From memory all the racking on the right wall is reference material, not product samples.

It's a fun and funny rack to flick through, some very 'interesting' pieces in there haha

Might have to wait for that reindeer sweater, @Seul

[Alex]

Yup, sorry @Seul

Great thread. Stretch denim.. I love anything IH but im
Surprised.

Blue and white hombre and the return of the Freddy Krueger IHTB-01

The stretch denim is amazing.  It uses the same warp as the 21oz selvedge denim and a weft that is very similar, but a shade lighter.  The end result is a denim that weighs about 19.5oz and looks (on the face) almost exactly the same as our 21oz indigo selvedge denim.

And does it really stretch…?  ???

[Giles]

Yep, there is a small amount of lycra spun into the weft yarns

Will there be a new "skinnier" cut to maximize this denim?

I really need to get Maddy in some IH, and get stipulations were "stretch" and "skinny/sex

Also, even if that exact sweater isn't in the lineup, I'm excited. I've been asking for IH knitwear for at least 2 years

So, here is the gig with the stretch denim.  We are starting a new brand/business, working name - Iron Heart Racing.  It will be aimed at the new generation of sportier Harley (and of course, other) riders.  It will launch some time H1 2018.  It will be a Joint Venture between IHJP and IHUK and HQ'd somewhere approx equidistant between Japan and UK  :-X.  This denim and other amazing new fabrics will initially be used in the new range….

Paula, Haraki and I started talking about this 6 months ago, when H was in the UK for my Kanreki, we moved discussions forward, Alex, Haraki and I fleshed it out today...

Excited Moi?
