        really enjoy folks having so much passion about a piece of clothing, it's pretty cool aint it

        Only if it's the people making it IMO 🙂

        Think it, be it.

          if that was the case this thread wouldn't exisit or this forum for the most part.

          no passion = no posts . . . or it could just be folks trying to look cool for their internet brohams, either way it's something there

          almost forgot  🙂

            Look what I started! Ha! I will say to me it doesn't really make sense to continue remaking the red and black flannel and not occasionally make it in other colors. But that's just me. G and H have enough to deal with and making another blue and black flannel is probably at the bottom of the list. I will say I don't care at all about exclusivity. I like IH because they make classic clothes that will last.

              I was saying that tongue in cheek, but passion and a desire for exclusivity are two different things.  Iron Heart doesn't have the capacity to make items that aren't pretty damn exclusive, given that there are 7 billion people on this rock.  I'd be mildly surprised if I ever run into someone in Minneapolis wearing Iron Heart, and my first instinct would be "wow cool that dude's got the same shirt I have!" rather than "oh shit that dude's got the same shirt I have."  The fact is, nobody gives a shit what we wear because in the end it doesn't really matter that much.  Our passion may magnify the importance of our clothes in our own minds, but wearing a buffalo check shirt isn't going to turn heads….

              Anyway, sorry for the OT, I'm done now.

              Think it, be it.

                I care not one iota if anyone wears a buffalo check shirt.

                  It must sell in fecking 1,000's in Japan, because I did not ask for it to be done again…..I do have a particular colour combo in mind for a Buffalo check which I may get done for early next year.....

                      agreed McCmittens, they are two different things. i thought i stated pretty clearly i love the passion these clothes bring from people (no reason behind their reasoning as it varies from person to person).  i've had forum members tell me the brand wouldn't be the same if a certain item was reissued (in public as well as behind the iron curtain) & have seen some pretty scathing posts from folks who have a passion for Iron Heart pushing the boundaries & doing something different (most of those folks aren't shy about the way they feel but have for whatever reason stopped voicing their take on it because it is an endless circular discussion). i just enjoy agreeing with the underdog no matter who he or she is as it spices things up around here.

                      i'm happy when i'm MAD & debating, what can i say

                      on topic, so the IHJ-14 is going to be incredible, can not wait for it to hit & as the outer is duck would probably take waxing pretty well

                        Don't listen to me, G. I have no idea how things work in the real world! This sounds exciting tho.

                          In the real world, I probably have to get enough fabric made for 150 shirts.  If the retailers don't like what I come up with (and none of the far eastern retailers will take any heavy shirt or jacket anyway), 150 is far too many for me to sell on my own.

                            G, thanks for your patience in explaining the reality. It's interesting to hear about how the brand works from the inside. In my mind it's like "while we're making a bunch of red and black shirts, let's just make some blue and black ones as well! Why not?" Haha.

                                If we were a "normal" brand perhaps.  But we design all the fabric we use ourselves, we then have to get it made.  We don't just stroll down to the mill and pick up what looks nice.  We used to for shirting and boy was it a lot easier, but shirts appeared by other brands made out of the same fabric, H decided there and then that this was unacceptable, so we design all our own now.  It adds complication, takes up a lot of Harakis bandwidth, takes time and calls for large minimum quantities.  But the up side is, the fabrics are unique to us…..

                                    And we love IH for this dedication. It makes everything you release that much more special.

                                        Grey/Purple.  And yes super heavy…....I need 2.5 months to get the fabric made and another 1.5 months to get the shirts made up.  That would make a February release........
