      Fast fashion - cheap and on trend, I get to wear it now and throw (I mean give) it away when I am done.

        They've gone fast fashion crazy…....

        Are people really switching from IH to fast fashion?  I would have expected them to have completely different customer bases.  Also, stores like Uniqlo have been around for quite a while.

          I am merely telling you what is happening.  The bottom has fallen out of the heritage market in Japan.

            Thanks for letting us know @Giles. Are we talking a 20% increase then because of the increase in labor costs?

              Some prices will actually go down, many will stay the same, most actual increases will be under 10%, the highest is 16%.  But remember, very little of our recent releases (or FW18) will be affected.

                I remember when entering the IH rabbit hole for the first time a couple of years ago the gear was actually way more expensive than it is now.

                  Completely understandable and greatly appreciate the info and transparency.  IH will pull through, let's do this!  Sad to see some other brands potentially falter though.

                    Thanks for the info. The internet age is a double edged sword. Enabling both hyper fast trends, and yet also a strong community of people who value quality. Happy to be part of the latter.

                      I just appreciate the fact IH is upfront with the change.  A vast majority of brands would not let their customers know a change was coming and would simply let them find out for themselves when they go to buy something.

                        Same. I noticed several other denim brands had increased their prices in the last year but I didn't notice the increases until I saw their stuff up for sale via online stores. Didn't notice them advertising the increases either

                          Yeah thanks for being upfront about it G. Would rather we have to pay a bit more than you guys go under and I lose the best clothing brand

                                    Exactly how I feel about the Stubborn Crew.

                                    The journey is the objective.

                                        I can't help but think some of the fashion trends here in the West have played a part in this. Its a damn shame because Japan has produced some of the finest quality products in so many areas…

                                        Regardless, I'm IH 4 Life so while prices may go up, my loyalty and business remains here.

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