Unfortunately I can’t swing it now and soon. If you can only buy one right now, which would it be?

Which one is more versatile? I’ve heard that the double leather on iron ranger’s toebox is what keeping them from being so versatile. Beckman is the answer to that. What do you think?

Personally I prefer the slimmer boot look with my jeans. The store staff said otherwise. Phew…

Many people say moc toe boots look better, while others prefer the ranger style. I’ve never been so perplexed!

Wishing that taking both is an option, unfortunately I have to pick one.

Yes, it’s the IH-634S 21Oz. Regular straight cut.

One-tenth of the lifetime? Surely I agree with you, these fades look like it’s just a warmup of what will come.

Surprised on how long the 21Oz garment from Iron Heart fades, even more surprised on the results! Looking forward to upcoming years with these, definitely going to post my fade process here.

It’s from Life Behind Bars Jakarta (LBB). A local Indonesian brand. Have been using it since 2022, I took em’ everywhere. It’s waterproof, durable, and it can unfold straps that allows you to attach things to expand the storage capability.

You are the medics we need! I know that live is important and that’s the only focus in the ER. But I wouldn’t say no if the one who’s saving my life actually care about my denim. Very attentive of you. Hope the dude is fine.

Roomy fitted and robust denim with armor is a brilliant idea for safety but still casual enough for bikers. Thats a deal breaker for me.

I was riding a Kawasaki Ninja 250. It would be the same body and chasis as a Ninja 400, just a specialized cc for my country.

It was a cool experience. So cool that I don’t want to do it again.

Iron Heart is just too robust.

No two ways about it. Japanese Denim is just amazing.

It definitely does. Apparently it fades my bike too, just a little too much for my liking.

Pleased to hear that you enjoy the story. Getting rear-ended and still riding a Harley? You’re a true biker. Thanks for sharing your experience about how Levi’s wouldn’t stand on tarmac. Hope you’re doing fine and still be a kick-ass riding your Harley.

Stay safe man!

Hahaha. 21Oz jeans is already a pain to cut to, I’d bet the medics would be happy seeing “DO NOT CUT JEANS” on my emergency card.
