Unrelentingly?

@Giles I think I already know the answer to this but i'll ask anyways. Do you ever get Instagram 'influencers' who ask for free shwag? Do you basically tell them to take a flying f*ck through a rolling donut?

To the point of infuriation.

We use "Enchant" (https://www.enchant.com/) for our email management (and love it by the way).  Here is the "canned response" that gets used - It's filed under request for freebies….....

_Thanks for your kind note, we are delighted that you follow Iron Heart and love our products.

We receive many requests from individuals - like yourself - who have a fantastic Instagram presence, offering to promote Iron Heart.  Unfortunately we cannot provide free or discounted clothing/outfits to everyone who asks.  We  have lots of loyal, repeat customers who never request a discount, and post pictures on Instagram, our forum and other social media.

I hope you understand, and thanks again for your interest and support._

I was asked by some guy the other day if he could get free stuff and become a "brand ambassador", My response was something along the lines of:

"Why?  We already have tens of thousands of brand ambassadors"

How come you're not offering Gav money not to wear IH Giles?..

[Giles]

I wanted to, then I realised I'd have to do the same for you and it would just get too damn expensive….

Ha… I have a recurrent nightmare about my wife finding my account history open some day.

@jonesy4885 go to the shop home page >> click at the top on my account >> click on order history and details, voilà

Should get the IH-Cleanwipe service, where your order history is wiped clean after every order, for a nominal donation fee

Hi everyone; 'Random questions…' seems like the most appropriate place to ask this:

On Wesco lace-up boots, what's origin/function of the fanned leather 'tassle' one sees emerging from beneath the laces? Any relation to the similar-looking things one sees on old-fashioned golf shoes?

Actually, while I'm here, one more: has anyone ever had any bad experiences accidentally dyeing bath enamel by soaking your new strides? I've recently purchased a pair of indigo/indigo 666s, but I'm staying with my sister-in-law for a few weeks and desperate though I am to soak 'em and get on my way, I'm equally keen not redecorate her lovely bathtub… I appreciate I could just use a big bucket or something, but to my mind it just doesn't have the same romance…

[Giles]

Unless the enamel is really old, scoured and matt, then there should be no long lasting staining.  That's why enamel is used for baths and the like.

Kilties are to protect the tongue from getting chewed up by the laces when they are covered in grit, dirt and sand.

[StoneMagnet]

Then tonight I shall get my soak on – thanks, Giles!

And, yes, I see now – a muddy/gritty grinding paste would be perfect for destroying the tongue – thanks, again.

A most useful thread…
