There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

Oh man, I feel called out here LOL

I have absolutely clicked on the notify button but been too antsy for something to be restocked and found an alternative in the mean time.  Case in point, I was waiting for those Iron Heart diamond stitched leather shoulder bags last year but a scheduled trip was coming up and I went with an alternative.

Next time I go to click on that Notify button, an image of Giles disappointingly shaking his head is going to pop up in my head

You mean this…...

Hahaha, that's so great!

@Giles:

I did a "register of pre-interest" once.  "We are making this, sign up here if you want to buy one and let us know what size", we got well over a 100 sign-ups and only about 20 sold when we released them.

It made me realize that doing stuff like that was pointless without any financial commitment and that about 80% of the population are as flakey as fuck….

I'm totally guilty of this. In fact, I just upped for three different pieces of denim as the style and color I'm after were out of stock. So I added emails to several with the idea that I'll buy the first style that becomes available. If I'm to finally procure my first pair of IH denim, better do it right, yah?

Hey guys - did something happen to the Buy/Sell Trade page in Marketplace? I can't see it logged in to my account/even when not logged in? Just wondering if others have seen this too - Thanks

Hi,
What exactly the different between IHSH-99 vs IHSH-293OD as far as material or the way it dye?
Beside the obvious: 17oz vs 18oz, 1 is retired vs not? 
The 99 shrunk almost 1 size so it won't shrink anymore after wash?  vs 293 will shrink some?
One feel different vs the other? fade different?…

Thanks,

Overdyeing takes all the shrinkage out of any fabric. So the 293 is also fully shrunk.

Otherwise the 17oz and 18oz are quite different. The 17oz was devised as a very heavy shirting denim. Relatively tight weave and even hand. The 18oz on the 293 was originally devised as denim for vintage style jeans. It has a slightly looser weave and a little more texture.

The major point regarding fading is that they are both indigo denim that has been garment dyed with black fugitive dye, so go black>indigo/grey>white. I don’t think one fades quicker than the other, but the 18oz may have the edge due to its greater texture.

Thank you so much for the good learning info.

Why are some of my pictures unable to upload? Thought the file size was too big so I resized to smaller than another picture that worked, still no dice.

[endo]

file format?

[goosehd]

Make sure the file is in the proper format.  I always use .jpeg

@endo:

file format?

They're all .jpg straight from my phone

[Giles]

What size are the ones that are failing?

[endo]

@Buffoonery_:

@endo:

file format?

They're all .jpg straight from my phone

hmm, .jpg should work if size is not too big
phone not set to .heic?

[Buffoonery_]

So this one works, 2.91 MB .JPG

BUT the next picture in my roll fails and it's only 1.49mb

[Giles]

And it definitely a jpg?

Could you please send it to me at giles.padmore (at) ironheart.co.uk

[Buffoonery_]

Very strange ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[Giles]

I reduced the size in Photoshop and it works, so perhaps the size is on the cusp…..
