@iammortalcombat Pretty much everything is made up to 4XL now with the exception of our cut and sewn which is size limited at the factory.
-
@iammortalcombat If you enjoy the “will I get it” now, you should have been here 5-7 years ago. It used to be quite the show with people fighting for sizes and the website crashing mid purchase or just as they launched a new item.

the website crashing
There's no need to bring that up now, is there?

@goosehd
I feel like I remember that. I started shopping for IH around 2017 but was scared to try sizing online and I think I checked the site daily for my first UHF….and never landed one until years later -
@iammortalcombat Hey, that was me! And it's nothing to get stinky about, it's not a 'pre-order' per se by any means.
To clear this up a little - I stumbled over one of Giles' hints at the new collection very early on, as he posted a photo with a sample of the new green ombré when he was in Japan. As I'm a customer at Kentaurus in Cologne, Germany, I talk with one of the guys there, Sammu, on a regular basis. Mentioned the design to him, he confirmed that he had an XXL incoming, and I left my number so he will call me up when the shipment arrives. I'm just lucky my office is literally a 2min walk from the store. No privileged treatment there, that's just how they roll with everything they get in stock.

@tody no need to explain my dude! The gents stated they have their policy and they tell no one how to run their business
So it’s not my business! I would love to have a connection like yours.

@iammortalcombat Move to Cologne, then

@iammortalcombat there are two retailers in the state you live in, perhaps one of them offers a similar scheme? But like we have all touched on in recent posts, our volume is going up, our analysis of past sales data improving drastically and as such more units (especially %wise in 3 and 4XL) are available on our site on the day of launch then ever before

@Alex thanks, I was not so worried about it to bring about all this! Apologies for that. I was aware of division road (was supposed to be at the meetup with y’all, but life event forced a last second cancel), but now I see the other retailer who is new to me, so thanks for that info!

Sorry to shift topic, but I have a zipper question. I have a really nice jacket I love. It has a large one way Universal zipper. Anyone know if it’s possible to replace that zipper with a two way zipper? If so, does anyone know an incredible tailor that does that sort of thing?
-
Hey @Mizmazzle I’ve done this exact thing on multiple jacket (leather, cotton, waxed canvas) and hoodies….damn you IH for getting me hooked
Anyways, most any tailor can definitely do this as it’s a fairly simple alteration. In terms of the exact zipper type and gauge, the tailor can usually special order whatever you want as they typically have access to suppliers with specialized stock for items related to altering clothing.
