Iron Heart Restocks & Arrivals

[rocket]

poor UPS dude…

[tigerpac]

Hope they've got some strong hand-trucks to carry those in

G - are the wool caps in with that order?!

[FurattoHeddo]

@Giles:

100 pairs of IH-634-XHS including 15 pairs of waist size 35 inbound…..

…and in less than 3 months 100+ pairs of MBB's, still any 25oz left after that?

They are in a shipment prior to those…...

The good news is that Haraki loves the 25oz so much and he has already modified the machines and processes to make the denim/jeans he is likely to keep remaking…..

Maybe an update of the 55's in 25oz then?

[Giles]

I think I said this before.  That will not happen.  Sorry.

[Sugar Mountain]

^ For the sake of everyone's balls, this is probably a good thing.

I almost started crying when I read simonc's proposal… It would, however, make quite the efficient birthcontrol system... As in: birth will never occur... Ever...

[Giles]

Simon meant the 1955S not the 555…....

[Seul]

Makes more sense.

[Giles]

I'd be up for a pair…

Now we just need to find another 98 people who're willing so we can convince Giles to do a run.

I'd get TWO if that can help

[Mild7]

I'd get one pair, for real

Giles hasn't restocked the 55's since Will's original run, it's a shame, I have a few vintage denim collector mates who all agree the 55 to be the classic; the most comfortable and flattering cut of them all.  They sold out fast when they came in, which I knew they would.  They are my go to jeans.  So much so I loathe wearing anything else.  The 25 oz 55's probably wouldn't sell as fast but they would all clean house sooner or later.  What I would like to know is why there has never been a restock?

[Giles]

Well, they were a collab with Aero and they never wanted to do a re-run.  Now Aero is no longer interested in  a relationship with Iron Heart, I am free to re-run them - with a redesigned patch.  Van Olzen has designed the patch for me, now I just need to decide when is the best time to run them. Only one of my retailers has expressed any interest is stocking them (which is I take as an indication of overall popularity).  They'll probably be run, but not for a while.

The thing with the 1955s cut is IMO, that those who look for vintage styles and cuts are not necessarily into IH, which is far from being a repro brand. Regarding the original denim used, the use of a 21oz is already untypical enough. Not sure if those kind of people would show interest in 25 oz.

I see many rockabilly guys wearing vintage (55-like) cuts of cheap brands and those also advertise heavy denim, but these clients would not look for 400+$ jeans. So I also think, that the 25 oz 1955s would sell very slowly or even poorly, as they lack a real peergroup. (Not saying, that some around us here wouldn't buy, but flying off the shelves they wouldn't).

After all, many denim fans consider the 44, 47 or 66 pattern at least as much a classic as the 1955. Just saying.
