So when will it be available in the SE online store, and how much will it set me back?..
It will be available online later this week and it is $490 w/o tax.
-
It's $490 at Self Edge, actually comes in a size 36 (which would probably fit me !), and don't tell me it's already sold out (see link below) ! It can't be. They've probably just put the picture up and not entered the stock numbers in yet (I'm hoping). I'm gonna have to pass on it…simply too expensive and can't justify the purchase right now.

Shub - You will be happy to know that they fit small IMO. I sized up to a 46. So I am assuming you will be able to fit into the 36 or 38. And do not fret, It says sold out because it was just recently put on the website and is not on sale yet. It will go on sale online January 13th at 1pm (PST). And I believe that they got 4 in each size. I have a 46 and I think Kiya has a 36 or a 38, most likely the latter. Also, if you are so worried that they would be sold out you should just cruise in to SE after work or when you are free this week? Also, I think that half a G for a denim jacket will be security enough for you to get one. Good Luck!!!

Won't this jacket bleed on your shirt, especially with the overdye. I don't mind blue tinted underwear but I wouldn't want stained shirts.
-
it will bleed all over the place - the bottom of my tees is like blueish black by the end of the day - but that just comes with the territory…

Seul and LandoCal, you're sweet ! You are trying to "poison my mind" aren't you ? (All good !). Believe me, it's so-o-o hard to resist this jacket. I have no doubt that if I stopped into SESF after work this week, I'd end up buying the fucking jacket. That's why I won't do it ! Yeah, credit cards are great, but I really try and live credit-card debt free. It ain't always easy, but I try. If the jacket is available a month from now in my size (pipe dream), then I'll certainly buy it if it fits. I'm in the market for an IH Jacket since the "S Ladies" which Giles overnighted me (to London) was ridiculously too small. After forcing my mom to do some around bust measurements on me, I realized that I was more like a 36.5 or a 37. I went by bra size (I'm 32-34B) and that doesn't work – which is why I made the sizing mistake on the IH Small Ladies jacket (which offered a chest size of 35"). I'm Small/Petite for an American woman but actually it seems rather busty and huge for a Japanese chick.

shub - I believe it will still be there ..judging by the measurements there won't be a lot of guys that could get away with a 36

Beatle, I am a lot crazy actually…impulsive as hell, if the truth be told. I don't mind spending every fucking penny I have (as in, not a lot of savings...) -- I just won't get into credit card debt. I have the real-life example of a very close friend who got into terrible credit card debt (too many shoes, clothes, you name it...) -- and her life is miserable today as a result. As an ardent yoga practitioner, I believe in karma, and yes -- living in the moment, within reason. If this jacket is meant to be owned by me, it will happen...a month or so from now. If not, so be it. There will be other very nice Iron Heart jackets (including the one Giles sent me to London, except this time in a Ladies Medium). As I think I mentioned before on this forum, I refuse to get caught up in hype. The SEXIH07 products are lovely, but the traditional IH products are no less fantastic, in my honest opinion.

Good for you, Shuba. That's the right attitude. It shows on the website as Sold Out already. Before it's released? Why put it on the site then? Or is that a marketing measure like a gallery putting red dots on works that aren't really sold?
Anyways, really nice looking jacket. Looks very similar to an old Lee I have from the 80s. For the price though, or a bit more, you can get into a Schott or Aero leather jacket or into a nice Filson wool cruiser. Both would look equally good with jeans or perhaps even better. I always felt that a jeans suit is really hard to be pulled off and worn correctly, that is without looking ridiculous, especially in an urban environment. You do what you want on the ranch in Montana.

No, as stated in large BOLD red letters right on the product page itself:
"This jacket will be released at SESF, SENY, and in our online store this wednesday, January 13th at 1pm (PST). Stock is very limited and there are no restocks of this jacket, they do not shrink at all because the overdye process gets rid of all the shrinking properties of the denim. Check the online store for hi-res photos, specifications, and a size chart."Our website defaults showing "Sold Out" if there's no stock of an item, if i add the stock in to get rid of the "sold out" then you'd be able to buy it now. We COULD just wait till the release to put the item in our online store but then we'd be fielding sizing chart and spec questions leading up to the release, this way customers know if they want it or not well before the release date.

As Kiya said, it is on the Self Edge website in red writing next to the item. Or if you even wanted to just read this thread thoroughly you would see that I already addressed your question. And tfar, this is a Iron Heart Forum. As in a place to celebrate the products that are made by the company. As far as I know, it is not a place to crap all over the product and deter people from buying other companies items instead. I understand that you have a high knowledge of textiles and what not, but please stop doubting Haraki-San and the folks at Iron Heart/ Triple Works until there is a reason to do so. Before I get attacked for blindly purchasing everything that the brand makes I must say that it is not the case. I have been waiting for this jacket to come out for some time now. As I only own one other (Vintage) denim jacket at the moment, this was the "perfect" time to grab this one. I understand that the cost is high, but please experience the product in person before you make up your mind on what it's worth is. Shub's, as for the whole credit card debt thing I understand your perspective. I should not have bought the jacket and most definitely could have lived without it. That being said, I have never and will never be in credit card debt… I will just have to figure out how to pay the bill off, which I do every month. Might just have to sell a pair of kicks or two.
"Peace and Love"

I'm going to put on my Moderator outfit for a little bit
First, Kiya, thank you for coming on here and telling us about the jacket. As always, the product looks great
Lando, Till is allowed to give whatever advice he feels, so long as it's constructive, however unsolicited as it may be
Till, Kiya is a very well respected member of the denim community. His business practices are as honorable as can be, as I and many others will attest to. The first rule of this forum is to respect the other members, and implying that Kiya's marketing strategy is manipulative will not be tolerated.
Getting out of my Moderators outfit and back into my SEXIH07. Hope I don't have to get into that outfit anytime soon again…

OK, here's what I think. Kiya and Giles are business men. They're clever business men. They're going to do whatever they need to do to get people excited as hell, and to buy IH shit ! That's their job. They're honest, up-and-up guys for sure…but I think what Till was responding to was my statement about SEXIH07 hypermania. Till's mistake was not in expressing his opinion (which I always value) but rather, in not reading the thread thoroughly and jumping to conclusions. But I agree with Till about one thing -- the whole limited run strategy of higher dollar SEXIH07 products is a marketing strategy ! And it is one which apparently works damn well -- so well in fact, that I don't trust myself to set foot into SE SF this month ! I don't blame Kiya for implementing it one bit. He's enticing us...so why not ? That is exactly what he's supposed to do ! Whether we want to cave in or not as customers is our own issue -- not to be blamed on Kiya or Giles !
