buying Iron Heart again unless im back in Japan. I feel fleeced at home now and it literally could be cheaper or on parity to fly and buy directly from the source. Japan has way better ramen anyway 😝
Yeh I was very upset after spending quite a bit on their clothes a few years ago and finding out the UK guys are marking up to pay themselves. You can see the prices of their products on the Japanese UA-cam channel. The founder goes over their releases and the price is show in yen. They do offer free shipping and actually give you your money back if you want to return a product. A lot of companies even here in the US aren’t doing that. The shirts are usually a good $100 cheaper. When the oiled N1 deck jacket was released it was literally half the price as sold on the UK site. I bought it. If you factor in plane tickets hotel cost and time flying to Japan to buy stuff wouldn’t be cheaper but I do have some military friends out there still….. but the iron heart shop is kind of far from Tokyo
Iron Heart is hands down my favorite brand. Each item I own will last decades, I have no doubt. The craftsmanship must be seen/felt to fully appreciate
I once thought pendleton weren't worth the 160 dollar price tag until I bought one... now I have 6, however I could not get behind a 350 dollar flannel shirt. Kudos to those that can afford them but I can't see the value in it. It's cotton not wool so if I gets wet, it's worthless until it dries
I picture myself looking like Albert when I’m his age. Engineers and leather jackets. Iron Heart itself is too expensive for someone in their 20s. Red Wing and Bravestar for now.
What do I do if I have been wearing flannels and self edge since I was 23? I’m 30 now! Haha but that’s why I love this style. Good fitting jeans, and a good fitting shirt have been in style since forever! So I don’t mind investing in these pieces because of how long I can wear them.
I am trying to decide whether to buy one of Iron Hearts ultra heavy flannels, or a wool shirt from Pendleton. Any advice or comparison would be greatly appreciated.
Having 4 or 5 pairs of engineer boots is a bit excessive.. A total of 4 or 5 pairs of boots would make more sence. Some people cant even afford one pair of these. Some respect to everyone intrested by giving away some stuff 😊 I've been looking at iron heart Jean's for years but 2022 is my time to get a pair or two ha ha Great video Carl all the best in 22
When you own Iron Heart you're getting more value from one pair than you would get from five pairs of Levis---and what else do you own that actually gets better the more you use it? I get how the price deters or turns off but there's more value in IH than any everyday brand. It's that simple.
Is anyone out there familiar with Hiut denim jeans? They're hand made in my home country of Wales..i dont own any myself (£250+ a pair) but you guy's woukd love them! Definitely worth checking out
What’s Carl’s Height and weight? I’m debating between L or XL because it shrinks right? I’m 5’’8 187lbs with wide shoulders and chest. Can’t decide which side to go with. I don’t want it super tight.
Hit the 26 minute mark and ended up buying the same Iron Heart Selfedge jacket. We're nuts!
For what it's worth, I really enjoy these kind of interviews, not really scripted or anything, just 2 people going over what they love and enjoy.
This is by far my favorite series Carl M. produces despite never knowing who his guests are on each episode. But therein is the magic, to have a curated experience by experts of their fields. Of course, I do not believe I could ever justify paying $300+ for a shirt but it doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the quality of craft and production that go Into these products.
$300 for a flannel is ridiculous and I used to work at REI where an Arteryx beanie is $75. $300 for jeans is a different story.
I love my Iron heart jeans. The quality no matter the weight of the denim is just incredible. People have to try them and feel the fabric of iron hearts after you feel them you accept the price automatically.
Nice!
So much clothing wisdom regarding quality tempered by restraint and becoming happy with what you have.

There's something about this video that made me happy, good vibes
This was so well done. What a great interview and chemistry.
Man, I loved the vibes in this video. You guys could have chatted for hours.
Carl, You and Albert summed up "The Bug" very well. I thought I was the only one! Thanks for a great video
Thanks for this view into this brand guys!! Really enjoying the conversation!
Cheerz from Germany!

@@Poolrule I bought a pair of Brave Star's as well - and I have to agree - they're really fantastic.
@@boerenkool yeah the fits just work for me and cant fault the quality at that price
You may want to give Gustin a try. You have to have some patience, but the prices and quality are very good.
Very much enjoyed this interview. Thanks, gents!
Loved this! Felt more like a couple of buds hanging out than an interview. I just wish it was longer, please bring Albert back.
Im happy to know that I'm not too old to still be wearing jeans and rocking the vintage look. I work in the office, but every Friday I throw on my momotaro or big john jeans and red wing boots. Glad to know my clothes have plenty of time to age with me.
Great interview! Your channel is launching me in to this quality American made work ware! Thank you
I will be going to buy a pair of Iron Heart denim very soon here in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks for the video Carl. I really admire your work.

Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed your guest, the format and the subject. Thank you! Absolutely loved the video.
My favorite show so far. Great job guys! Very enjoyable.
Giving the shirt off your back has new meaning!
Awasome with Albert! Ironheart is just Amazing 👌👌👌
The denim is worth the cost, 100%. No experience with the flannel. Downside is you can never really enjoy wearing Levi’s again.
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you!

Well heck.. I saw 40 mins and thought I can’t waste that much time. But you two sucked me in and I enjoyed the whole thing.
This popped up on my feed one minute after buying my first Iron Heart item online. Love this!
This was your best episode!!!
Would love to see other shows like this episode. I learned so much from this episode.
Really enjoyed this, probably one of your best videos. Albert has great style and some great insight on IH.

One of my favorite brands together with Trophy Clothing & Snow Peak.
Just great products!
Great work as always.

I'm not an Iron Heart fan at all, but I am a big fan of Albert so this was great!
This was a great video. loved the discussion. You guys seemed to gel really well
I’d love to see the two of you have a podcast!! As if you don’t have enough going on, but this was awesome!! Thanks
I really love this type of video. You all did it right.
The carter family and woody guthrie recorded a song called "wabash cannonball". it is a famous folk song. maybe that is where they got the name
guys awesome conversation. i laughed the whole time coz what albert saying about buying and shopping :-D i feel ya man..
Wabash pattern named after the Wabash Indian tribe that used the dotted stripe pattern back in the 1800’s. Looks great in black
Loved this video. It was fun. Bring him back.
I love Albert’s IG. I just turned 50 and always look there for inspiration for my own wardrobe. I just have to lighten it up a bit, being from Southern California. While I haven’t splurged on an Ironheart flannel just yet, I do have some nice ones from Eat Dust, Gustin , and Taylor Stitch.

Very true but it’s hard to get the items and it’s a pay for accessibility. Otherwise I’m gonna fly to Osaka.
2 legends in the game. love to know if any of the other big japanese flannels are close in quality for less money
Great video!! I will be checking out Iron heart!!
Two guys I'd love to have a glass of whiskey with. ANOTHER killer video, Carl. Hi Albert!
I like the conversation about how much do you need.
I’m 33 and I have a iron heart wardrobe.
Not just for older men. I love IH
Loved it guys!
I have a couple of IH jackets. Couldn't love them more.
Iron Heart is hands down my favorite brand. Each item I own will last decades, I have no doubt. The craftsmanship must be seen/felt to fully appreciate
That was awesome, man.
Living in Lake Placid, ready to go to NYC and Glens Falls.
🔥Both of you have an amazing collection, boots, jackets, ect.....🔥

19:15 I can totally relate lol....my mom and I have that same relationship.
Love albert! And brown and blue flannel is awesome
I am trying to decide whether to buy one of Iron Hearts ultra heavy flannels, or a wool shirt from Pendleton. Any advice or comparison would be greatly appreciated.
I definitely want to grab some iron heart.. I wish they offered one of those payment processes that a lot of these other companies are starting tondo
Having 4 or 5 pairs of engineer boots is a bit excessive.. A total of 4 or 5 pairs of boots would make more sence.
Some people cant even afford one pair of these. Some respect to everyone intrested by giving away some stuff 😊
I've been looking at iron heart Jean's for years but 2022 is my time to get a pair or two ha ha
Great video Carl all the best in 22
Self Edge is an awesome store! We have one in San Francisco! You get your fit to the T
Great interview!! Love his instagram
thoroughly enjoyed this video
YES!!! Been starting to look at this brand more and more lately. One day I’m gonna buy, one day...
Bought the yellow one! I tagged you on my Instagram post and you replied. I had to give this another watch after buying mine!
When you own Iron Heart you're getting more value from one pair than you would get from five pairs of Levis---and what else do you own that actually gets better the more you use it? I get how the price deters or turns off but there's more value in IH than any everyday brand. It's that simple.
That horsehide cafe racer is no longer available right? Couldn't find it anywhere online
this is really interesting i personally like getting quality items but as this guy mentioned with the 25$ overalls price doesnt always mean best
Is anyone out there familiar with Hiut denim jeans? They're hand made in my home country of Wales..i dont own any myself (£250+ a pair) but you guy's woukd love them! Definitely worth checking out
This guy’s a riot 🤣. Great interview
Are Freenote Cloth western Denim shirts any good?
What’s Carl’s Height and weight? I’m debating between L or XL because it shrinks right? I’m 5’’8 187lbs with wide shoulders and chest. Can’t decide which side to go with. I don’t want it super tight.
