        Anyone got any more on these, i.e. wear pics? I'm a little skeptical, but curious. Gotta love options!

              Which denim and cut did you go for, Giles? Any chance of a pic?

              I wonder if they do a heavy denim - I think the heaviest I saw on the list was 16oz.

              I love how they say on the site that construction may take 3 to 5 DAYS….gee I don't have that kinda time spare.  😛

                  Foxy never ceases to impress me. I do! Neglected them for far too long.

                  Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                      I don't know if anyone else saw this, but it looks like on selvedgeforum (where Gun posts regularly), he has a roll of what looks like the 21oz IH denim and another roll of what is almost definitely the 21oz sbg denim

                            That's pretty weird.

                            So, has he actually got some IH denim or is it just something that he calls "IH"?

                              Not sure, but it looks like he got his hands on IH denim. How many other sanforized rht 21oz black warp black weft denims with red selvedge that fade to grey made of zimbabwe cotton do you know of? Also it's labelled IH-2107, which looks like a code for Iron Heart, 21oz, 7th type of denim or something like that. Finally, he already has the SC 40400, 40401, and 40500 denims, so clearly he has the ability to source some pretty cool denims

                                I think this need some sort of explanation….How is this possible?

                                  My guess is that the denim biz works just like the rest of the clothing biz. The fabric biz is different from the design biz which is different from the manufacturing biz. I can go right to the factory and buy the same cloth Canali uses for a suit. Whether i can design it and construct it is another matter, involving not just skill and taste but economies of scale and so on.

                                            What I find particularly interesting is to look at this in context of the Levi's law suit.
                                            A lot of the Japanese brands had to re-consider their "international" approach as a consequence. Some decided to not re-consider and focus on the domestic market only.
                                            I think IH put the right changes in place.

                                            Lately, some of the Japanese brands find themselves in that same position where they are getting copied or at least part of their "intellectual property" - registered or not.

                                            Let's see how this one here turns out.

                                            Being part of the garment and sourcing industry I have to say that fabrics and cuts are getting coppied every single day. Only the big brands have the resources (time & money) to protect their interests and go after copies in a legal form.
                                            As long as things are not marketed under a "stolen" brand name it will be difficult to take legal actions. Legal protection for patterns and fabric (patents) are not common - they are expensive and often useless if you can't afford the follow-up cost.
                                            Most of these case are settled in quietly.
