[Beatle]

woah, that booth / furniture / leather wall looks very spaceship goes isolation room…

[Beatle]

@Seul:

Yeah - just wished I had some Beatles in my town 

LOL..gotta clone me some Beatles and drop in various cities all over the world. Must spread

@Beatle:

IHW-01 Melton, black & SEXIH07bk
love this shirt

Hey Beatle - what bag are you wearing in this pic?

[LandoCal126 0]

Filson Bag…

[Beatle]

Woah, down to 5 on the online store

[Giles]

That's reassuring to know.  Because that is what I have physically got on the shelf….

[gbougard]

Just got mine, and I went Holy FOOOOOCK
then I put it on and I went Holy FOOOOOCK
then I looked at meself in the mirror and I went Holy FOOOOOCK
etc…

this is a serious piece of equipment. Dont need a sweater with this beast on. Pure wickedness.

Haraki, Giles, and the whole Iron Heart Kru = MAXIMUM RESPECT IN EVERY ASPECT!!!

This thing makes me reconsider a lot of things, such as: when (and if) the jean jacket with lining arrives or when (and if) the SExIH triple III black jacket arrives, I might have to get those in XL for regular wear AND in XXL so I can put the IHW-01 under.

Now wouldnt that be something??? A bit totally indulgent, sure, but WTF, we dont give a shit.

Then you should get it in both colours!

@Omega:

Then you should get it in both colours! 

Dont push me, close Im close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
Its like a jungle sometimes, makes me wonder
How I keep from going under

[gbougard]

I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought about was this shirt, and I got this idea:

cut and saw the bottom of the shirt so it looks like a jacket, not a shirt and you got the ultimate jacket.

What do you powers that be think of this?

[Giles]

A possibility….

[gbougard]

@Giles:

A possibility….

if you guys want to experiment, I can send you back mine to use! I'd love to be participating, however modestly, in such an experiment

[Giles]

I'll talk about it with Haraki this week…

[that_was_easy]

Placing my order tomorrow

[SepticSef]

i just realized it is sold out….
damn,i can`t believe i missed this one.
giles,is there any chance of getting one in size large??

[that_was_easy]

I don't want to speculate too much, but I imagine there'll be a restock in these before the season's over.

[SepticSef]

if so consider one ordered!

In Blue yes, black no.

I can't restock what does not exist.  The ONLY way I will get any more is if I can force a run into an already maxed out factory - and I seriously do not know if that is possible…..G

I'd be curious to know more about the annual "industrial" capacity of the factory(ies) used to manufacture IH products:

pants: 634S, 634SR, other models
shirts
jackets

same question with TW

What are the most constraining factors:
lack of fabric deemed adequate for the IH high quality standards
lack of human resources to churn out products

How are those constraints addressed?
can looms be found and started or do those not exist any more and the modern ones are inadequate?
and how much does equipment cost to buy and operate
and how long does it take to train somebody to manufacture IH garment, are there shortages of qualified people and are other brands competing for skilled labor, etc…

questions questions
sorry to bug you Giles but those are very interesting (at least to me)
