    There's no need to bring that up now, is there? 😂

      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

        Purchasing has almost become too easy…and it’s a good thing that everyone has a chance now. Although, I do miss it sometimes 🙂

          @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 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!

                    Wearing my 822’s today with a zipper fly after wearing 666’s-18 with a button fly for an extended period.

                    Does anyone else get a little messed up switching back and forth between the two? Only takes a couple of days to get used to it…

                      @goosehd Yeah I always wrecked the zip on a pair of Orslows a few weeks ago giving them the same mighty yank I'd use to unbutton the fly on my IHs..

                          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?

                            I don’t see why this wouldn’t be possible. Consult the almighty You Tube for guidance.

                              Either that or call your local tailor. My generic little old Korean lady tailor used to do all kinds of complex shit for me for a fraction of what online hipster tailors charge. I really miss her. ☹️

                                Thanks @Matt figured it shouldn’t be too hard for a pro. Perhaps the larger question is where does one buy a large guage two way universal zipper?

                                  Probably the dark web.

                                    Ha. Yeah. Quick google search didn’t yield any results. I’d only want to do it if I could replace it with an equal two way Universal.

                                      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.

                                      You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

                                        Oh dang!! @Dstauffer that’s great news. I’m a bit weary because this jacket is my favorite!! I’d be mega bummed if I fucked it up. Sounds like you’ve been through it though!! Did you ask for any specific brand of zipper?

                                          @Mizmazzle Sorry if missed it, but where are you based? If London then I certainly have an excellent recommendation for a tailor.

                                          Re recommendation for zip. You should post a pic of the jacket itself. Personally, I like the Ri-Ri / beefier YKK zippers as a rule of thumb, but their aesthetic does not suit everything! As stated above, a good tailor should be able to help you get what you want as they will typically have a trade catalogue that you can take a look at.

                                          I ain't got time to bleed.
