Your biggest Iron Heart regret
-
I bought the XHS 25 oz. vest in size XXL because I was going strictly on P2P and didn't know how to correctly size it. I wore the crap out of it, but after a couple years I had to admit it was a size or 2 too large and I sold it. I would love to own one in a large now.

You hear it from a few vociferous people, it's the same for the IH-463S. A few people repeatedly asking us to remake them again because they would sell like crack, is not a good enough reason to do it. We stopped making them for a reason. Yeah, times change, so never say never though.......
If we made things solely because we counted up the number of times we had been asked, we'd be making loads of chambray pyjamas, then we'd realise that it was actually only @endo asking

Beatle Busters sadly will not return. They were too close to other existing cuts and over saturated the fit line. Believe me, if there were a chance I’d be at the front of the movement. Fortunately I have a new pair of 18 oz raw that should let me a while as well as my 21 oz that are still goin strong.
I sold a lot of great stuff before we left Baltimore. Loom Breakers, printed Ts, 86, 87, 88, purple 101 etc, etc. No time for regrets though. There’s always merging new around the corner. Except maybe the 87 and LBs. I might have a little regret for those.

@SKT we asked recently if it could be re-run but no dice. @louisbosco has an amazing one
sorry but mine was a 666UHR first run, not a Beatle buster..

My fave pair of IHs I've owned is the (iirc?) 666s — the 18oz raw denim that was replaced by the current 18oz vintage. So comfortable, such cool fades. Unfortunately it was at the beginning of my IH trip and I didn't really know my ass from a hole in the ground, so I ended up getting a pair one size too small. I can barely fit into them these days and didn't get to get as much wear out of them as I'd like, so I'd say my biggest regret is not having a pair of those in a good size to properly enjoy. C'est la vie though, got plenty of other great pairs of IH to love

@louisbosco IHM-20 I meant, your overdyed M65?

Sold my Indigo cord and 21oz type 3 and slub type 2 because I can never get on with the cuffs- too tight if buttoned and too loose unbuttoned. The indigo cord is the fabric I miss most, so soft.

@AdamJ might just have to ship it out (once I'm done with Aussie winter in may) and do a world tour and see how much more it'll give..
bit hard to wear this now in sunny Singapore, even with the A/C on..

Amazing

@louisbosco Damn that’s nice!

@popvulture Similar to you, my first pair of IH were 666 only in 21L. They are one size too small and I just can’t sell em. It’s just about my favorite denim.
-
Ahhhh cool yeah those are really nice — I have a pair too. They got a lot of wear but still have plenty of life — I don't wear them a ton anymore though because I sorta moved on to 634s and 888s. My tight pants days are rapidly waning haha.
-
My only regret so far is finding IH so late and missing out on so many amazing pieces that have since been discontinued. Something like the Loombreaker thread is painful to read through.
That, and missing the IHSH-316 last year. @Heavy_blue was able to find one in my size last month in Switzerland, which I immediately copped. What I regret about it is having to wait for UK Border Force to pull their heads out their asses and release it to Royal Mail to deliver the damned thing!Take the dive...

@EdH I so feel ya on this. I know it's already been covered in this thread but the f'n Beatle Busters KILL me. Bah.
