What to know about Iron Heart
Iron Heart is a Japanese heavyweight denim and workwear label founded in 2003 by Shinichi Haraki under his company Works Inc., after two decades at Edwin as patternmaker and designer. Built originally for Japan's motorcycling community, the brand is defined by 21oz selvedge denim, the IH-634 jean, and Ultra Heavy Flannel shirting, with fits engineered for riding comfort. Its slogan, "over-engineered is our starting point," frames vertical production from fabric development to garment. Global sales run through Iron Heart International, a UK company owned by Alex Padmore, plus Japanese stores in Hachioji, Kojima, Nagoya and Osaka.
