    @adam313:

    Or is it to heavy to attempt another run?

    Not necessarily, but not at the top of the list of priorities I'm afraid.  I do agree, it was an amazing fabric….

          Hey @Giles - I was browsing Haraki's blog and any idea what denim cut the first photo here is?  Thanks!

            @Deuce they look a lot like 555's to me.

                        @BULLITT:

                        @Giles in your personal experience, what top 3 fabrics/weights have been the most durable in Iron Heart jeans?  Not thinking about fades, but how resilient the jean has been to wear and tear.

                        Hmmmm, I tend to wear a pair of jeans for about a year more or less non-stop.  Then I move on to the next great thing…

                        If I had to make a stab at this, I'd go.

                        25oz
                        14oz
                        19oz

                        Interesting… The 14oz and 19oz stronger than the 21oz due to the tighter weave?

                            G,

                            What has been the most exciting sample or product that you’ve seen from H?  For example, I love everything I have purchased from you guys, but my hand’s down favourites are the Kersey’s from the last couple of years.

                            Do you have anything that stands out?

                              When I was viewing the first sample of the IHJ-35 - Black Cowhide “One Star” Jacket in Tokyo, which as per norm was my size (well, actually Haraki's but luckily I happen to fit the same size tops as him), I asked him how many Yen I needed to give him there and then to take it home with me.

                              I've never done that before or since.

                              There is actually very little that Haraki shows me that I am not excited about.  I tend to expect most stuff to be amazing, with the occasional "you can release that in Japan if you like, but I won't be buying any" piece  🙂

                                  Giles- After the acquisition of my new Indigo N1 deck vest, i got curious. Why did the Indigo version cause such a premium if the Wabash or other indigo dyed items retail in line with other shirts?

                                    Just a guess.

                                    We did a relatively small run of the indigo whipcord.

                                    Also, costs are going up in the factories and new fabrics get the costs worked out from first principles, but the Japanese are not very good at going back and looking how increased costs affect stuff that has been being made for ages, so they tend not to increase costs of older stuff until they realise they're taking a hosing.

                                      @jordanscollected I'm unsure if this was the case, but there was also some talk before release of the difficulties involved in indigo dyeing whipcord effectively. I believe it was challenging and took multiple dips. This would add to to cost if true.

                                        great info from you both. Thanks and I'm glad i scored this when I had the chance. It seems like there was someone else watching the 2 larges, because the moment i bought mine, the last one sold too.

                                          …when do the UHF's start being released? I use the Harakisan picture of the stack of UHF material for 2021 as a screen saver. 🙂
