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

        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?

                  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?

                    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…. 😃 😃

                      some info here, you find that in the "Iron Heart in the press" section

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

                              So has Wil any plans to take his expertise elsewhere or start something new by himself?

                                  This truly is most fuckretarded business decision I have encountered in a long time. There is so much genetic parity between the two brands. You can guarantee that the management have zero awareness of the underground movements that fuel the interest in the collab. Like the dinosaurs they probably think the bright star is a good omen.

                                  Actually really pissed me off when I found out, I love both brands.

                                          This is the bonehead type of move from Aero that I've seen right before a company starts to circle the drain

                                          I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                            I think that it's a great shame that Will's left Aero, and similarly that Iron Heart are no longer involved. I'd been considering a couple of jackets, and the net result is that neither are now possibilities. 😞

                                            I don't know what the background is to all this. There might be sound business reasons, or it might have been a falling out over the direction it's going in.

                                            Anyway, fingers crossed that Will appears elsewhere before too long. If not, there's always a number of other suppliers. (Good Wear, Eastman, Lost Worlds, Langlitz, Lewis Leathers, Buzz Rickson and possibly Pegasus all strike me as good starting points.)
