Iron Heart was originally made for bikers, and even today that focus guides design and construction of the clothing. Confident that the clothes appeal to a variety of owners, Haraki-san conceives of them to be worn by riders and for their preferences. Iron Heart garments are in the main made from heavyweight fabrics, designed to be durable, and to some extent protective for motor bikers. Iron Heart clothing is classic in materials and styling, using mostly flannels, denim and chambrays for shirts, and basing jackets on time tested military or riding favourites. Some designs – for example the 25oz XHS (extra heavy selvedge) denim jeans - are at the limit of what can actually be woven and sewn: “over-engineered is our starting point.”

Time spent gallivanting around South America (Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Chile) & Asia (India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand) experiencing the local culture, cuisine, people & trying to speak their languages. During this time I undertook some voluntary projects, one working at an animal orphanage located in the Peruvian Amazon with responsibilities ranging from caring for the (very wide range of) animals, to providing informative tours of the centre to interested visitors. In India, I assisted at the Animal Aid Unlimited facility outside Udaipur, this centre treated injured street animals and where possible released them, however for those unable to fend for themselves any longer they provided permanent care and love, mostly centred around dogs, cattle and donkeys, with a few randoms thrown in. The final volunteer project I was involved in was in the foot hills of the Nepalese Himalaya working on an organic farm.
