        I think people expect everything on tap nowdays I have come from a time when you had to wait for things commercialism has changed peoples expectations and they have lost the ability to be patient.its the way we have been brainwashed by big money grabbing corps.

          Seen all those comments on facebook, most of them are nuts to understand.

          Asking random questions jeans fit sizes, from those have no experience at all or when stock coming back in.

          Seen many time Giles tell them IH fourm email Iron Heart.

          Am surprised Giles still keeping his cool 😎

          Some dream of being cool, I make it look dangerous.🖕

            To be fair I don’t think it’s just in the last few years that people expect things to be instantly available, it’s been like that all of my adult life. The race to the bottom for manufacturing started at least in the 70s and people expect more of something to be made (usually by cutting corners) and for a cheaper price. If a brand refuses to drop their standards people are taken aback.

            @Kasi i left the Facebook group because there were too many idiots in there.

                  Your brave give you that. To be honest the facebook group is a different breed same applies to the Good Art Group.

                      Staggering how little people take the time to read before they complain. I think it’s been addressed many, many times how few factories are making the type of goods that IronHeart produces. With the shift toward fast fashion and cheap clothes. I can’t imagine it’s going to be easier either.

                        What if you made fewer things so you could make more of those items that are in the core of what you want? Eg only make 634 and 888s, or whatever makes sense, then devote all of the 21/25 oz fabric to those two not needing to also supply for all the other cuts.

                          @pechelman I suspect ardent 555/666/777/1955 fans would have something to say if we only opted for 634 and 888 in the next run of [insert favourite denim here].

                          I can understand your point, but I think it would be very difficult for us just to consistently choose which denims to make in which cut and not disappoint customers even more

                          The devil is in the detail..

                            @Kasi Honestly, there are some really cool donkeys.

                            They are among my favourite animals. But I have too many favourite animals...

                            You're it.

                                @AdamJ of course that is the issue. Throughout posts it's clear IH can't and won't please everyone, and surely this is a strategy you've all considered, but it does seem strange to me that even with the current state of things there are new cuts and denims being added which would seem to only make the existing problem worse and not better.

                                There might be a middle ground where you can make all the cuts but you dedicate specific fabrics to them each year? All my point is that making everything in everything really isn't doing any favors.
