Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
-
@gaseousclay A few years ago remakes were almost unheard of. If you missed out and wanted something you had to work pretty hard to find your grail. Then G and H-san started choosing one or two shirts to revisit. It started with the red and black buffalo check UHF which I believe there have been three or four iterations of up until now. It tends to be UHF's that get remade.
This started a debate on the forum about whether this was good for the brand. Some folks (especially older heads) felt that half the fun was trying to get something on release day or having to track down "grails" because you missed out or weren't around.
IIRCC, Giles take on it was that with the growth and development of the brand and it's audience some select re-releases would be good, to let people get things that were long gone again and because the sheer amount of shirts that has amassed through the years meant that certain items are just too popular not to do that with. I get the impression that this is a carefully curated process though.
As someone who only came into this a little over three and half years ago I'm pleased that things can make a comeback, the proposed 107 remake being a case in point. As long as IH keep the remakes on point and limited, and keep up the innovation at the same time, then the future's bright [emoji41]

While we're talking Remakes, the SH 19, SH 11 or SH 01 would be very sought after items that most of us were too late to buy.
And as long as the Remake is slightly different (like the 20 vs. 72 / 127) I think it would not take away the pleasure of owning a grail item. -
G, were the weights similar between the 16s and 128s?
The 16 is really heavy. A tank! I do use it as shirt/jacket.
