@Giles:

Quite frankly, it beggars belief.  At one point Iron Heart was used in the same sentence as Donna Karan when the new guy explained which "fashion" brands he did not want to work with.

Jaw, floor, drop…...

This will equal a price hike from Aero, guaran-fucking-teed. Sounds like their cash flow is weak, since they are mentioning IH and Donna Karan together. IH and DK only have one thing in common, price.  Shit will be more expensive or there will be no more IH/Aero collabs, my 2 cents.

IHxDKNY sequinned leather tunic for the F/W 2013 catalogue?

Damn. That's a plan put on hold then.

I obviously did not make myself clear.  When I said that the new management of Aero see no further value from an association with Iron Heart, I meant I will see no more product from Aero, Collab or otherwise.

So quite frankly I personally do not give a shit whether their cash flow is weak or whether their prices trebles.

As I think I said above, I do have a plan.

Agreed

When I put, my 2 cents, after something, it means that it's my opinion.  I don't know shit about Aero, just that their shit is way more expensive that American equivalents.  Nor do I give a shit because I don't ride motorcycles and I don't fly planes.

[Giles]

I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with you but I felt that I had not made myself clear in that there was some indication that you believed there may be something still to come out of the relationship, there is not.

[MikeC]

Looks like you should call Vanson. Haha.  They are in Fall River, MA. I love me some home state love!!!

I have been talking to possible alternatives for 2 weeks.  But these things take time,  I have to re-run prototypes etc….

[Megatron1505]

Better to do it right than quick, I have faith that a stronger product will result from this than a continued relationship with the new Aero.

Why are Samurai Jeans priced so high? What's so special about them compared to Iron Heart or other reputed Japanese denim makers?

[Sherdil]

Where an I find more info about Iron Heart's founder? There's isn't a wiki page on him and my internet search doesn't tell me much. Thanks for the help.

[Sherdil]

Does Iron Heart only use Redline selvage in all their denims? Are they always right hand twill? Do you know which mill in Japan makes their denim?

[Giles]

Yes only redline, though I could change if I wanted to for some denims, but I see no reason to.

We are bringing out some Left Hand Twill later in the year.

Yes I do….

[Sherdil]

Thanks. Did you send a link which gives info on IH's founder?

[Sherdil]

Would you mind sharing the name of the mill that makes all IH denim? Or is that a trade secret? Thanks.
