      We are definitely doing a 16oz SBG CPO.  We have sampled it, but the fit was off, so we are having to resample.

      We are also doing a 14oz black/black western.

                        I’m sure it’s technically impossible or prohibitively expensive but I’ve been wondering what a dark brown leather primaloft gold quilted riders jacket would look like

                          If you google Quilted leather jackets and click on images,you'll see some. Not my thing,but they're out there.

                            Not a specific product but a general suggestion (sorry if I'm out of line here):

                            Stock in larger sizes (shirts in size XXXXL and XXXL) is generally low at release, which means that the release of a new item often means sitting in front of the computer and pressing F5 like a madman at the exact moment of release.
                            This is not really pleasant (for me) and I sometimes feel like an idiot because I have to plan the release of an item I really want in my calendar and have to organize my day around this.

                            I have seen some items (at least the XXXXL and XXXL sizes) sell out in 15 minutes or at the end of the day lately so perhaps this could warrant some extra stock in the future?

                            Once again, this is a suggestion. I understand that it is far more interesting (from a commercial point of view) to have an item sell out than be stuck with stock that won't get sold.

                              I am truly sorry, I really am. If I had a magic wand, this would have been fixed immediately.

                              We are a business, our reason for being, is to sell and to make a profit.  Not making enough of anything is a really stupid way to run a business.  But also making too much is also really stupid. So we try to accurately work out what demand will be.  If we could perfectly match demand with supply, we would never have to put stuff on sale, our costs (therefore retail prices) would be lower and we would probably be running this business from a tax haven and lying on a beach.  This is not a science, the art of being a good retailer is not how many times you get it right, but how many times you don't get it wrong.

                              Demand for XXXL and XXXXL has grown exponentially compared to smaller sizes.  I think that this may be because we are one of the few Japanese bands that actually go that large (when I started working with Haraki, our sizing maxed out at XL), coupled with Iron Heart getting all-around more well known and popular over the last few years. Another factor is that virtually none of our retailers order XXXL and XXXXL, so we are the only gig in town for these larger sizes.

                              So we do keep on increasing the percentage of XXXL and XXXXL we order, but the time delay between us recognising we need to change the order bell-curve takes time.  If we place an order for shirts or jackets today, we'll wait a minimum of 6 months to get delivery.

                              Finally, if we place an order for shirts or jackets and we overestimate demand, it is better (as a business) for us to be left with L's and XL's than the outlier sizes, XS, XXXL and XXXXL. So, there is a tendency to be cautious ordering the outliers.

                                I can imagine it is really hard to find the right balance between demand and supply like you've said, and not all items will sell as expected.

                                Thank you for considering this and hearing me.

                                IH is indeed one of the only Japanese brands to offer larger sizes and great quality items, I consider myself lucky (or unlucky? you should ask my wallet) you are even doing this so for now I'll keep setting my alarm clock for the item's I really want to have.

                                  What I really miss is a turtle neck sweater.
                                  A IHTB-01 with turtle neck for example would be absolutly great
                                  have you ever did one ?

                                    No.  We did a polo neck once, but the sizing was really awful…..

                                        I'd love to see IH make a loosely woven 14 oz denim geared towards summer wear… something like the 16 oz vintage denim, but in 14 oz. (A re-release of the 16 oz vintage jeans would also be great.)

                                        Also, I saw that Rox has an IH coffee mug. I'd totally pick up one of those if you decided to re-run them.

                                          The slubby 16oz is a perfect summer weight denim IMO…..Better than the vintage 16....
